With more of us looking to stray away from the typical dry turkey dinner with all the trimmings and venture into new flavours on the big day, my venison fillet recipe offers an alternative that not only will have your mouth watering, but keeps you from slaving over the hob all day long.
With buttery cauliflower steak, spiced poached pears and a glossy blackberry-chestnut gravy, this dish combines classic festive flavours with a sophisticated twist – and spares you hours over the stove.
Step aside, turkey: This venison Christmas dinner is the ultimate festive feast Tired of dry turkey?
With flavours of fresh thyme, rosemary and cinnamon, this recipe includes some of the classic Christmas flavours we all know and love.
I recommend Barolo as its earthy cherry and rose notes complement venison beautifully, while Amarone’s full-bodied sweetness and dried fruit hints elevate the poached pears.
