CWD fat

I have shot a number of CWD's and they have a lot of fat in them. Whats the best way to cook without eating all the fat
 
I ate CWD for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I did a boned and rolled haunch and left all of the fat on. It was bloody lovely, the texture of lamb with the flavour of venison, my girlfriend and mother both had it and they agreed that it was the best venison that they had ever had and that is pretty high praise given that we eat venison in one form or another about four times a week.

Cut away the loins and pan fry in a little oil. Cook to your preference but I find them best at rare or just a little beyond. Allow them to rest while you make up a sauce with the remaining oil, now nicely flavoured by the meat, and a good glug of something tasty. Marsala, sherry, port or ginger wine reduced to a syrupy goo will all do the trick. Why not push the boat out and add some cream?
