Being Adventurous in the Kitchen…

Specifically, don't be shy about trying new types of meat & game!  I recently had the chance to try some wild venison, and wow, was it delish!

I did a 24 hour marinade in a full-bodied wine (the alcohol will evaporate during cooking), bay leaves, garlic, juniper berries, beet root, nutmeg and beef broth… 

I seared the meat the next day and then added the marinade back in and let it simmer for 90 minutes…  it was tender, juicy and so different! 

Ask the local butcher for what they might be able to sell you, other than the usual weekly fare; you'll be glad you did!
