About the dish

The game stock is built on the cheaper parts of the animal — the neck, breast, and shoulder of roe deer, hare, and other game. Erken gives a separate clarifying method in which browned game meat and bones are pounded in a mortar with egg white, so the stock is both clarified and gets a stronger flavor.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Brown the meat

    Brown the game meat in fat and half-cook it.

  2. 2

    Bring to a boil

    Pour on the water. When it boils and is well skimmed, add the cleaned vegetables and the spices.

  3. 3

    Cook the stock

    Let the stock cook slowly for about 3 hours.

  4. 4

    Clarifying

    Clarify the stock in the usual way, or better: brown bones and meat of game in the oven, pound it in a mortar, and mix in 1 egg white per 4 liters of stock.

  5. 5

    Whisk in and simmer

    Stir the mixture into the cold game stock while whisking constantly, until the stock comes to a boil. Then let it gently simmer over quite low heat for 1–2 hours.

  6. 6

    Strain off

    Remove all the fat and strain the stock through a fine sieve.

Changes from the original

Measures modernized (grams, liters). "Fat" is kept as cooking fat; lard or butter can be used. The clarifying is described in a separate step with modern wording.
