VENISON WITH CHANTERELLES IN CREAM SAUCE AND BRAISED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Season the venison filets with Game Seasoning mixture. In a saute pan, over high heat, add oil. Sear venison on both sides until brown.
• In a separate saute pan, heat the Game Sauce. Transfer the venison into heated Game Sauce and continue to cook the meat at a simmer, for about 5 minutes. (This makes for a very flavorful and moist meat). Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 1/2 cup of cream and simmer until thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• In another saute pan, heat the butter. Saute onions until golden in color. Add the chanterelles and saute over high heat until all the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream and parsley. Continue to cook until thickened.
• To serve: slice each fillet in half diagonally and place on serving plate. Serve with Braised Red Cabbage on side and chanterelles on top of fillet. Garnish with minced parsley. Ladle sauce around fillet.
• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients.
• In a saucepan, heat the oil. Saute the bones and meat trimmings until golden brown. Add the carrot, celery, leeks, and parsley stems. Saute another 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables are glossy. Stir in the tomato paste. Deglaze with 1 cup red wine and water. Add the bay leaf, juniper berries, and thyme. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook for about 2 hours.
• Add the bread, mustard, and orange juice, season with salt and pepper. Strain. Add the red currant jelly.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, brandy, kirsch, sherry, and the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine. Stir until flour is dissolved in the alcohol mixture. Stir into strained sauce and continue to cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• On Day 1, in a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients, sugar, salt, caraway seeds, orange juice, lemon juice, apple vinegar, and grated apple. Stir in the red cabbage and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• On Day 2, in a saute pan, heat oil and butter. Add the onions and cook until glossy. Add sugar and stir. Cook until sugar is caramelized. Deglaze with apple vinegar and red wine. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cabbage mixture and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes, covered.

• Increase the heat to medium-high, add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 8 minutes. Add the apple, broth, vinegar, sugar, the remaining salt, and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 1 hour.
• Uncover; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the liquid has reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

RED CABBAGE CABERNET SAUVIGNON SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, over medium heat add olive oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the shallots. Stir for 1 minute. While stirring, add the red cabbage. Prepare a mixture of the duck stock and cornstarch, and add this mixture to the cabbage. Continue stirring until the sauce begins to boil, then add the salt and sugar. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped shallots and lemon juice. Finish by adding the cabernet sauvignon to the sauce.
• Transfer the red cabbage sauce into the center of a serving plate, topping it with the sliced duck. Garnish around the duck with potatoes. In between each potato place steamed carrots, string beans, broccoli and zucchini. Finally, add several pieces of gold leaf on top of the duck. (Eat gold for a long life.)

BLACKBERRY BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH VENISON

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook slowly for 10 mins until really soft. Add the cabbage, vinegar, sugar, mixed spice and half the jelly along with 100ml water, then season. Bring to the boil, stir, then cover with a lid. Cook for 40 mins over a medium-low heat. Meanwhile, remove the venison from the fridge to come to room temperature.
• Add the blackberries and crème de mure or crème de cassis, if using, to the cabbage mixture. Continue cooking, uncovered, for 5-10 mins until the liquid has evaporated and the blackberries have broken down slightly.
• Heat a frying pan until hot. Rub the venison steaks with the oil, then season. Cook in the hot pan for 4-5 mins on each side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare. In the final 1 min of cooking, add the remaining jelly to the pan and spoon it over the steaks as it melts. Remove the steaks from the pan and leave to rest. Serve the cabbage and venison with mashed potato.

SUCCULENT BRAISED VENISON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the vegetables in a little oil and butter in a heavy-based casserole for 4-5 mins until golden. Tip in the garlic and fry for a further min, then set aside.
• Put the venison into a plastic bag with seasoned flour and shake to coat. Add a little more oil and butter to the pan, then fry the venison over a high heat, stirring now and then, until well browned. Don't crowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary. Set aside with the vegetables.
• Add the redcurrant jelly and wine to the pan, and bring to the boil, scraping up all the bits that have stuck to the bottom. Pour in the stock, then add the thyme, bay leaf, meat and vegetables. Season if you like and bring to the boil. Cover and transfer to the oven for about 1½ hrs or until tender. Remove from the oven and check the seasoning.
