Spiced Venison With Parsnip Puree And Parsley Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the egg yolks, chile paste, and salt. Rub on the venison loin and marinate, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
• Remove venison from marinade and coat with spice crumb mixture. Heat olive oil in pan. Sear presentation side of venison, then flip, and place in oven for 10 minutes. Slice to serve.

Steps:

• For the bangers: Combine the venison, pork fatback, breadcrumbs, chicken stock, red wine, salt, black pepper, mace and sage in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium speed until well incorporated. Using a sausage-stuffer attachment, stuff the sausage meat into the hog casings.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Sear the bangers on both sides in a hot saute pan with a little canola oil until cooked through and the juices run clear when the bangers are poked with a skewer, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and place in the oven to hold.
• For the pan sauce: Deglaze the pan with the brewed coffee. Add the chicken stock and the pistachios and reduce by half. Whisk in the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• For the parsnip cocoa nib mash: Combine the parsnips, 4 ounces (1 stick) of the butter and the onions in a saucepan over medium to medium-low heat. Cook until the parsnips are soft enough to puree, about 20 minutes.
• In another pot, combine the heavy cream and cocoa nibs and cook on low heat until the flavor of cocoa is in the cream, about 20 minutes. Strain and set aside.
• In a food processor, combine the parsnips and onions, half of the cream mixture and the remaining 4 ounces (1 stick) of butter and puree. If the mixture is too dry, add more of the cream mixture slowly to achieve the desired consistency; you will likely add an additional 1/4 cup of the mixture.
• On each plate, place the bangers over a dollop of the parsnip mash and pour the pan sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Debone the venison saddle by following the bones carefully. Trim the membrane and nerve from venison loin, and reserve the loin for roasting. Reserve the bones (chop them up) and trimmings for the sauce poivrade. Reserve the tenderloins for another use.
• To make the sauce poivrade:
• In a large bowl, combine the reserved chopped bones and trimmings, wine, vinegar, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns, and juniper berries. Let the bones marinate for at least 24 hours.
• Strain the marinade through a colander into a mixing bowl, reserving both the marinade and bones and vegetables. Let the marinade stand for about 5 minutes. Separate the bones from the vegetables.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over high heat. Add the bones from the marinade and cook until they've caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the vegetables from the marinade. Cook to develop a nice brown color, another 10 minutes. Add sugar to the pan and let caramelize. Pour in the wine marinade and stir and scrape the pan drippings to deglaze. Boil and let reduce by two-thirds. Add enough veal stock to cover. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, skimming the surface often. Strain through a fine chinois into a saucepan. Simmer and skim. Let the sauce reduce until a coating consistency is achieved. If desired, add the cream to finish the sauce.
• To make the roasted venison:
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a large pan or roasting pan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. When hot, sear each side of the venison loin until a light color is achieved. Roast the venison for about 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest for about 5 minutes and slice into medallions.
• To make the parsnip puree:
• Boil the parsnip in boiling water until it's tender. Strain. Add the butter, cream, salt, and pepper. Puree in a food possessor.
• To serve:
• In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and add the shallots. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the mustard greens, if using, along with 2 cups each of the cooked farro and quinoa. Stir to combine and heat through. Add the pumpkin soup to bind the mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the mixture in the individual molds and pack to tighten. Place the molds on each plate and push through to position in desired location.
• Place 2 medallions of venison on each plate, along with the parsnip puree and grains. Add the released juices from the meat to the sauce poivrade and bring to a boil. Sauce the venison and serve.
• Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the quinoa. Reduce the heat and simmer until the quinoa opens up revealing a little spiral and is soft and pleasant to chew, about 20 minutes. If there is any remaining liquid, drain it. Drizzle the quinoa with a few splashes of olive oil and set aside.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add the farro and cook for 2 minutes to toast, and then add the wine. Simmer, stirring frequently, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and then the chicken broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently and simmering until the liquid is absorbed and the farro is just tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
