| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Venison is usually the meat of the reindeer, but young elk is also a delicacy.
|
2. Wash the meat well in tepid water.
|
3. If frozen it should be immersed in cold water for 3 - 4 hours.
|
4. Venison tends to be rather dry and should preferably be pot-roasted, which helps to keep it tender and juicy, but it may also be roasted in the oven.
|
5. A 6 pound haunch of venison requires 3 - 4 hours cooking.
|
6. Dry the meat well, lard or stuff it with pork fat by piercing the meat and pressing in pieces of fat; rub in a little salt.
|
7. Roast in a slow oven (325°F) allowing 25 minutes per lb.
|
8. A sour cream or cranberry sauce may be served with it.
