malkiserow Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 CWD, MUNTJAC ROE FALLOW RED I've not tried Sika yet, Tab Flynny I think I've had the "big" ones but now sure I really knew what was being served so decided not to guess...... Makes it easier when you shoot them and know the species! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I was given a joint of CWD and it was awful, put me off for life. Perhaps it had not been handled/hung correctly. Anyway :- 1.Muntie without a doubt 2. Pronghorn (am I allowed a non native species) It is good. 3. Roe 4. Wild boar 5. Mouflon 6 Wild goat (cabrito) My favourite way to cook backstrap is to cut in 1 1/2 inch steaks at an angle, having carefully taken off the silver skins. Then gentle beat each steak out until about 1/4 inch thick. Heat a skillet, drop in a large knob of butter and some crushed/chopped fresh garlic and black pepper. When this is seriously sizzling lay in the meat and keep turning until brown on the outside and pink in the middle. Brilliant hot or cold. I call them New Zealand Venison chips because my guide in New Zealand cooked the backstraps from the tahr I had just shot in the same way in a cast iron skillet on a wood fire. Awesome.

norfolk dumpling Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 CWD all the time. Using the blackstrap wife makes wonderful small Wellingtons - sealed very quickly and then only the time it takes for pastry to cook. Looking forward to November.
