Venison verdict!


OK, after 3 days sitting in the red wine/redcurrant/juniper etc marinade I have finally finished the preparation and cooked the venison casserole.
The verdict is.............................................mmm , mmm. It is really good, like beef, but not beef, and very tasty. Not game-y, very tender. If you served it up without saying what it was I think most people would say 'Beef? - but what have you done to it?' A little softer on the teeth and a little 'drier' in texture (But not dry because of the gorgeous sauce).

So, go for it. The recipe is still in the previous thread. I'll certainly make it again, 6 servings of a very luxurious main course for under £6 all in. and it's well worth considering for Christmas if you want a change from poultry.

Re: Venison verdict!


im glad your meal turned out well, i had venison a good few years ago in austria and i dont think i ate much of it but our local farmers market does venison burgers which ive tried a couple of times and while its not quite the same as properly cooked venison its got quite a strong taste compared to beef hasnt it ?

Re: Venison verdict!


I like using ground venison in dishes as the meat is so lean.

A well prepared roast or steak is nice too... I've had some really good kabobs.
