Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For compote
2 tart apples such as Granny Smith, cut into 1/3-inch dice
1 cup brandy
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups blackberries (1 pound), halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh mint
For venison
8 (3- to 4-ounce) venison rib chops or 1 (8-rib) rack of venison* (1 1/2 to 2 pound),cut into 8 chops
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make compote:
  • Bring apples, brandy, and sugar to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring, then boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 12 minutes. Stir in blackberries and remove from heat.
  • Cook venison and finish compote:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Pat chops dry, then stir together rosemary, salt, and cracked pepper and rub all over chops.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderately high heat, then sauté 4 chops, turning over once, until well browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a shallow baking pan. Cook remaining 4 chops in remaining tablespoon oil in same manner.
  • Roast chops in oven until medium-rare, about 3 minutes. Let chops stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
  • While chops stand, reheat compote over moderately low heat, gently stirring occasionally, until hot, then gently stir in butter, mint, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve chops with compote.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the chops were a bit bland. I would try it again, but I would add some more seasoning to the chops.

The recipe was easy to follow and the chops turned out great. The blackberry compote was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.

The chops were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the blackberry compote was delicious. I would try it again, but I would cook the chops for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too gamey for my taste. The venison was cooked well, but the blackberry compote didn't do much to mask the gaminess. I might try it again with a different type of meat.
