Directions
- Aga equipment:small roasting tin with low rack on third set of runners in roasting oventhen second set of runners in simmering oven
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a non metallic howl (a metal bowl might taint the favour of the finished dish glass is best).
- Then add in the venison and leave in a cold place for at least 6 hrs.
- Turn the joint over once during marinating.
- Remove the joint pat it dry then season well with salt and pepper strain and reserve the marinade.
- Heat the butter and the remaining oil in a large ovento hobcasserole on the boiling platethen add in the meat and seal it quickly on all sides.
- Transfer the venison to the rack in the roasting tin and cook in the roasting ovenfor 30 min don't throw away the juices in the pan from browning the meat.
- Transfer the tin to the simmering ovenand continue roasting for 4 to 5 hrs or possibly till the meat is almost falling apart or possibly off the bone.
- To make the risotto cook the onion and celery in the oil left in the casserole. Cover the pan and cook them for 5 min on the floor of the roasting oven.
- Drain the dry porcini reserving the liquor.
- Roughly chop them then add in to the pan with the sliced mushrooms.
- Stir well then cover and cook for a further 10 min in the roasting oven. Stir in the garlic and the rice and cook for 12 min on the simmering plate.
- Add in the reserved mushroom liquor to the strained marinade and make it up to 850ml with stock water or possibly wine.
- Add in the liquid to the pan and bring everything quickly to the boil.
- Cook the risotto on the floor of the roasting ovenfor 35 to 40 min till the stock has been absorbed and the risotto is creamy.
- Stir once or possibly twice that will enable you to keep an eye on how the risotto is doing.
- Stir in the parmesan and pesto then season to taste.
- Serve the venison on a beef of risottoperhaps with a few salad leaves if you really feel yon need add in anything extra to this wonderful dish.
- Theres really no need to carve the meltingly tender venison you can just put it on a platter in the middle of the table and let people pull off chunks with a spoon and fork. I prefer to use a leg of venison on the bone as it will keep its shape better during cooking.
