Sure you'll enjoy it! You could pop it in the marinade now. I often leave it 3 or more days in the fridge.

Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


Well I just made a marinade for it didn't have any red wine but I will pick some up tomorrow so it can be added overnight.

I added to the marinade

Juniper berries crushed
allspice - pinch
stock - small mixture of veg and beef
Cider vinegar
Olive oil
and I put a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a bit of balsamic vinegar

tasted quite nice, venison is now in the fridge.

Do you think this sounds ok??

Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


Emma, sounds mouthwatering!!! Let us know how it turned out. I checked the "no salt added" canned tomatoes today at the market & they had 25mg of sodium?? Seens high to me compared to yours in the UK...but low compared to our regular here with 190mg Dinner tonight is chicken noodle soup (simmering on the stove as I write..smells heavenly) and the usual green salad and roll.

Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


Dandysmon these sodium levels are all very confusing aren't they?? so that would make it 0.025 of salt which is a lot better, have you tried these??? Shame the tins are so heavy otherwise I would offer to post some out to you!! lol

Re: What are you having for your dinner tonight?


Emma, thanks for that generous impulse, BUT I accidentally bought a unsalted can of tomatoes several years ago and thought it was awful NO flavor...I guess I'm addicted to the saltier variety that I've grown up with, and, as I have no problems with hypertension (usual blood presure is 114/72 ) I'll stick with the usual...although I don't add salt to any recipe I'm making when I use tomatoes. How was the venison??

Very similar to the one in my marinade Emma. Mine has a spoon of redcurrant jelly, also chopped veg (onion, celery, carrot) which you discard.
Sure you'll love it. The small whilst it cooks is wonderful!
