Venison Ragout Food

ARCTICBERRY CRUSTED VENISON WITH CAULIFLOWER RAGOUT, MOCHA REDUCTION

Steps:

• For the Venison:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the venison into 5-ounce pieces. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and heat. Add the venison and sear until brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook to rare, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Spread the chutney on the venison and then press the panko into the chutney so it sticks. Return to the oven and cook to medium rare, about 5 more minutes.
• For the Mocha Sauce:
• Crush the coffee beans and toast lightly in a hot pan. Remove from the heat and set aside. Clean and slice the fennel. In a pot, toast fennel seeds on low heat to golden brown. Add the olive oil and fennel and sweat until soft. Add coffee beans and veal stock and bring to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain. Whisk in the cocoa powder and cook for 2 minutes. Place the cauliflower puree on 4 plates. Top with a venison steak and finish with a little of the sauce.
• Clean and trim the cauliflower into small bouquets.
• Cook the scraps and 1/2 of the white parts in vegetable stock until soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the cream. Remove from the heat and puree. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Saute the remaining cauliflower bouquets in a hot saute pan with a little butter. When the cauliflower just starts to get tender, but is still crunchy, add the puree and mix well. Season, to taste, with lemon and salt and pepper.

VENISON RAGU

• Venison Ragu.
• In deep fry pan or dutch oven: Brown venison in olive oil. Do not crowd pan; do in batches if necessary. Remove to plate, with any juices. Do not wash pan.

VENISON RAGU

Steps:

• Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy pot like a Dutch oven. Add the onion, celery and carrots and cook gently for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often. Do not brown them. Sprinkle a little salt over the veggies as they cook.
• When the vegetables are soft, stir in the chopped porcini and tomato paste and allow everything to cook for 3 or 4 minutes, again, stirring often. When the tomato paste begins to turn the color of brick, add the ground venison, the porcini soaking water and the broth. Bring to a simmer.
• Allow this to cook down over medium-low heat. Take your time here and resist the urge to do this over higher heat. Stir from time to time. When the liquid has mostly evaporated, add the wine and repeat the process. When that has mostly evaporated, add the milk, nutmeg and black pepper and stir well. Bring back to a simmer and add salt to taste. Let this cook until it is the consistency you want.
• When you add the milk to the sauce, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add enough salt to make it taste like the sea. Once the ragu has thickened, add the pasta to the salty water and cook until its al dente.
• To serve, put the pasta in a large bowl and add a healthy ladle of sauce. Toss to combine. Give everyone their portion, then top with a small ladle's worth of sauce. Grate the cheese over the top and serve.
