Dark Background Of Game

Preparation:

Preparation: The indicated quantities are used to prepare about 1.5 l of primer. Since it is a rather laborious preparation, we advise you to make a quantity of stock greater than the current need, keeping what you do not use immediately in the freezer, divided into jars. Put the oil in a pan with the bones, well cleaned and cut into pieces of uniform size, and let them toast in the preheated oven (180-200 degrees) for 5-10 minutes, then add the tendons and skins. In the meantime, clean the vegetables, wash them carefully under running water and pat them dry with a cloth; cut them into cubes, add them to the bones and cook them too. Remove the pan from the oven, remove any fat that appears on the surface and continue cooking on the heat. Add the tomato paste and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Pour in part of the red wine and cook over high heat to facilitate evaporation. Repeat this operation several times in order to obtain a darker and more intense color of the cooking juices. Finally, pour the cold water needed to completely cover the bones into the saucepan, bring to the boil and remove the cooking liquid that has formed with the spatula. When the liquid starts to boil, transfer the contents of the pan into a sufficiently large saucepan. Bring the broth back to the boil and remove the foam that will form on the surface, using a slotted spoon or a spoon. Add the aromatic herbs and spices and cook the broth over low heat for at least 60-70 minutes, continuing to skim from time to time. Cover the inside of a pointed sieve with a clean cloth and put the contents of the saucepan inside, a little at a time: do not carry out the operation all at once, otherwise the cloth will not be able to filter the broth perfectly, which would remain opaque. Collect the filtered broth in a clean saucepan, then boil it gently, so that it is consumed, until it has reached the desired density. Degrease it and let it cool. --- ADVICE. A tasty base forms the basis for many game dishes. If during the preparation of the game you have some bones left over, we advise you to use them for the preparation of a good stock, which will certainly come in handy. You can use the bones of a single type of animal or mix bones from different animals, however the ideal is to prepare the stock with the bones of the animal which will then be cooked in the stock itself. The bones used must be perfectly cleaned of any residue of hair, feathers or blood. It is necessary to pay close attention to the cooking times, in particular not to let the bones roast for too long in the oven, otherwise the stock would take on an unpleasant bitter taste. We also advise you not to salt the stock during preparation, because it is difficult to determine in advance the right amount of salt to add: only when the stock is ready, before using it, taste it and season it to the right extent.
