Dust the beef stew with flour and season with salt and pepper. Cut the onions into half-moons, the celeriac into dice, the carrots into slices and crush the garlic cloves. Mix meat and vegetables with red wine, game stock, crushed juniper berries, cloves, bay leaf, red pepper berries, nutmeg, dried prunes and cranberry compote. Fill the Römertopf, which has previously been soaked in cold water for at least an hour, including the lid, with it. Put the covered pot in a cold oven. Set the oven to 200°C and not to hot air. Set the timer for 2 hours. After that time, check whether the meat is sufficiently cooked and then leave the pot without the lid in the hot oven for another 15 minutes. Finish off with chopped parsley and serve with fries. You can serve individual bowls of mixed salad with it.
