Add the garlic, onions and jalapeño and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the venison and cook, stirring, until slightly brown, about 4 minutes.

  • Combine the cream, milk, butter, thyme and garlic in a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Add the cornmeal, whisking constantly, until thick and creamy, about 8 minutes. Add the chives, jalapeno, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then mix in the egg yolks, one by one, stirring constantly, until just combined then remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into the batter.
  • Coat a cast-iron skillet or an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and pour in the batter. Bake until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  • Serve chili and cornbread with dollops of sour cream, lime zest and fresh cilantro leaves.

VENISON CHILI

I got this recipe the last time I was on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and tweaked it some to match our taste. The beans are optional, but if you leave them out you should add another pound of ground venison to the mix.

Categories     Deer

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lbs ground venison
2 1/2 cups onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 (1 ounce) packages chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 (18 ounce) can tomato juice
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 (1 g) packet sugar substitute
2 (7 ounce) cans mushrooms
1 large green bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • Coat bottom of a large Dutch oven with cooking spray (I use garlic flavour).
  • Add oil, heat over medium heat.
  • Brown together venison, onion, and garlic until venison is completely browned and onions are translucent.
  • Stir in chili seasoning.
  • Add steak sauce and next 5 ingredients.
  • Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Add beans and rest of ingredients.
  • Continue simmering at least one more hour, until done, stirring occasionally.
  • For thicker chili, remove cover for last half hour of cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right venison: For the best chili, use venison that is fresh or has been properly frozen and thawed. Avoid using venison that has been freezer burned.
  • Trim the fat: Before cooking the venison, trim off any excess fat. This will help to reduce the gamey flavor of the meat.
  • Brown the venison: Browning the venison before adding it to the chili will help to develop its flavor and add depth to the dish.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to use a variety of beans in your chili. This will add different flavors and textures to the dish.
  • Simmer the chili low and slow: The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer it for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Season to taste: Once the chili is done simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of sweetness with honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Venison chili is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover venison. With a little planning and effort, you can make a venison chili that is sure to impress your family and friends.
