Venison is a meat that needs a strong sauce and peppercorn sauce is an ideal partner. We used the remainder of the haunch to make a venison rogan josh, it made a fantastic curry.
We also sautéed some sliced backstrap very simply with tomatoes, onion, garlic and thyme, took 5 minutes and was beautiful, simple and served with rice. A simple but tasty dish. Not enough people eat venison, it's lean, high in protein and low in fat and a healthy meat to eat. But as you know so many people turn their nose up at it without trying it.
Last night we had our version of a cassoulet with venison, pork and apple and smoked sausages along with chicken thighs a good selection of veg in the stew and served simply with fresh made bread straight from the oven. Some of the shoulder meat will be made into pies with leek and black pudding I'll let you know how they are.
Today we'll be pickling cornichon cucumbers as we have quite a glut of them and we have no intention of letting them go to waste.
