Instructions:

Venison ragout With earth apple, chestnuts, red wine shallot pumpkin gratin.

Please remember when planning: the venison must be marinated for at least twelve hours before the actual preparation, so don’t start with the ragout on the day of the feast….

Rinse the venison thoroughly, pat dry and skin if necessary. Cut into bite-sized cubes and place in a stone bowl. Clean, rinse and finely dice the greens. Remove the skin from the garlic clove and quarter it. Lightly crush the juniper berries and peppercorns in a mortar. Mix them with the greens, garlic, rosemary and thyme. Stir half of the red wine with two tablespoons of brandy or possibly cognac and the oil. Pour it over the meat, cover and let it stand for one night.

Peel the shallots. Lift the meat out of the marinade and dry it thoroughly with kitchen paper, removing all spices and vegetables. Pour the marinade through a sieve, heartily squeezing out the contents of the sieve, and set aside.

In a casserole, heat the clarified butter. Pour in the shallots and roast over low heat until soft all around. Then remove them. Add the meat to the fat and cook for about 15 minutes, turning frequently. Then take it out, season with salt and pepper.

Fry the contents of the sieve in the fat. Mix with the marinade, the rest of the wine and the venison.
