Dice the meat coarsely. Slice onions and crush garlic with a little salt. Heat enough dripping to cover the bottom of a heavy casserole dish. When smoking, quickly fry the meat in batches until golden brown. Remove the meat and keep warm. Lower heat and fry onions and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the beer, stock or water, vinegar, bouquet garni and juniper berries. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Return meat to the casserole, then cover and place in a moderate oven 170C / 325f / Gas mark 3 for 2 to 2 and a half hours. Served with cooked brown rice. |
