Recipe available perchance? Pretty please.
No specific recipe followed but roughly -

Season flour with S&P, lightly dust 1kg of wild boar and brown them in oil.

Remove from the pan and add 2 diced onion, 2 chopped carrots and 2 sticks of diced celery. Sweat down. Add minced smoked garlic for a couple of mins.

Then add a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree and cook for a couple of minutes to remove the bitterness.

Add in the meat, a pint of Guinness and enough beef stock to cover, along with lots of rosemary, chopped mushrooms and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Season as needed.

Put a cartouche on top, stick on the oven at 150, and cook for 3 hours until tender. Add some more stock during the cooking process if it dries too much.

Allow to cool completely.

Cut out short crust pastry and line a muffin tray. I used a muffin tray to make several small pies. Fill with the mixture, add a good size chunk of blue cheese on top, then add a pastry lid.

Brush with egg wash and stick in the oven at 180 until pastry is golden brown.
 
Venison lasagne is my favourite. After a tip from a farmer friend I always mince the heart in the lasagne with the ordinary mince (on roe deer heart in a total of a kg of mince) and it makes for a creamier consistency with a lovely flavour. It was her (the farmer’s) secret recipe in her lasagne for years. Her family still don’t know what the secret is.
Thanks for the tip on minced roe heart added to lasagna: never sure what to do with this organ but seems such a shame to waste anything. Roe mince is ace in lasagna anyway!

Epic fail I’m afraid. This was the before picture when I was consulting the absent “chef” daughter (spending Christmas/New Year with her boyfriend, and also avoiding her sole remaining grandfather) but I failed to take a picture of the finished product:

Pan seared muntjac loin steaks fried in butter, oil and garlic, cut into slices, served with roasted crushed new potatoes, fried/steamed cavalo Nero with more garlic, steamed broccoli and a jus I had prepared from the Peli is of the same muntjac, simmered down with vegetables for 6 hours and finished with cranberries and blackberries 🤗 Trust me, it was dammed lovely 😋

Have skinned and butchered my 5th muntjac in a week, I thought sod it, why shouldn’t I 🤗
