Venison Meatballs With Creamy Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Gently cook the onion and garlic in 1 tbsp oil until really soft. Cool for 10 mins, then tip into a big bowl with the finely chopped dill, 1 tbsp of the wholegrain mustard, the venison, breadcrumbs and egg with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Squelch together with your hands, squeezing the mince well to tenderise it as you mix.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan or sauté pan and fry the meatballs in small batches until well browned - add a splash more oil if needed towards the end. Set aside the meatballs in a dish.
• Add the butter to the pan and fry the mushrooms over a very high heat until the juices have evaporated and the mushrooms are turning golden. Lower the heat and stir in the paprika and flour for 1 min.
• Stir in the stock and brandy, and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits stuck in the pan. Lift out the mushrooms with a slotted spoon to a dish. Boil the sauce for 3 mins, then stir in the remaining 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard, the Dijon mustard, tomato purée and soured cream. Simmer the sauce until it has reduced again and is a good consistency - anything up to 15 mins depending on your pan. Return the meatballs and any juice and simmer gently until they are cooked through. Stir in the mushrooms to warm through, and season to taste, plus a pinch of sugar if needed. Scatter with the remaining dill and eat with buttered tagliatelle, rice or sautéed potatoes.

Steps:

• Put venison into mixing bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in saucepan and add garlic and half of onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add onion mixture to venison. Add bread crumbs, salt, pepper, parsley, egg, cumin and coriander. Mix.
• Shape into 20 balls of more or less equal size. Heat 2 remaining tablespoons of butter in skillet and add meatballs. Cook, stirring gently and turning to allow meatballs to brown evenly, 10 minutes. Transfer to dish.
• To skillet add remaining onions and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add paprika and thyme and stir to blend. Add broth and wine and bring to boil. Add cream and stir. Return meatballs to skillet with sauce and cover. Cook about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble venison over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over meatballs., Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top.
• Combine ground venison, Italian sausage, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, Italian seasoning, red pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Scoop meat from the bowl and form into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place meatballs on top of the cooling rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked though, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
