Recipe: Venison and Pine-Ring Mushroom Stew

Posted on 5 July 2013

During the month of June visitors to Delheim Wine Estate in Stellenbosch can enjoy tasty wild and exotic mushroom dishes at the Delheim Garden Restaurant, with many of the mushrooms used in the dishes coming from Delheim’s own forest. (Here’s what happened when we went mushroom foraging.) Their mushroom menu will only be available again next year, but never fear: they’ve kindly given us some recipes so you can have a taster in your own kitchen!  Here’s their recipe for a delicious venison and mushroom dish.
