Preparation and cooking times
- Soak the porcini mushrooms in 200ml of boiling water and in a separate bowl, toss the chunks of meat in the seasoned flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based saucepan. Fry the onions gently for 5 - 10 mins or until softened.
- Stir in the garlic, floured meats, sausages (if using) and pancetta and once browned, pour in the red wine and stock. Add the porcini mushrooms and soaking water, and the herbs. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer, cover and cook for an hour.
- Add the chestnut mushrooms and cook for a further 30 mins or until the venison is tender. Thicken with cornflour, if using.
- Season to taste, transfer to four plates and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Serve with mashed potato or brown rice.
