If you’re bored of bland burgers, you’ll love the gamey flavour of these venison burgers. Made with seasoned venison mince, they can’t be beaten in a brioche bun with onions and a melted slice of Stilton.

These venison stuffed peppers are a delicious meal, easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion throughout the year. Serve hot from the oven with a simple salad of mixed seasonal leaves.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Start by frying the venison mince on a medium heat until brown all over. Add the diced onion and continue frying for a few minutes. Mix in the tomato purée before adding the chopped tomatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, along with the oregano and basil. Turn down the temperature and leave to simmer for around 15 minutes to allow the mix to reduce and intensify in flavour.
- While the venison mix is reducing, use a small knife to cut the tops off the peppers (keeping the tops to use as lids), then scoop out the seeds. Sit the peppers and their lids on a plate and cook in the microwave on high for 5-6 minutes until they have softened.
- Add the cooked rice to the venison mix, turn up the temperature to a medium heat, and stir thoroughly. Continue cooking for a further 15 minutes to heat the rice through before spooning the mixture evenly into the peppers and topping with their lids.
- Finally, bake the stuffed peppers in the oven for 20 minutes.
With the right ingredients, the humble sausage roll can feel like one of the finest things you’ll ever eat! The deep fruity flavours of sloe gin work perfectly with rich game: wild boar and wild venison are both ideal.

- Place the mixture on the pastry and roll over to form a sausage roll.
- Crimp the edges, score the top and brush with an egg wash.
- Place into a hot over 180℃ for 25 minutes.
- Once cooked removed from the oven and allow to rest.
- Slice and serve warm with a little spiced apple chutney.

I love a regular beef chilli, but this venison version is something else! Using a combination of diced haunch and venison mince gives the dish a real depth of flavour and a great texture.
This is a gamey version of a Shepherd’s pie, with parsnip added to the mash topping to give it a savoury and sweet flavour.
