DEER PAN SAUSAGE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak the casings overnight.
• If you are grinding your own meat you will have to make sure the meat is very cold before grinding it.
• (you will have to grind the venison and pork fat in a sausage grinder or have your butcher do this for you,.)
• In a large bowl add all the ingredients garlic, paprika, salt, red wine, fennel, etc, and mix together until well blended.
• Set up the sausage maker with casing and stuff the sausage into the casings twisting every 4 inches for links.
• Note: be careful not to overstuff or it will pop open.
• We like to refrigerate this overnight for more intense flavors to meld together.
• BaKed Venison Sausage Instructions
• In a large roasting pan, add the olive oil to the bottom of the pan.
• Note: for easy cleanup line with foil or parchment paper
• Place the roll of venison sausage on the bottom.
• Top with onion, garlic, peppers, and potato wedges ( add the breadcrumbs and grated cheese if using on the potatoes).
• Sprinkle with the herbs.
• Drizzle with a little or oil spray with olive oil over the top.
• Pour the white wine around the bottom of the sausage.
• Bake in a preheated oven of 400 degrees for around 45 to 60 minutes or until it browns nicely on top and potatoes are cooked.

Steps:

• Season chicken thighs generously with Old Bay the night before.
• Use high heat to preheat the pot and add the sausage. With a large spoon, constantly move the sausage from the bottom of the pot. Brown the sausage but be careful not to burn the meat; remove sausage.
• Using excess sausage drippings, brown the chicken on all sides (you may need to add some oil to pan to sauté). Again use the spoon to scrape the meat from sticking and burning to the bottom of the pot. Be careful not to over cook the thigh meat to the point that it shreds; remove thighs.
• Add Italian sausage and start to brown adding onions and bell peppers when sausage is halfway browned. (You may need to add a little oil again).
• Add red, black and white peppers to mixture and cook until veggies are translucent, about 5-7 minutes over medium-high heat. Again use the spoon to scrape the meat from sticking and burning to the bottom of the pot.
• Add the ham and garlic and cook for another minute stirring and scraping bottom of pot to not scorch garlic. Add the remaining Old Bay seasoning, thyme, basil and bay leaves; stir. Return chicken and sausage to pot; mix and fold. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes. This will give the seasonings time to release their oils and flavors.
• Add beer to deglaze pan scraping about 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the rice and fold in. Return to a slow boil and cook uncovered for about 5 minutes stirring and scraping pan bottom so rice does not stick and burn to pan bottom; mix in parsley. Reduce heat to the lowest possible setting and simmer, covered, for at least 30-35 minutes. Do not remove the cover while the rice is steaming.
• After uncovering there may be some liquid remaining on top. Fold the rice in (DO NOT STIR). Turn off heat and let stand till liquid is absorbed. Remove bay leaves. Enjoy!
