venison tartare

Oh yes - a lovely dish. I used to sell this made from fillet steak years ago until some wise guy asked for it to be cooked medium rare!!
Crushed garlic, finely chopped shallots, gherkins and capers, fresh parsley, salt and black pepper. Finely chop the meat - don't mince. Use prime cuts such as lean meet from the loin. Bind the meat with with the rest of the ingredients using raw egg white. Mould it into a round pattie make a little well in the middle and put the egg yolk.

After one of these you should be howling at the full moon and biting the dog!!

the beauty of the recipe it is entirely individual.
A friend ordered it once and it came "unassembled", he got to choose how much mustard, how many capers, how much salt and pepper etc etc.

so long as you have plenty of salt and pepper, egg, chopped capers, spot of mustard to taste. I think using ketchup is just plain wrong!
if you want the taste fry off some tomato puree
 
Tried the piere white recipie. v nice but not being used to it only managed 1/2 of it before I fried the last 1/2 up and had a v expensive burger!!
