Spiced Venison Food

SPICED BRAISED VENISON WITH CHILLI & CHOCOLATE

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the meat in batches. Add the vegetables in the dish and brown lightly, then stir in the spices, chilli and flour, and cook for a few mins. Pour in the wine, stock and tomatoes, then add the herbs. Bring to a simmer.

SPICY VENISON MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top.
• Combine ground venison, Italian sausage, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, Italian seasoning, red pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Scoop meat from the bowl and form into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place meatballs on top of the cooling rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked though, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

SPICED VENISON ROAST

Steps:

• Brown roast, in bacon fat, on all sides, in roasting pan.
• Mix remaining ingredients together. Pour over roast.
• Cook 3 hours in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 3 to 4 hours.

SPICED VENISON WITH PARSNIP PUREE AND PARSLEY OIL

Steps:

• Bring a large quantity of salted water to a boil. Fill another bowl with water and add ice. Add the parsley to the boiling water and blanch until softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the ice water. When cold, drain and squeeze the parsley well to remove as much water as possible. Transfer to a blender and add the salt and sugar. Start the machine, and add the oil in a thin, steady stream. Blend until the blender jar feels slightly warm, 3 to 5 minutes.
• To make the parsnips, combine them and the garlic in a large saucepan, then add water to cover and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the point of a knife inserted into the parsnips meets no resistance, about 25 minutes. Drain, transfer to a food processor, and puree. Add the honey and butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to blend. Keep warm.
• To make the venison, combine the fennel, coriander, cardamom, and black pepper on a large plate and mix. Season the venison with the salt to taste and roll it lightly in the spice mixture to coat evenly.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the venison and sear it, turning once, about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 6 pieces each.
• PLATING: Divide the puree among 4 serving plates. Surround each portion with 3 upright pieces of the venison, drizzle over the parsley oil, and serve.
