Not only does the meat taste delicious – wild venison has an intense, beefy flavor
PHILIPPINES Restaurant and Wine Bar:
3rd October, 2010
Free-range, low-fat and full of meaty flavour, venison is becoming an ever more popular choice for the British dining table. John Howe, head chef at the Greyhound in Hampshire, who provides this week’s recipes, sources his venison from the Balmoral Estate, “when the Queen is not in residence”.
The deer are culled humanely by marksmen. “Farmed venison is the next best thing,” he says.
Not only does the meat taste delicious – wild venison has an intense, beefy flavour, whereas the farmed version is less gamey – it is incredibly healthy. It is packed with protein and iron and with less fat and cholesterol than lamb, pork or chicken.
Cheaper cuts are coming back into fashion, so why not try a venison haunch steak marinated in gin, juniper, thyme and garlic? It is as tasty eaten as loin or as a deeply savoury ragout. The Greyhound Warm salad of Balmoral venison loin, Black figs, Crisp Prosciutto, raspberry vinaigrette
Serves 4
- 350g trimmed venison loin
- Salt
- Cracked black pepper
- Olive oil for cooking
- 50g unsalted butter
- 4 black figs
- 4 slices prosciutto
- Mixed leaves for salad garnish
- 8 fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp raspberry vinegar
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 1tbsp clear honey
- 4 basil leaves, finely sliced
1 Cut each slice of prosciutto into four pieces and lay between two sheets of greaseproof paper. Bake between two flat baking trays for 16 minutes at 200C, then remove and drain on kitchen paper.
2 Season venison loin with salt and black pepper. Heat a non-stick pan and add olive oil, then the venison loin, and colour on all sides. Add butter to the pan and place in a hot oven, 200C for four minutes.
3 Remove from the oven, baste, and rest the meat on a plate for at least 10 minutes. The meat is intended to be served warm.
For the vinaigrette:
Place the raspberries, vinegar and honey in a bowl and whisk to break down the fruit slightly. Slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking, season with salt, pepper and the sliced basil.
For the plate:
Cut each fig into quarters. Dress the salad leaves with a little vinaigrette and slice the venison into 20 thin slices. Arrange the venison in the centre of the plate, top with a little salad. Place the figs around the plate, topped with crisp prosciutto, and finish with a drizzle of vinaigrette around the plate.

Ragout
