Moose & Venison Chili with Rouladen

We are moving in Feb so we are trying to clean out our freezer as much as possible. It is also fun to eat ridiculously good food while pretending we are in a pandemic and can't get groceries.

Tonight my wife made the most delicious venison/moose chili. When I had our moose butchered at Huniford's in PG I over-ordered the thinly sliced rouladen, thinking I'd make a ton of jerky. I made some, but not enough, so the only moose we have left is cut into thin slices. Turns out it is perfect for chili. Ground meat sort of gets lost in all the beans and vegetables and tomatoes but the thin sliced moose stayed firm and really delicious.

I think I'll order as much rouladen next time, just for the chili.

Of course, some really good red wine was a nice complement too.

I made some chili a while back with ground bear meat and my son said "dad that's the best chili I ever had"

Have you considered making rouladen from the rouladen cuts? One of my favourite dishes as a kid & to this day.

To be honest, I'd never heard of it until I searched to check my spelling. Sounds pretty delicious.

Reminded me that I have not had rouladin in a long long time.

Just posting to note that I rather LOVE that line. https://www.tnof.ca/styles/default/x...s/Pozitive.gif
In fact we over here are living just that too!

What a great idea. I'll have to ask for some rouladen cut the next time we get something.

Ooo, rouladen, potato dumplings, red cabbage cooked in red wine, salad with oil/vinegar dressing & a nice red..... Fine china & silverware for the occasion.
