Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a frying pan, cook the venison for 5 mins, then turn over and cook for 3-5 mins more, depending on how rare you like it and the thickness of the meat (cook for 5-6 mins on each side for well done). Lift the meat from the pan and set aside to rest.

  • step 2

    Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan, then pour in the stock, redcurrant jelly and garlic. Stir over quite a high heat to blend everything together, then add the blackberries and carry on cooking until they soften. Serve with the venison, celeriac mash (see below) and broccoli.

RECIPE TIPS
SERVE WITH CELERIAC MASH

Thickly peel and chop a small celeriac, then boil with 3 small potatoes. Drain when tender and mash with butter and plenty of seasoning.

HEALTHY BENEFITS

Venison, an excellent source of protein, is low in calories. It also supplies an easily absorbed form of iron, so is ideal for pregnant and menstruating women. Venison contains good levels of the energising B vitamins – a standard portion provides 60 per cent of our daily B12 requirement.

question

Hello, is it a blackberry sauce only by virtue of having softened the berries and including a couple or so of them on the plate? Presumably I don't squash them in the pan or press them through a sieve or anything like that?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes it's just the whole berries that you add to the pan - divide them equally between the plates but there's no need to squash them into the sauce (although doing so and then sieving it would also make a nice sauce). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Absolutely delicious no changes to recipe except I served it with mini roasties, broccoli and carrots. Don’t forget to add your resting juices to the sauce! Yum!

I used a wine vinegar, cranberry sauce and some blackcurrant jam and it was delicious!

I loved the sauce in particular, so I have made it with our roast pork and discovered that it works very well.
