[newhunterette]

I found myself into one of those moods where I feel like cooking up some ready to go meals for those rare occasions I am not home to feed the family.

Rummaging through my mounds of recipes I discovered this gem, for a very elegant meatloaf.

finely diced pork belly
2 diced onions
1/4 c each dry red wine and gin
or 1/2 cup dry red wine
1 egg
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 cloves garlic , minced
3/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pinch each salt and ground cloves
2 lb ground venison
6 bay leaves


In skillet, fry salt pork Add onions; saute until golden

Stir in wine and gin, scraping up brown bits from pan; boil until reduced let cool.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat egg. Mix in fresh bread crumbs, whipping cream, garlic, thyme, pepper, salt and cloves; mix in onion mixture. Mix in venison until combined.

Line 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with 3 of the bay leaves. Press meat into pan; top with remaining bay leaves. Bake at 350 75 to 80 minutes. Discard bay leaves when slicing.

I take the short ribs out in one piece. bone attached. Coat them with a marinade (your preference)over night. I use olive oil, fresh basil, garlic & soya. BBQ them on HIGH about 12-15 min per side. Make sure you don't over cook them. Slice them like a rack of lamb

Okay flippin thru a few 1,000 recipes I found this very interesting one for venison steaks, I'm think I better try this one and see how it comes out because it has one very strange ingredient, I am thinking this would be a great iron chef recipe if "Peanuts" was the secret ingredient. "reminder: do not try this recipe if you or someone you know has peanut/nut allergies.

PEANUT INFUSED VENISON STEAK
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 clove garlic, diced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 venison steaks

In a fry pan over medium heat, quickly saute the garlic in the hot oil for about 3 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients except the steaks. Brush the warmed sauce over the venison steaks, covering both sides, and immediately place steaks on a hot grill. Cook to your satisfaction.

Dare y'all to try this stew in camp.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup corn oil
1 1/2 pounds cubed venison
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely diced
8 small red potatoes, quartered
3 celery stalks, diced
3 carrots
2 bay leaves
1 cup mushrooms, (wild if you can find them)
1/4 teaspoon dried, finely crumbled sage
1/4 teaspoon dried parsely, chopped
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
ground pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon any hot sauce
2 cups water, vegetable, or meat stock
small jar, prepared salsa, mild or according to taste

Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add venison and quickly brown on all sides, stirring frequently. Add onion, garlic, and potatoes, stirring well. Add remaining ingredients, blending and stirring well.
Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the venison and potatoes are tender. Balance the seasonings to your taste. If stew ends up to spicy, serve with sour cream.
