Method
Place the trimmed game flesh, vegetables, herbs and spices into an enamelled or stainless steel container. Pour over the red wine and allow to marinade for 24 hours. Brown the drained meat in a heavy cast iron casserole. Add the vegetables from the marinade and cook a little further. Add tomato paste, flour and the reserved marinade. Bring to a boil then cover with a lid and place in the oven at 130°c for around 2 hours – allow to cool and refrigerate overnight. Place the meat and sauce into a pie dish and cover with puff pastry before brushing with beaten egg yolk. Bake at 200 °c for 30 – 35mins until golden and bubbling. Serve to 4 hungry game lovers.
