Venison Crépinette
To Serve
Directions
Lentils
- Soak the lentils overnight in water. Strain all the water before you start to cook.
- Heat up a large pan, then sweat the onion and garlic.
- Add carrot and celery, then cook for 1 minute with no colour, lightly seasoning.
Add lentils and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in the vegetable stock to just cover the lentils, and gently cook until the lentils are al dente (adding more stock as needed).
- Finish with chicken stock reduction, parsley and butter.
Venison
Soak caul fat in water for 2 to 3 hours to soften
Run venison and pork back fat through a meat grinder and mix until well incorporated.
- Combine all other ingredients well, and weight out portions of approximately 100g.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the caul fat from the water – try to get as much water out as possible, then open it up gently.
Add the pre-portioned venison ball on top of the caul fat and wrap it up.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes.
To Serve
Portion out cooked lentils, and place one venison ball on top. Garnish with parsley leaves and a drizzle of olive oil, then serve.
