I’ve never cooked venison before. I’ve had it in places, liked it a lot, but only today decided it is time to broaden the horizons. Ocado brought me two venison steaks, I flipped through GF mags to see what I could do with them and opted for a porcini mushroom sauce and mash. First cooked the mushrooms, picked in the woods of southern Poland, let them cool and drained the stock. I fried a shallot, added chopped mushrooms, some of the stock and then finished with a mix of the remaining stock+ flour+ double cream+ seasoning, mainly pepper. And a touch of coriander, there was no parsley in the house.<\/p>\n
I fried my steaks, like I would do with beef fillet, then coated them in the sauce and served with mash and tenderstem broccoli.\u00a0 Very much enjoyed the gamey taste of the meat with the mushrooms and pepper, a glass of Argentinian Malbec\u00a0 helped too. Yum.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
