Couple of years back now I cooked up a couple of particularly big Velvet Swimming Crabs and served them up with some venison steak from the same estate I was on.
My version of a West coast of Scotland Surf 'n' Turf!
It was very good!
Saturday evening.
Then again today Sunday lunch.
Here from a yearling roe buck the liver plate after 5 days in the fridge soaking in 3.5% fat milk, then the liver is fried in butter for about one minute per side. The mashed potatoes get a 50-50 milk and melted butter liquid mix added to make them very soft.
The sauce though is my partners speciality, it is made with 15% alc red wine, juniper berries & bay leaves with a Fir Cone Syrup (Mugolio) that she makes up herself then later she adds sliced roasted chestnuts. The mix is cooked on a low heat for half hour then the juniper berries & leaves come out and it gets blended smooth and cooked on for another quarter hour at a low heat until it thickens up.
Delicious.
