Sunday (Roe)st

[JDay98]

First time Mrs. JDay98 was going to try venison, had to make a good impression. Roasted one of the muscles from the haunch (couldn't tell you which one lol). Browned off on all sides, studded with garlic and rosemary and seasoned, then in to the oven on a bed of veg at gas 7 for 20 mins. Reduced to gas 4 for a further 20 mins, and wrapped in tin foil to rest while I made the gravy. Deglazed with red wine and flambé. Add beef stock and reduce. Pass through a sieve in to a saucepan and add cornstarch slurry to thicken and a knob of butter to give it a nice sheen. Serve with whatever trimmings you fancy. I'll be the first to admit my presentation could use work but it tasted bloody lovely.

Nothing better than roasting what you've shot! Looks like a proper scran there.

Was very nice mate. She was skeptical at first but very willing to try it again. Will probably make a chilli con carne out of the diced meat

Top notch, I have converted a few people who have been put off by the idea of 'gamey' meat/taste. Nicely done there.

Sounds good! Is there room for one more?

It was! Currently mid-decorating the house, so barely enough room for the 3 of us at the moment!

And this was a wonderful accompaniment

My favourite - just don’t overcook it!! Looks fantastic and just think of the brownie points - cooking and decorating! The married woman’s equivalent of a “left and right”! I would get to the nearest gunshop first thing this am cos BPs disappear very, very rapidly………
Well done!

Needed all the brownie points I could get after buying a new larder fridge and chest freezer last month!

I wouldn't worry too much about the presentation..... you've nailed the flavours and that's what its all about.......and of course, the all important and never to be underestimated, brownie points.

If you do it again, add a little finely chopped fennel to mix but discard after the sieving and see what you think.

Looks lovely.

That sounds delicious - this was pretty much just a grab whatever I had at the time type job, but will definitely remember to get some fennel for next time
