Marrinating Venison.

[Guest basil46]

We`re having a bbq for my grandsons second birthday. My daughter in law and i like our venison but Claire suggested marrinating some of the venison for a change.

What do you suggest?? Something not to spicey, no garlic (i can`t stand the stuff) Just something that`s different but won`t spoil a good meat.

Thanks, basil.

this is somthing i tried last christmas..............everbody loved it !!!

 

crush up some fresh cranberrys..............about 1 1/2 hand fulls.........a glass of reasonable quality red wine......and make your marinade......not too runny!!!!

 

put it in a bag with your venison.........pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours( preferably overnight)

 

remove venison and cook......................and you can add some cranberry juice ( carton) to thin the marinade and use it as a stock for some gravy !!!

 

try adding some orange peel to it aswell !!!!!

 

my mouths watering thinking about it !!

 

hope that helps basil

 

all the best sean

Not as elaborate as Sean's but marinated in red wine is a classic venison dish. Cheers, D.

try red wine, crushed Juniper berries, lemon zest and bay leaves.and perhaps some red current jelly or jam to sweeten the sauce later

We love Venison mariated in a traditional Ale. Tastes fantastic, save all the juices for the gravey.

probably had the bbq by now but i'd suggest keeping it simple. Lots of olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh sage, cruched blackpepper, salt.
