This is a great summer dish by Tom Hishon of Orphan’s Kitchen – his take on a traditional South East Asian mince and veggie dish known as a larb. The combination of the caramelised onion and plums with the richness of the lean venison mince and crispy cos is a winner. If it’s warm enough, cook the red onion, cos and plums outside over coals on the barbecue to get a smoky, summer flavour and the neighbours’ mouths watering…
This recipe ticks all the boxes - It is quick to prepare, looks great, tastes delicious and is a healthy combination. The earthiness of the beetroot complements the rich gameyness of the venison, while the gin and plum add depth.

This is a very light and healthy dish that would serve well as a light lunch or perhaps even the perfect picnic hamper salad
