For a richer flavor, consider searing the bear meat in bacon fat instead of olive oil and margarine. A splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar can add a delightful tang to the stew. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as celery, parsnips, or rutabaga, to suit your taste. If you don't have fresh mushrooms, 1/2 pound of dried mushrooms, rehydrated in hot water, can be used as a substitute. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Some people enjoy adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
