3 large onions, coarsely chopped, reserve 2/3 for layer cooking
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lb. carrots, cut into 1" pieces or baby carrots
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf

and bubbly. Add browning sauce if desired. Remove bay leaf.

Above venison stew prepared on 09-21-14 and was outstanding. I used more
potatoes and carrots than what the recipe calls for since they usually get gone
first! Rosemary and thyme spices go very well with any type of venison or
wild game and 1/4 teaspoon of each would be about right.

Original recipe web published on 08-30-08 and it was outstanding. I have
tweaked the recipe since then and like my current version better.
NOTES: The potatoes and balance of onions are basically steam
cooked due to the venison and carrots occupying most of the Dutch oven and are
wonderful both in taste and texture. Rosemary and thyme spices go
very well with venison and most wild game and about 1/2 teaspoon is plenty.
