Venison Stew with Tomatoe-Fruits from the Outlander Kitchen Cookbook

Hands up, who else sobbed their way through the Outlander Series 2 finale yesterday on their device while their husbands were busy watching the football/tennis/Formula 1 on the telly?

Not just me, eh?

I can’t even remember why I began watching Outlander – I think I was randomly flicking through the tv shows on Amazon Prime one night after finishing Black Sails and Turn, wanting something set in the same era to watch. It wasn’t until Series 2 was released that I began watching, but I was instantly hooked on the romantic tale of WW2, time-travel, kilted Scotsmen and true love. The first half of the first series was, to me, what I imagine a Mills & Boon novel to be like (I’ve never read one, true story!), but then it got dark, really quickly. 

I caught up on the episodes pretty quickly, and then had to wait one week for each new episode to be released. I have to confess, while I was bikepacking through the highlands of Scotland recently it was still there in the back of my mind that I’d have a few episodes to catch up on when I returned!

Outlander Kitchen by Theresa Carle-Sanders

The day after I began my epic bikepacking trip the official Outlander companion cookbook was released, Outlander Kitchen, written by Canadian chef, food writer and unabashed fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander book series.

Featuring more than one hundred recipes, Outlander Kitchen retells Claire and Jamie’s incredible story through the flavors of the Scottish Highlands, the French Revolution, and beyond. Theresa has drawn on the events and characters contained within the pages of Gabaldon’s novels to create mouthwatering and inspiring dishes highlighting local ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, but updated for today’s modern kitchens.

There are a wide range of recipes from breakfasts to appetizers, soups to preserves, meat and seafood dishes, sweets and desserts and even drinks and cocktails.

Each recipe comes with an exerpt from the original books from where it was inspired, plus a bit of historical background to really bring it to life.

For my first meal from this book I chose the venison stew with tomatoe-fruits served with Spoon Bread.

Outlander Venison Stew recipe

While bikepacking through the highlands of Scotland recently the weather was mostly on our side. Except for one day, one day where the heavens opened from early morning until late afternoon all the way from John o’Groats to Thurso. We were soaked to the bone, with shriveled toes and fingers like we’d spent too long in the bath.

We had intended on cycling all the way from John o’Groats to Bettyhill that day, following the north Scotland coastline (apparently it’s really picturesque if you can see the sea – we couldn’t), but after passing a rather unusual split stone on the outskirts of Melvich and pausing for a break after cresting a rather steep hill we spotted an inn with a tendril of smoke gently drifting from its chimney.

We were lured inside at the thought of getting warm and dry, and possibly a bite of food. It turns out that they had camping facilities: for only £5 we pitched our tents in the garden, grabbed a wonderful hot shower and propped our soaking wet cycling shoes next to the coal fire in the inn to dry.

Dinner was ordered. A haggis starter and the most gorgeous, succulent venison stew for a main. For this reason I chose to make venison stew from this cookery book, a recipe the publishers have very kindly given me permission to reproduce.

Venison Stew with Tomatoe-Fruits from the Outlander Kitchen Cookbook

In 18th century Britain venison was only found on the tables of the wealthy – the lords and lairds whose land holdings were large enough to sustain a deer population. Highlanders themselves survived on boiled grains and vegetable stews up until the clearances when they were forced from their homes (we saw many an information board on our cycling travels through the highlands about these clearances) and they began to hunt in the North American forests filled with birds and game.

This recipe is a gorgeously rich, satisfying stew, and served with Spoon Bread (a favourite of George Washington) it made for a rather delicious dinner last night before I watched the Outlander series 2 finale.

I sobbed my way through the last half of the episode, and as soon as it was finished I ordered the first three Outlander series books off Amazon. I can’t wait until series 3 comes out, I need to find out what happens!

You can buy a copy of Outlander Kitchen off Amazon for £25. It’s also available in Canada for $47 and the United States for $35. For more information (as well a well stocked recipe index!) visit the Outlander Kitchen website.

  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 cups good quality beef stock (see recipe in book)

Instructions 

  • In a small saucepan, cover the kidney beans with 2 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and soak for 1 hour. Drain.
  • Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup boiling water for 1 hour. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop the tomatoes roughly.
  • Move a rack to the bottom rung and heat the oven to 325 F/ 160 C.
  • Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pat the venison dry with paper towels, then dredge the pieces in the flour to coat on all sides.
  • In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heath the oil over medium-high flame. In batches, brown the venison on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Rest the browned meat on a plate and repeat with the remaining venison, using additional oil if required.
  • When the last batch of venison is gone from the pan, reduce the heat to medium and fry the bacon pieces until golden brown. Add the bacon pieces to the venison and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the pan.
  • Add the onions to the pan and cook until slightly softened, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the stock, tomato soaking liquid, venison, bacon, beans, tomatoes and beets. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid boil.
  • Meanwhile, make a bouquet garni. Wrap the bay leaves, rosemary, juniper berries and garlic in a square of cheesecloth and tie with string, or enclose the items in a large tea ball.
  • When the stew is boiling, poke the bouquet garni under the surface and cover the pot. Cook in the oven until the meat, beans and beets are tender, about 90 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot with Spoon Bread (recipe in the book). Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.

    I’ve read most of the books and just started Season 2 but hands down the wedding night scene was The Best. It was hot, funny and sentimental and it’s refreshing to see sex scenes on TV that are all about the female gaze, rather than male. Also, that dress. Amazing.

    What a fantastic recipe! I admit I have never had venison. I must try this 🙂 As for Outlander, yes I am an ardent fan of the books (am on book 3, purchased all 8) and of the show. I think the television series has done a masterful adaptation of the source material, from capturing the wild beauty of Scotland, to the intricate details of costume and language. The casting is superb! My favorite moment from the show has to be in the season 2 finale… The heartbreaking dance like sequence when Jamie sends Claire back through the stones. It was so beautifully acted, the longing and grief palpable. I was weeping. A close second is the wedding, both in the book and the show. Thank you for sharing your passion! Take care.

    I find it strange that there’s an Outlander cook book! This dish really yummy and warming and what great cuts of meat!

    That looks like a winter-warmer and looks absolutely delicious. Also love your white pot 🙂

    Unfortunately I haven’t been able to watch Outlander on TV as it was on Amazon Prime and sadly goes beyond my current budget but will hopefully catch it on DVD…it sounds great.

    Wow your venison stew looks amazing. I bet the bacon gives it an added extra. Looks just the perfect comforting dish for after a long trek.

    I really enjoy venison, as it’s such a rich meat. I am glad to see more venison recipes being featured on blogs too.

    Its amazing to see how different venison is now, it is becoming more mainstream than it was when it was the prime meat of the wealthy.

    I am the biggest Outlander fan going, have read all 9 books and am totally in love with Jamie and Clare in the TV show, great casting!
    My favourite book is still the first one as I love all things Scottish (men in kilts mainly) and the Wedding episode has to be my favourite still after 2 seasons of watching on Tv.
