VENISON PIE | JAMIE OLIVER RECIPES



Venison pie | Jamie Oliver recipes image

This is a beautiful pie and the kind of dish that makes me dream of good home cooking. The venison will cook to be delicious, tender and sumptuous. After all these years of cooking, a meal like this still gets my pulse racing. For a bit of a treat, use 500g of pastry and line the bottom of the pie dish - just make sure you cook it at the bottom of the oven so the pastry has a chance to crisp up.

Total Time 4 hours 15 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

olive oil
3 medium red onions
3 cloves of garlic
2 carrots
2 sticks of celery
1 knob of butter
4 field mushrooms
1 kg quality stewing venison
a few sprigs of fresh rosemary
5-6 juniper berries
a few fresh bay leaves
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
500 ml ale preferably Scottish
1 heaped tablespoon plain flour plus extra for dusting
350 g ready-made all-butter puff pastry
1 large free-range egg

Steps:

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
    2. Heat a lug of olive oil in a large ovenproof pan on a low heat. Peel and slice the onions and fry gently for about 10 minutes until nice and sweet. Don’t let them colour too much.
    3. Meanwhile, peel and chop the garlic and carrots, and trim and chop the celery.
    4. Turn the heat up, then add the butter, garlic, carrot and celery. Peel, roughly tear up and add the mushrooms. Mix everything together.
    5. Cut the venison into 2cm cubes, pick and chop the rosemary leaves and bash the juniper berries in a pestle and mortar. Stir in the venison, rosemary, bashed-up juniper berries and bay leaves. Pick in the thyme leaves and add a pinch of sea salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
    6. Fry everything quickly for 3 or 4 minutes, then pour in the ale. Stir in the flour and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer, pop the lid on and place in the oven for about 2½ hours, giving it a stir from time to time.
    7. The perfect pie filling should have tender meat in a rich, dark, thick stew. So if, when you remove it from the oven, it’s still quite liquidy, place the pan on the hob and reduce for 15 minutes or so until it thickens up a bit.
    8. Evenly roll out the pastry on a floured surface until it is the thickness of a pound coin. Tip the stew in the pie dish and place the pastry on top of the pie.
    9. Criss-cross the top of the pastry lightly with a sharp knife. Brush the top with beaten egg.
    10. Pop the pie on the bottom shelf of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the pastry is well cooked, puffed-up and golden – then tuck in and enjoy!

ONE POT PARTRIDGE WITH BACON AND CHESTNUTS RECIPE - BBC FO…



One pot partridge with bacon and chestnuts recipe - BBC Fo… image

A long slow braise on the hob ensures your partridges will be tender and succulent. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes.

Provided by The Hairy Bikers

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tbsp juniper berries
4 oven-ready partridges
salt and freshly ground black pepper
25g/1oz butter
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 medium onion, finely sliced
4 rashers rindless streaky bacon, cut into 2cm/1in slices
3-4 bushy sprigs fresh thyme
2 tbsp plain flour
5 tbsp dry gin
100ml/3½fl oz orange juice (about 1 large orange)
200ml/7fl oz red wine
350ml/12fl oz chicken stock, fresh or made with 1 stock cube
2 tbsp cranberry sauce or redcurrant jelly
2 tsp finely grated orange zest
200g/7oz cooked and peeled chestnuts, halved
½ medium Savoy cabbage, tough outer leaves removed

Steps:

  • Put the juniper seeds in a pestle and mortar and pound until roughly crushed. Sprinkle the juniper seeds over all the partridges, pressing lightly into the skin, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Melt the butter with the oil in a large flame-proof casserole or your largest saucepan over a medium heat. Add the partridges to the casserole, breast-side down, and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until nicely browned. Turn and fry on each of the remaining three sides for a further minute until browned all over. Remove from the casserole and put on a plate.
  • Reduce the heat and add the onion, bacon and thyme to the casserole. Fry gently for 5-6 minutes, or until the onions are softened and the bacon is beginning to brown, stirring regularly.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the pan and stir well. Cook for about five minutes, then add the gin and orange juice and bubble for a few seconds before slowly stirring in the wine and chicken stock. Spoon the cranberry sauce or redcurrant jelly on top, stir in the orange zest and chestnuts and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Gently return the partridges to the pan and cover with a lid. Cook over a low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the cabbage into four wedges and remove the tough central core. Remove the casserole from the heat and turn the partridges over. Nestle the cabbage between the birds, cover and continue to cook for a further 30-40 minutes, or until the birds are very tender, the cabbage has softened and the sauce has thickened. Pick out the thyme stalks and adjust the seasoning to taste.
