Ingredients
- Venison 30 oz
- Onion 2 pieces
- Garlic 5 cloves

- Ground Nutmeg ½ teaspoon
- Toasted Cumin Seeds 2 teaspoons
- Grated Ginger Root ¼ teaspoon
- Dill to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Rinse the meat well, cut it into large cubes, and sauté in two batches in a dry skillet for six minutes until the liquid evaporates. Transfer the meat to a pot.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion and sauté in the same skillet with vegetable oil until golden. Add the finely chopped garlic and cumin seeds. Sauté until the garlic has a pungent aroma. Add the wine vinegar and continue cooking, stirring regularly until the liquid completely evaporates (about 2–3 minutes).
Step 3
Transfer the vegetables to the pot with the meat, add enough water to completely submerge the meat, and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam from the surface. Season with salt and pepper, add ginger and nutmeg. Reduce the heat and simmer covered until the meat is tender (about 2–3 hours).
Step 4
Half an hour before it's done, crumble the bread crumb (without crust) and add it to the pot. After about ten minutes, when the bread has softened, mix well (preferably with a fork or whisk) to dissolve the crumbs and thicken the sauce.
Step 5
Serve the stew sprinkled with chopped dill.
