Shredded Venison shank

[devon deer]

Hi All,
This is a very tasty dish, slow cook a venison shank until the meat falls of the bone, then shred it all up with a fork, slowly cook some thin sliced onions in butter until soft, then add tablespoon worcester sauce, teaspoon tomato puree, 1/2 teaspoon marmite, and 1 tablespoon sugar to caramelise the onions, then mix in the meat, pack the mixture tightly into a mould, i then let it cool and reheat in microwave or use straight away.
I also poach an egg for the top, also a spoon of mango chutney and a slice of bread, in the picture its focaccia.
Yumee!
Cheers
Richard

Where's the bbq sauce? And beer? And your Aunt's prescription pills?

Looks beautiful. I'm quite sure you lost almost everyone here with the "marmite" inclusion as its not used here in the states. . I do know what it is, and I'm quite sure I would leave it off, even in this small amount!!! (not my cup-of-tea!!)

And your Aunt's prescription pills?

Here she is on her pills.

Kansas Dad, i didnt know that about marmite, i only use it in small quantities, otherwise like you i cant stand the stuff!
In fact that is how they market it in the UK, you either like it or hate it.

Cheers

devon deer, your dish looks great! I spent some time in the late 80s in the north of England on some military bases . Sure could have used someone with you talent ,as i remember 3 meals a day of boiled mutton,caned beans,and boiled new potatoes.

 

[devon deer]

Spook, boiled mutton, that sounds yuk!
Things have moved on a bit since the 80's
Did you get any hunting done when you were over here?
Cheers

Marmite is NOT an acquired taste, but I still keep it around for my toast occasionally just to remind myself of happier times in far away places.

devon deer, no hunting . I spent some time with some of your special forces,and saw on several occasions what they called''THE QUEENS DEER''. They were much smaller than our southern whitetails. Wish i had inquired more ,seems like a lifetime ago.

If you spent time with the SAS was it on there base at Hereford?
They do a lot of training in the brecon beacons.

Like these Queen deer

devon deer ,i thought about this all day. If i remember correct the deer i saw seemed smaller. They were lighter in color and the females had spots,or light markings on the hind quarters.the males had much smaller antlers than the vid you posted,they looked like an elks antlers only MUCH smaller. I had to drive a lot today which gave me time to think about your beautiful country.I remembered sitting in a pub having a pint watching football/soccer, and feeling like a fish out of water,as i know nothing about your national sport.

Hi Spook,
I have asked several deer hunters i know which species is the queens deer, all drew a blank.
The deer you describe sounds like a fallow deer, which i believe are the deer in the video.
You won't get me in a pub watching a game for pussies, like you i would be a fish out of water, however i would watch a mans game, rugby!
Cheers
Richard
