I make what I call Hunter Gatherer Pie when I have venison mince. Haven't made it for ages but remember that last time I used blackcurrant jam instead of the redcurrant jelly and decided it was magic!
Hunter Gatherer Pie
1.5k Venison – coarsely minced
1 onion
1 carrot
1 stem of celery
Olive oil
350gms of thick bacon
Red wine
Beef stock (1 pottle of Continental jellied stock)
Redcurrant jelly (or crab apple – it needs to be tart)
2 Tbs of flour
Wild Thyme
12 Juniper Berries – squashed and chopped
A good grinding of black pepper
400gms of mixed wild mushrooms or small Swiss brown
Butter
Garlic
Creamy Mash with Seedy Mustard (Condimentum of course!) and It parsley
A cup of full cream milk
150gms butter
Dice the onion, carrot and celery and cook in olive oil until softened and beginning to caramelise. (Have 2 pans one to cook and brown in and one on a gentler heat to transfer into.) Put the softened vegetables into second pan.
Slice the bacon and sauté till fat runs. Put it in with the veg.
Brown the coarsely minced venison in the bacon fat, in several batches, adding oil when you need to. If it releases a lot of moisture, drive the moisture off until it sizzles in the pan again. Transfer as you go into second (bigger) pan. Put first pan aside for cooking the mushrooms later.
Turn heat up in second pan and stir everything together, adding pottle of stock, redcurrant jelly, flour, thyme, Juniper berries, ground black pepper, then add ½ bottle of red wine (full bodied but not too sweet!) simmer gently for 20 min to half an hour stirring regularly and adding a little boiling water if/when necessary.
Saute a fat clove of garlic or two in butter then turn up heat and sauté the mushrooms until cooked and shiny. Taste the venison mixture for seasoning and adjust – incorporate the mushrooms and put into dish in which it will be served. Top with a lump free creamy mash. I use Agria potatoes. Full cream milk and a generous amount of butter. Beat in 2 tablespoons of Seedy Mustard and ½ cup of finely chopped Italian Parsley.
Brush top with a little melted butter and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until top is gilded.
Ideally this would be served in individual pie dishes with Brussels Sprouts or green beans or spinach. Or a simple composed salad of Cos lettuce.
