Hunter’s Stew
Cut lean meat or game into small chunks about an inch or one and a half inch square.
Mix some flour, salt, and pepper together, and rub your meat well in it. Brown it in a little fat in the pot,
shuffling the pot so as to sear, but not burn the surfaces of the meat.
Add clean water, and hang pot high over the fire. It is important that the water should not boil hard, but merely simmer.
Later add cut up vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and onions. The water should just cover the food—no more. Cook
until tender.
