Thanks for the recommendation Pablo .. Cooking with Game is my site.
I was looking for some new material to add to the Burger and Sausage sections but thank you anyway.
My best burger recipe is pure 100% ground venison, maybe 5% venison fat coated in a favourite spice rub and barbecued. That's it. Anything else ruins it. Keep it simple , keep it good.
Burgers:
99% minced venison meat (Shoulder and other offcuts are fine), course plate, add 1% salt, lots of freshly ground black pepper, mix well, shape into burgers. I use a simple hand-press (approx. £10 online) to make 4 Oz. burgers, and small plastic disks available from www.sausagemaking.org. to keep the burgers seperate when frozen.
this is just one thread on it..... type into the search bar " burgers" and get a heap o previous posts ...give you plenty ideas hopefully
lots of guys on here with excellent ideas on different mixes & methods either being home made throw in whatever in the cupboard type deal...( me most o the time)
or a bought in mix from likes of scobiesdirect.com or a good one I used is tongmaster.co.uk or weschenfelder
for me half the fun is experimenting..... start with a plain burger as if done well is hard to beat ..... but good fun to try different flavours
I have recently prepped 6lb of venison (both back fillets and one whole roe haunch) and 1lb of pork belly through the meat grinder.
For the seasoning I mixed
1 tablespoon salt
1.5 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped dried onions
1.5 tablespoons of fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
1 tablespoon of chilli powder
1.5 tablespoons of freshly ground mustard seed
150ml of cold water
once all the spices have been thoroughly mixed I then added them to the meat and mixed the ingredients by hand for about 2 minutes to ensure that it was evenly distributed. I ran out of time so left he minced meat covered in the fridge for 24 hours and the next day it smelt incredible.
The next day I fed the sausage casings and made a couple of 1\4 pound burgers.
i shall be keeping this recipe to use again. I also think this would be a great recipe for smoking.
