Venison Madras Recipes

Steps:

• To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients for it with some salt in a bowl, add the venison and stir to coat, then cover and place in the fridge overnight.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spread the venison out on a baking tray lined with parchment and roast for 30-35 mins, stirring halfway through if needed, until the meat has lots of colour. If the meat is releasing too many juices, spoon some of them off halfway. Reduce the oven to 170C/150C/gas 3.
• While the venison is cooking, heat the butter in a large casserole dish and fry the onions for 15 mins over a medium heat until golden brown, then add the garlic and cook for a few mins more. Stir in the spice paste and fry for 5 mins, then add the stock and tomatoes and crumble in the creamed coconut along with the curry leaves. Bring to the boil, add the venison to the dish and stir to coat in the curry sauce. Season with salt, then cover and cook in the oven for 2 hrs-2 hrs 30 mins until the sauce has thickened and the meat is tender. Chill for up to three days and reheat before serving, or freeze for up to three months. Serve with fluffy rice, a dollop of yogurt and some sliced green chilli.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl, or use tightly covered Tupperware and shake to mix.
• (Madras curry often comes with whole bay leaves in the jar. Don't use these in the marinade!) Adjust the amounts of curry powder and orange juice to suit your personal taste.
• Goes well with chicken, pork, or shrimp.
• The longer the meat soaks in the marinade, the stronger the flavor will be.
• Poking holes in the meat with a fork will also help the flavor soak into the meat.
• Works well on the grill, in the oven, or under the broiler.

Steps:

• Brown the venison in the EVOO and toss in the garlic, onion & jalapeno until the onion is clear. If using a slow cooker transfer now and add remaining ingredients except corn. Set on low and simmer 2 hours or longer if desired. About 30 minutes before serving, add bag of frozen corn and allow chili to return to hot. The corn will be perfectly cooked and still sweet, a great compliment to the heat of this chili.
