Cervena Venison and Shitake Dim Sum in Aromatic Broth with Steamed Vegetables.

Last year in the mid-semester break I went on a trip to South East Asia, travelling across Malaysia and to Singapore with a local family. 

With this in mind I wanted to use ingredients that were familiar to Kiwis, which would be the New Zealand farmed Venison. My dish is a fusion of the exotic flavours used in South East Asian cookery, and a familiar, yet sought-after ingredient used in New Zealand cuisine. Together creating an affordable meal is still be packed full of flavour, as if you where eating this dish at a street stall in South East Asia.

When you really need to impress your guests, be they your boss or your mother-in-law, nothing has the wow-factor of a frenched rack of farmed venison. Cooked whole, served and carved at the table, your friends will be talking about it for weeks.

A frenched rack is easy to cook and looks spectacular on the plate.
