Part 6/8:

1. Prepare the Venison: Cut the venison into small pieces and sear them in a pan to develop flavor. If possible, traditional methods over an open fire would yield the most authentic taste.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the seared venison, rinsed beans, cornmeal, green onions, and herbs. Start with a quarter cup of clam juice for seasoning.

3. Simmer: Pour in enough water to cover the mixture and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for about 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking at the bottom.

4. Add Squash: Cut the squash into pieces and add it to the pot. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes until the squash is tender.
