The appetizer I make every now and then is venison, with chipotle raspberry sauce and goat cheese on a cracker. Sauté medallions of venison and put them on the cracker, then the raspberry and top with goat cheese. It’s a one bite appetizer.
Delicious unexpected combo.
My husband would love that! He hasn’t had venison since his Dad died a few years ago - Dad Would send us every year some of what he shot. (He’d also pack into a box the first few home-grown tomatoes that he had in July, and mail them to us ;-)
On years when Beau gets a bear, like THIS year (534#!) I use thin strips of bear steak and a strip of bacon, layered. Then I roll them up (bacon on the outside) and secure with a toothpick.
Then I put them in a pan and drizzle them with olive oil. Bake them (350 degrees) with a sprinkling of brown sugar and cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika.
Yogi Bear Appetizers. ;)
It would work with venison, too!
