VENISON & VEGETABLE (HUNTER'S) PIE

Venison & Vegetable (Hunter's) Pie image

This is a mix between the Hunter's Pie and Cottage Pie recipes found in "Irish Pub Cooking" by Larry Doyle. I've never had either before, so I can't comment on how close it is to your usual Cottage Pie. All I know is that this was a good one-pot meal for venison lovers like us!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs ground venison
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups fat-free vegetable broth
1/4 cup tomato paste
red pepper flakes, to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup white mushroom
2 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half
garlic powder, to taste

Steps:

Preheat to oven 375 degrees F.
Get two pans going: a large skillet for the meat and a medium saucepan for the potatoes. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet and brown meat. While the meat is cooking, cover the peeled and diced potatoes with cold water and boil.
After about five minutes, remove meat from pan, leaving any remaining oil in the skillet.
Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook garlic, carrots, celery, onion and green pepper until slightly brown. Stir in flour and tomato paste. (This mixture will coat the veggies.) Cook the veggies for another minute, stirring constantly. Pour in the broth, chili flakes and boil, stirring constantly.
Add the venison back into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often. The mixture will be thick!
Put the meat mixture into a pie plate.
Drain the potatoes and return to the stove, heating over low heat to dry potatoes a bit. (This will only take a minute.) Mash the potatoes with the half-and-half and garlic powder. Spoon the potatoes over the meat mixture and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until potatoes are lightly brown and veggies are as soft as you'd like.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality venison: The better the quality of the venison, the better the casserole will taste. If you can, try to get venison from a local hunter or butcher.
Trim the venison of excess fat: This will help to reduce the gamey flavor of the venison.
Browning the venison before stewing it: This will help to develop the flavor and create a richer sauce.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the casserole. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
Use a flavorful broth: A good broth will help to enhance the flavor of the casserole. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth.
Season the casserole well: Be sure to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and paprika.
Simmer the casserole for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the venison to become tender.
Serve the casserole with your favorite sides: Some good choices include mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Hunter's venison casserole is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a venison casserole that will be sure to impress your family and friends.
