delicious roast, made easy

Peel and finely chop the onions. Brown the fallow deer meat and onions on all sides in a little butter in a roasting pan. Deglaze the roast with the wine and water. Add the game spices with a little salt and pepper and stir into the stock. Braise the game for about 3-4 hours, turning the meat occasionally and stirring the sauce. Remove the meat from the roasting pan and set aside. Thicken the sauce with a sauce thickener until it reaches the desired consistency and season again to taste. The roast is now ready to serve. I recommend potato dumplings as a side dish.
