PRODUCTION PROCESS

Preparing and cooking meat:

  • Gently pound the venison loin with a meat mallet, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a pan, add the marinated meat and fry on all sides.
  • Transfer the fried meat to a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 210 °C until the meat reaches the desired level of doneness.
  • Let the cooked meat rest for 5-10 minutes (before cutting).

Making the sauce:

  • Fry the chopped onion with olive oil.
  • Add wine, orange juice, sugar and mix.
  • Heat over low heat until the sauce thickens, taking on a richer flavor.
  • Add salt. If you need a thicker sauce, add cornstarch mixed with cold water and stir until desired consistency.

Preparing vegetables:

  • Fry the young carrots in a pan with butter and salt until soft and lightly browned.
  • We prepare potatoes in the way we choose – boil, bake, or mash.

Chickpea cream (hummus):

  • Drain the liquid from the chickpeas and place them in a blender.
  • Add olive oil, lemon juice, sesame paste, salt and pepper.
  • Blend everything until smooth.

DELIVERY

Place the chickpea cream on a plate, place the carrots and potatoes next to it. Slice the meat and place it next to the vegetables. Drizzle everything with the red wine sauce.

Wine recommendations

  • For the sauce dry red wine is best, for example, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah .
  • With the dish We recommend choosing a red wine that is not too heavy , for example, Pinot Noir, Malbec or Syrah – they will go perfectly with the rich flavor of venison.
