Instructions

Venison loin: Season in salt and pepper. Seal the venison on the hob by coating it in olive oil and cooking for 2 minutes on each side, and then place in an oven 190oc for 6 minutes. Rest for 4 minutes. The loin will slice medium rare when cooked this way – cook longer in the oven for different preferences.

Fondant Potato: Cut a potato into a rectangle or use a cutter for the traditional cylinder shape. In a pan, sear the outside of the potato in oil and butter until seared on all sides. Place the potato into a tray with stock and butter until completely covered. Add fresh thyme and rosemary with 4 garlic cloves for seasoning. Cover in foil and cook for 20 mins @ 190oc.

Sauce: In a pan add 250ml red wine, ½ punnet blackberries and ½ punnet raspberries, then simmer for 10 minutes. Add 2 x tbsp of honey to the stock syrup and reduce by half. Add this syrup to the pan you used to seal the venison to deglaze the pan and soak up the venison flavour, reduce until thick.

And voila! Place your venison and fondant potato on a plate and drizzle on your delicious, rich berry jus. Feel free to add vegetables to this dish to make it more healthy – our chef added broccoli and brussel sprouts to his most recent creation!
