While cleaning out the freezer I found the last remaining package of elk stew meat that we had. Which sounds like a wonderful thing to throw in the slow cooker for dinner. And then as I continued there was a package of chicken of the woods mushrooms right behind it. I have never cooked the two together but it sounds like it would be tasty. Hopefully this little experiment will be the most delicious thing I have made. Other then my cheeses of course. For those of you that don’t know what chicken of the woods is it is a polypore mushroom that grows on old stumps and logs. Also called a sulfur shelf mushroom.
random stew ingredients:
- 1 package of elk stew meat (around a pound)
- 1/2 lb of chicken of the woods mushrooms
- 4 small potatoes diced up
- 4 carrots
- 2 tablespoons dried onions (out of fresh ones)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 beef bullion cubes
- 4 cups of water
Cut everything up and add to your slow cooker. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or until it is cooked to where you want it. If you want a thicker stew add 2 tablespoons of flours and mix in or one package of brown gravy mix. This would be good with a strong cheese added but unfortunately I don’t have any ready at the moment
