Roasted Elk Tenderloin With Bacon Wrapped Salsify Jerusalem Artichokes And Creamy Wild Mushroom Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the rabbit on the grill until cooked through.
• Cook the garlic and onion in the olive oil in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add the chicken stock, tomato sauce, almonds, hazelnuts, herbes de Provence, paprika, rabbit livers, tomatoes, bay leaf, bread, salt and pepper. Let simmer for 15 minutes. Blend it all together and serve with the rabbit.

Steps:

• Rub the elk roast with salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 25 minutes per pound, or until the thermometer registers 140 degrees. While the elk is roasting, periodically, baste the roast with the rendered duck fat to maintain the moisture. Let roast cook until an inserted meat thermometer reads 155 degrees. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it is golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease and add the artichoke hearts. Cook over medium heat until they are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the canola oil, then the garlic and chile flakes. Saute until the garlic is fragrant, another minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Trim the lavash as necessary to fit on a sheet tray and spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the top. Top with artichokes and bacon and bake until the cheese is melted and the lavash has crisped at the edges, about 10 minutes.
• Toss the arugula with olive oil and the remaining tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the flatbread with olive oil, then top with arugula and cut into slices.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven and an appropriately sized roasting tray to 425 to 450 degrees. Boil your potatoes in salted water until perfectly cooked (don't overcook). Drain and allow to cool. Remove any fat from inside the chicken cavity. Wash and pat dry with kitchen paper. Slice your potatoes thickly, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, add your freshly torn herbs and enough olive oil just to coat. Toss over and then stuff your chickens with the potatoes. Place them into the tray with about 12 cloves of garlic and cook for 30 minutes. After this time the chicken should be looking as handsome as its inventor and the skin should be crisp and golden.
• At this point lay your streaky bacon snugly over the breast meat and add a 1/2 cup of wine to the pan to get some sticky marmitey juices happening. Cook for another 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven. Take them out of the tray and allow them to rest for 5 minutes while you make a quick bit of gravy. I normally remove as much fat as possible from the tray before placing on gentle heat. Splash the remaining 1 cup of white wine into it. Then boil up and scrape away all the goodness from the sides of the tray. Simmer this for a couple of minutes until tasty. It's not a thick, robust gravy, just a tasty gesture. (Another nice option at this point is to add a little cream to the gravy which works really well.) Served with something nice and green like steamed spinach and the potatoes pulled out from the chickens.
