Donkey Stew is a traditional Tuscan dish, prepared with donkey meat slowly cooked with butter, lard, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, tomato sauce, and meat extract. The long cooking time makes the meat tender and succulent, while the ingredients flavor the sauce, creating a unique and irresistible combination of flavors. This dish is ideal for enjoying during cold winter days, accompanied by delicious polenta.
Cut the garlic cloves into slivers and insert them into small cuts made in the meat
Place the butter and the previously chopped vegetables together with the lard in a pot and sauté for a few minutes, then add the meat and brown it well, turning it often; moisten with a few ladles of hot water in which the meat extract and tomato sauce have been dissolved
Cover the pot and cook the meat over very low heat, turning it from time to time and moistening it when necessary with a few ladles of hot water
Halfway through cooking, salt and pepper to taste
To achieve an excellent stew, the flame must be very low and the meat should remain on the heat for at least four hours: the result will be tender, delicious meat and a velvety sauce like cream
Serve cut into thick slices drizzled with their sauce; it pairs well with fresh salad greens such as red radicchio, lettuce, etc.
