Cured Venison ‘On the Bone’

Cured Venison ‘On the Bone’

5 minutes, plus chilling time prep, 10 minutes cook

Serves 4

Ingredients

300g venison loin (barrel cut)

50g Dijon mustard

30g crushed black pepper

Sea salt

For the dressing:

250ml rapeseed oil

50ml white wine vinegar

15ml light soy sauce

100ml honey

100ml truffle oil

3 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped

To serve:

Parmesan shavings

Capers

Watercress

Method

Seal the venison loin in a very hot pan for 3 minutes until evenly browned all over.

Coat the meat with the mustard and black pepper, then wrap very tightly in cling film and chill for 1 hour.

For the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until emulsified, then season.

To serve, slice the venison very thinly with a sharp knife and place onto your chosen serving dish.

We use a polished shoulder bone for an added bit of theatre, but a nice plate or wooden board will do just as well.

Garnish with a piece of shaved Parmesan, capers, watercress and a sprinkle of sea salt.
