A favourite way with venison in autumn from ” Comfort & Spice” by Niamh Shields. The sauce with need adjusting to your preference depending on the sweetness of the blackberries, the richness of the stock and your choice of wine. Use a good quality balsamic vinegar if you can. Serve with mashed potatoes.
Another delicious side dish from Signe Johansen.If feeding two or three people, use just one or two vegetables, ideally including the sweet potato, to ensure the right balance of flavours. Keep any leftover pomegranate seeds for garnishing a pudding, or a salad of leftovers the next day. The yoghurt dressing keeps for a few days in the fridge and makes an excellent dip with crispbread or toasted pitta.
Another delicious Scandinavian recipe from Signe Johansen. For two or three people, simply reduce the pickle by a third or half. The pickled beets keep for a few days in the fridge, so making the full amount will give you pickles to have in sandwiches; they also pair well with goat’s cheese or smoked fish.
