Well, two questions really. First, I will be working with venison soon and I was wondering if there were any hints out there. I'm thinking of using cherry-wood at 275? Is this too low?
I've also heard on, I think it was the show Master-chef, that you need to let venison 'rest' for the same amount of time you cook it. Is there any truth to this?
The other question I had, was regarding a red wine reduction that I wanted to do with the venison.
Do you think a reduction could work well? Would it be better to work with a fruit reduction sauce?
Also is it possible to do with a Treger? I was thinking of just taking the stuff that comes off the drip pan.. but that seems like it could end badly...
Well I hope to be able to post this to the competition this weekend! ...Unfortunately I have not made anything I was really proud of for a while, so that's why I haven't been around for a month or so.
