MAPLE-ROASTED RACK OF VENISON



Maple-Roasted Rack of Venison image

At a cabane à sucre, or sugar shack, a rough-hewn cabin for making syrup in Quebec, the syrup harvest is accompanied by a feast. The hourlong parade usually includes split-pea soup, pancakes, bacon and ham, pork rinds, omelets, eggs poached in syrup, baked beans, bread and pan drippings, pickled carrots and beets, maple-syrup pie and taffy - all washed down with an optional beer. This recipe comes from a feast held at the painter Marc Séguin's farm in Hemmingford, Quebec.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 4-pound rack of venison, trimmed (see note)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
2 1/2 cups veal stock (see note)
6 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
8 peppercorns
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons butter
5 large carrots, peeled and chopped
20 small boiler onions, peeled

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season venison generously with salt and pepper, rub with a little olive oil and let rest at room temperature. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, veal stock, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and garlic. Gently boil until reduced by half.
  • Set a roasting pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. When hot, brown the rack on all sides, then transfer to a plate. Pour the maple-stock reduction into the roasting pan, scraping the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Return the rack to the pan, meat-side up. Add the carrots and onions and season them with salt. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes, basting venison with sauce every 5 minutes. Flip venison and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 130 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes more (start checking the internal temperature after 10 minutes).
  • Transfer rack to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. If vegetables are fork-tender, transfer them to a serving platter. If not, put them in a saucepan. Strain the sauce into the saucepan and simmer until reduced to desired thickness or until the vegetables are tender. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the venison and serve with vegetables and sauce.

ROAST RACK OF VENISON



Roast Rack of Venison image

Venison is a delicacy, virtually no fat content, and thanks to farm-raised deer, you don't have to wait for hunting season to enjoy. It is very expensive to purchase, but on special occasions, you are worth it. I have prepared this venison recipe for Christmas dinners, and for my birthday dinners several times. If you were to consider the cost of restaurant fare for a birthday dinner, venison purchase is not prohibitive; and after all that wine and champagne, you don't have to drive home. I came upon this recipe in the supplement of "Winter, 1988 issue of Toronto Life Epicure" in which was featured Season's Best Festive Menus, both simple and elaborate. it is the best supplement I have ever seen, and guard it jealously, with my collection of cook books and "found" recipes. Prep. time includes the marinating process. Serve venison with Recipe #63146, Recipe #63147, and Recipe #63148. Wine suggestion: an earthy red Rhone followed by champagne with dessert.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON



Roasted Rack of Venison image

This is based on a recipe from the book, Venison, Recipes from the Readers of Sports Afield, a book my DH and I purchased recently at LL Beans in Freeport, Maine. Henry Sinkus, its editor says, "Simple and elegant, serve with fresh vegetables and steamed potatoes." Even in Maine this isn't a cheap dish -- we serve it around the holidays.
