- 20 g butter
- 200 ml milk
- nutmeg
- 2 carrots
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 250 ml red wine
- 500 ml game stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cloves
- 3 allspice berries
- 1 tsp peppercorns
- 40 g gingerbread
- 1 tbsp cranberries (jar)
- 60 g black walnuts
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Celsius. Set it to use both top and bottom heat.
- 2. Rinse the wild rack under running water. Pat it completely dry with kitchen paper. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper.
- 3. Heat oil in a large roasting pan. Sear the meat on all sides until it forms a brown crust.
- 4. Peel the onion, celery, and carrots. Cut the vegetables into small cubes.
- 5. Add the cut vegetables to the meat in the roasting pan. Sauté them briefly until they take on some color.
- 6. Stir the tomato paste into the vegetables. Deglaze the mixture with wine.
- 7. Add some meat stock to the roasting pan. Add the bay leaf, cloves, allspice berries, peppercorns, and the piece of gingerbread.
- 8. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Braise the meat for 60 to 70 minutes until pink. Ensure the center reaches a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees Celsius. Use a meat thermometer for this if possible.
- 9. Turn the meat occasionally during the cooking time. Pour in a little more stock if necessary to prevent it from drying out.
- 10. Peel the potatoes and parsnips. Cut them into evenly sized pieces.
- 11. Cook the vegetables in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain them afterwards.
- 12. Press the cooked vegetables through a potato ricer. Let them steam off briefly.
- 13. Stir the butter and hot milk into the purée. Use a wooden spoon. Stir until the purée is creamy.
- 14. Season the purée with salt and grated nutmeg. Keep it warm.
- 15. Remove the wild rack from the sauce. Wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest.
- 16. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Reduce it further if necessary to thicken it.
- 17. Season the sauce with cranberries, salt, and pepper.
- 18. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces between the bones.
- 19. Place the purée on the plates. Arrange the meat pieces on top.
- 20. Slice the drained walnuts. Distribute them over the meat.
- 21. Serve the sauce in a separate bowl.
- 22. Garnish the dish with fresh cherries if desired.
