Venison

[WinkyWinkola]

I've decided to do venison for Boxing Day.

When I say 'do', I don't really have a clue what to do but by then we'll be sick of turkey and goose (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals).

Anyone got any lovely venison recipes they'd like to share? I have a slow cooker too so can use that... ..

If it is a joint wrap it in bacon and roast for 10 min to the lb and serve with red current jelly or port wine.
Will find a casserole recipe for you and be back
Is it farmed or wild venison there is a big taste difference, the farmed is mild not to strong.
