Venison meatloaf

Recipe by Graham Brown

 

Mince the trim or mince through the fine plate and halve this, processing one half into a smooth sausage meat. Add the venison stock to the sausage meat, mix with all the remaining ingredients and bind the remaining mince.


Place in a greased meatloaf tin or terrine mold and bake in the oven at 160 ̊C. Cook for 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 60 ̊C. Remove and rest. Keep the juices and make a pan gravy.


Steam the potatoes and mash gently. Stir in butter and warm milk, adding nutmeg, salt and white pepper to taste.


To serve, slice the meatloaf about ½ inch thick.  Place it on a spoonful of jam and top with a spoon of mash. Pour the gravy around it and serve with seasonal vegetables (such as crispy parsnip) and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
