Looking for some creative recipe ideas. I’ve made tacos, stews, stroganoff. I cooked the bones down into a gelatinous broth and still have a few jars left.
Venison stew is my favorite. Even better if you smoke the venison first. Go with a lighter smoke though unless you want “smoke stew.” Apple is a good bet but pecan is also good with venison imo and isn’t overpowering.
Here is a good one I make all the time Trust me you will love it, and it will leave you feeling great!
-
Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and red chilli and cook for a few minutes.
-
Grind the cumin, coriander and mustard seeds lightly in a pestle and mortar, then add to the pan, along with the turmeric and garam masala and cook for 1 minute.
-
Add the lentils, tomatoes with their juice, coconut milk and broth/stock, then stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and cook on a medium/low heat for 15-20 minutes until reduced and thick. If you have time, you can leave it a little longer on a very low heat for even more flavor (just stir often and check it doesn’t scorch on the bottom of the pan).Taste and add more chilli if desired.
-
Stir in the lemon juice and spinach until it wilts. Serve warm with rice, naan bread or poppadoms.

I make a big pot of either lentils or chick peas with this type of recipe about every 2 weeks. I also kill a small deer every 2 years and it is the basis of 90% or more of my meat consumption and I use or my dogs use as much as I can possible use from the animal from it’s bones to its hide. :)
Oh fuck it’s just a small deer and you’re using the bones?
I’m sorry man this whole time I thought it was a big deer and you were wasting the bones.
My bad carry on
You’re talking about deer and not some other venison right?
get 3 yellow onions, some potatoes, carrots, olive oil. chop the venison into small cubes, brown in a large dutch oven with olive oil. Remove the venison and then cook the chopped onions cook till tender. Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and cook for a minute. Slowly added 3 cups of water while scrapping up the good stuff on the bottom of the pan. put a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, teaspoon of dried oregano, teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of pepper. bring to boil and let simmer for 2 hrs. cubed potatoes and carrot slices and cook for 45 min. mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water and mix into stew . Bring to boil and cook till thickened. Serve hot.
