Growing up in Northern Ontario, there are 3 rules you need to follow, to fit in. You have to like fishing, hunting and snow. I guess I'm not a true Northern Ontario girl, because I love to fish and hunt, but could totally do without the snow, LOL. I grew up fishing in the summer and hunting in the fall. We ate what we caught, so I grew up eating fresh fish, partridge, rabbit and moose. So, I was super excited that my brother and Dad, decided to share their moose with us. Never really having cooked it, I didn't know what to do with it, other than fry it. Then I thought it might taste good in a stew, so I did some browsing on line.
I found THIS recipe and thought it sounded good. I did change a few things in it, so I'll post my version for you today. This was really delicious. The meat wasn't gamey, the potatoes were creamy and the tomato soup tied everything together. The kids really loved this as well, as did Hubby. It is a great and different way to cook up moose and bet it would even be delicious with beef, in it's place.

I love to fish and hunt too and also dislike snow. But I don't really have to worry about that!
Will have to show this to Gabe. He is all about eating things that are bigger than he is.
Thanks for linking up!
It's great that you have the opportunity to try different game. When we moved to Colorado, I had never eaten elk before, but ended up liking it as much as beef. Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop. :)
I had moose once in Northern Ontario when I was a kid, but I can't really remember what it tasted like. At the time I just thought it was beef :) Your stew sounds delicious, the flavours you have used are a great foil to game.
