Blackberry Braised Red Cabbage With Venison Recipes

VENISON WITH CHANTERELLES IN CREAM SAUCE AND BRAISED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Season the venison filets with Game Seasoning mixture. In a saute pan, over high heat, add oil. Sear venison on both sides until brown.
• In a separate saute pan, heat the Game Sauce. Transfer the venison into heated Game Sauce and continue to cook the meat at a simmer, for about 5 minutes. (This makes for a very flavorful and moist meat). Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 1/2 cup of cream and simmer until thickened. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• In another saute pan, heat the butter. Saute onions until golden in color. Add the chanterelles and saute over high heat until all the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream and parsley. Continue to cook until thickened.
• To serve: slice each fillet in half diagonally and place on serving plate. Serve with Braised Red Cabbage on side and chanterelles on top of fillet. Garnish with minced parsley. Ladle sauce around fillet.
• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients.
• In a saucepan, heat the oil. Saute the bones and meat trimmings until golden brown. Add the carrot, celery, leeks, and parsley stems. Saute another 1 to 2 minutes, until the vegetables are glossy. Stir in the tomato paste. Deglaze with 1 cup red wine and water. Add the bay leaf, juniper berries, and thyme. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Cook for about 2 hours.
• Add the bread, mustard, and orange juice, season with salt and pepper. Strain. Add the red currant jelly.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, brandy, kirsch, sherry, and the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine. Stir until flour is dissolved in the alcohol mixture. Stir into strained sauce and continue to cook until thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• On Day 1, in a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients, sugar, salt, caraway seeds, orange juice, lemon juice, apple vinegar, and grated apple. Stir in the red cabbage and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
• On Day 2, in a saute pan, heat oil and butter. Add the onions and cook until glossy. Add sugar and stir. Cook until sugar is caramelized. Deglaze with apple vinegar and red wine. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cabbage mixture and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes, covered.

VENISON WITH BLACKBERRY WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat shallots, garlic, blackberry jam, and red wine in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup of liquid, about 15 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine mesh sieve and set aside. Heat the beef broth in a separate skillet over medium-high heat until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk the two reduced sauces together, and stir in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the venison steaks until they are beginning to firm, and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Serve the steaks with the sauce and a few fresh blackberries.
