Brined and seared venison with berries and nuts

Method

Coat the raw meat in the sugar / salt and tea leaves. Let stand for 3 hours turning frequently. Remove, brush off all salt/sugar clinging to the venison and drain.

Heat cooking oil in a pan, apply cracked black pepper to the venison and sear on all sides till well browned. Cool.

Parsnip crisps.  Heat 1 cup of cooking oil in a pot, when hot drop in parsnip shavings and fry till stiff, but not browned.  Set aside to drain and cool.

 

To Serve

The venison should have a firm texture.  Slice into bite sized cubes and place on the serving dish among a salad of greens like baby arugula,  scatter walnuts and berries and top with the fried parsnip.  Drizzle over oil, balsamic and salt and pepper to finish.
