Condiments, Sauces and Accompaniments
Your imagination and taste buds are all that
limit you in cooking creatively and
deliciously with venison.
Caesar Salad-This
new dressing, just for venison.com, has
flavors that pop with your favorite venison
dish.
Mix together in medium bowl and whisk until
well blended:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire
1 tsp chopped roasted garlic (in jar)
3/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
3 drops hot sauce-Tabasco
Place this dressing in sealed glass jar in
refrigerator for 3-4 hours or over-night to
let flavors mix well. Serve with
Romaine lettuce and some extra Parmesan
cheese. If you like, add croutons,
bacon bits, avocado. Go wild with an
anchovy on top if you like things salty and
classic!
New ideas:
We note that master chef Stephen
Pyles' restaurant in Dallas is now serving
Chicken Fried Venison with
Chorizo Cream Gravy and
Caramelized Shallot-Sage Potatoes.
Take a page from
Stephen's cookbook, "The New
Texas Cuisine," where he lists these mouthwatering
recipes:
Black Buck Antelope with
Smothered Onions and Sweet
Potato Tamales.
Carpaccio of Black Buck antelope with
Cascabel Chile Aioli.

Pecans

Tamarind Stew with Cilantro Rice Ring
Grilled Squab with Caramelized
Bananas and Mango Quesadillas
Jalapeno-Stuffed Smoke Dove with
Drunken Beans, Three Potato
Salad, and Rosy Relish
Molasses-Grilled Quail with
Horseradish-Turnip Puree and

Pheasant Braised in Tequila with Peaches
Roast Pheasant with Oyster-Pecan
Dressing

In her book, "Animal, Vegetable,
Miracle," Barbara Kingsolver
suggests that the very best accompaniments
are those items that live and grow together,
both in the same neighborhood and/or in the
same season. Perhaps this is why
Turkey and Pecan Pie go so well
together. That is why Venison and
Stephan Pyles' Tamales with
Cranberries and Pecans go well
together, or venison and sweet
potatoes.
