Beardo Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Serves 4 Ingredients 4 decent size muntjac shanks or more if they're small (i have 6 in the pics below) glug of olive oil 50g butter 4 onions (peeled and roughly chopped) 2 large parsnips (peeled and roughly chopped) 4 carrots (peeled and roughly chopped) 4 shallots (peeled and sliced) 6 whole garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 100g tomato puree 500ml red wine 100ml Port 1litre beef stock 2 tbsp juniper berries 10 thyme stalks with leaves 6 parsley stalks (no leaves) 1 tsp rsalt 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper Method 1. Preheat oven to 160ºC. 2. Season shanks with salt and pepper. Bring oil to heat in casserole pot on hob. When hot place in shanks. Turn once golden brown and ensure all sides are browned evenly. Towards the end add butter. 3. Remove meat from dish and set aside. Add in vegetables and brown for 3-5 min. Once well browned add in tomato puree and continue cooking for a couple of minutes. 4. Add wine and port then reduce for 5 min. Add the meat back in and add stock, juniper berries, thyme, parsley stalks, salt and pepper, then bring to the boil. 5. Put loose fitting tinfoil lid on then cook in oven for 3 hours. Check the meat throughout the cooking time and spoon the cooking liquid over shanks. If they appear dry, turn them over. Serve with a good mashed potato. Pics to follow as i'm writing this whilst cooking! Halfway through cooking... Finished dish (minus the mash as i'm not eating this now, i just had to use up some defrosted shanks that i was kindly given by Stealth Stalker earlier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 The fallow fillet was cracking this evening, nice and simple just rubbed in garlic, salt and black pepper... Seared in a little butter and olive oil then popped in. 200c oven for 10 mins, left to rest for 10. Served with garlic and butter fried field mushrooms and chips.
