INSTRUCTIONS
PARSNIP PUR.E
TO GARNISH
First make the parnsip pur.e: Boil the chopped parsnips until totally soft,
strain them through a colander and press to remove any excess water. Heat
the cream and butter then pur.e the parsnips with these in a food
processor, seson to taste and set aside.
Heat the groundnut oil, season the venison then sear and brown on all sides
for 2 minutes. Pour off the oil and add the butter, colour gently for a
further 2 minutes not allowing the butter to go past golden brown. Place
into the preheated oven for a further 5 minutes then remove the venison
from the pan and set aside in a warm place to rest.
Add the diced vegetables to the pan and caramelise for 2-3 minutes, pour
the red wine and port into the pan and reduce by 2/3, add the stock and
reduce by half then finish with the chocolate, salt and plenty of black
pepper.
Carve the venison then serve on top of the parsnip pur.e with the sauce and
garnish around.
