📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Namibia practices managed hunting, and meat from wild animals like kudu, oryx, and springbok (game meat) is served routinely at restaurants and lodges. A stew of this lean meat slowly cooked with red wine, onion, carrots, and herbs is a Namibian lodge staple.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On the terrace of a desert lodge in Namibia, against rocky hills glowing red at sunset, a wine-dark meat stew is served in a clay pot.
