2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 lge Onions

1 Tbsp Ground Cumin
2 Tbsp Paprika

2 Tbsp Oregano
3/4 tsp. SaltRecipe
* Take 2 lbs. of venison, either meat or venison burger. If using meat, cube it and brown in batches in olive oil (about 2 Tbsp.) in a large skillet. (I prefer a ten-inch cast iron skillet- not Caphalon!!) If using venison burger, just brown the meat and drain it.
* In a 3-4 quart heavy pot, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and saute two large onions which have been sliced.
* When the onions are limp, but not yellow (don't overcook them, perhaps 7 minutes tops. Add about 10 cloves garlic (which have been mashed and minced. When the garlic scents up, add the meat. Add one quart of homemade beef or chicken stock.
* If you don't have your own stock, try Campbell's low-sodium chicken stock.)
* Add the spices. Crush the oregano in your hand before adding.
* Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer; cover and simmer for at least 3 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
* Even though venison is very lean, the chili should be defatted.
* Serve it up in bowls with rice, beans, bread or whatever on the side. Coleslaw would be the only salad I would serve with it
