Venison rack with blue cheese dumplings and salsa verde

Recipe by Brad Farmerie - Public NYC


Take off the cap of the venison and scrape the bones. Add a bit of olive oil and season. Colour it in a pan and roast for 7 to 10 minutes.

For the dumplings, cook the potatoes in salted water. Peel the skin and mix the potatoes with the blue cheese, egg white, parmesan and nutmeg. Put mixture in the refrigerator. After a few hours mould the mixture into shape, - flat circles. Roll them in flour, colour them in a pan with oil and put them into the oven at 150 ̊C for 5 minutes.

Blend all the ingredients for the salsa verde, adding a little of the oil after each step.

Start to cook the mushrooms with olive oil and finish with butter. Add the garlic and the marjoram. Put them into the oven at 150 ̊C for 5 minutes.

Season the baby spinach with olive oil, sherry vinaigrette and salt. Add the mushrooms.

To serve, put one dumpling on a plate. Dress the salad over. Cut the meat and put one slice on the side. Sauce with the cooking juice of the meat and the salsa verde. Add a few more wild mushrooms and season.
