venison with cherry mostarda and chanterelles

November 26th, 2008 · 801 Comments

we’ll be flying to nyc to celebrate thanksgiving with my mom. so this year i don’t have to cook a thing.  ok, i am bringing lupini beans that were soaked in a brining solution for 5 days, but that hardly counts (just add olive oil and fresh black pepper). and really, the ‘not cooking’ thing is totally fine with me. after all, i cook quite a bit. so i’m more than happy to relinquish control. plus, last year was quite the scream…

but while everyone is going turkey crazy, i decided to have a little early sunday celebration of my own and so my bff angela came over with her husband, and this was our dinner. well this and some of that smoked mullet roe, and cannellini beans cooked with the pig jowl skin sliced from chris’s guancialle. and speaking of chris, the doe that the venison came from was shot by his step-father in leipers fork, just 30 minutes from my house. chris had offered me some of the meat and i somehow had the nerve to request the best cut – the tenderloin, and he kindly obliged.

chris butchered the deer himself, and brought me both of the choice tenderloin strips. i aged them in the refrigerator for 10 days, soaked them overnight in milk and then they were salted for about 7 hours before they hit my grill. i’m not saying that this is the way to do it. it’s just the way it transpired over here. and i’d do it again. yes i would. like as soon as possible.

and it was beyond excellent. the venison was perfectly cooked on a very hot (900f) grill with nothing but some olive oil. i had feared that it might overcook before i got much of a char but because of the leanness of the meat, it was just as i’d hoped.

i simply sautéed some chanterelles in some of my danish butter that i’ve grown quite fond of, and then there was the cherry mostarda. it’s a mixture of cherries, sugar, balsamic vinegar and mustard powder.

see? simple… i mean really, really…

yes, a touch of parsley crossed my mind, but it felt just too lame…

so, just a quick post before i fly up north. and a huge and grateful thank you to my ceF readers. you’ve just no idea how fond i’ve grown of you, and how i have come to sort of rely on the fact that you’re all out there. it makes my life richer and rounder, in so many ways.

a very happy thanksgiving to all of you…

    gracias tambien por tu info, Jesus. Si las trabuco se te quedan cortas, igual además de las XT wings / Xodus puedes mirarte las Cascadia, puesto que en lo técnico no tienes problema. Una buena alternativa a las Xtwings, por mi experiencia, quizá puedan ser tb las nuevas RL001.

    Ciao Silvia. Riprendo anch’io da Carlotta. Lo zoo di Zurigo è un esempio di zoo che funzione e che ha un senso. All’interno per esempio c’è una sezione dedicata a Masoala. Parte degli introiti dello zoo servono per finanziare il Parco di Masola ultima foresta primaria del Madagascar). Se però non c’è un progetto e gli animali vengono tenuti in gabbia solo per far soldi gli zoo non mi piacciono

    Other thoughts: the release date is supposed to be for NOVEMBER. it is AUGUST. there is PLENTY of time for changes to the game to be made, so we will probably see more modes/ goodies added before release. chill the fuck out people.

    I don’t think you can actually run a proper hotel in the states. It’s all built around the happy motoring mentality, show up and leave. What is described as normal here is the lowest grade elsewhere. Still, clean and ready with running hot water has a lot going for it.

    I found a glob in a Capri Sun and contacted Kraft. They reimbursed me for the box of Capri’s I had purchased and that was it. I had noticed the box looked as if it had been damp at one time and was a bit warped. Anyhow, it was pretty gross!

    Jeg er enig i at poenget kunne kommet frem uten å trekke frem enkeltblogger sine temaer. Ellers må jeg si at jeg ikke forstår helt kritikken fra enkelte om at disse temaene gjør bloggen mindre personlig. At du forteller hva du leser, om en bok du gleder deg til eller om en av dine favorittbøker er jo veldig personlig synes jeg. Det viser vel bare at smaken er som baken.Til slutt vil jeg bare få si at jeg synes innlegg som dette der vi kan diskutere rundt bokblogging er veldig interessant altså Solgunn:-)

    Dawkins is an old fart and a misogynist. His argument that at least he isn’t “Taliban level misogynist” which makes *his* misogyny level apparently okay is a laughably bad argument.The atheist community needs to move beyond Dawkins. It can’t get far with the philosophy “not as bad as religion”. He’s a theological attack dog, he wrote his couple of books, there’s literally nothing he is needed for other than being that keynote speaker at events who attracts people and other, more relevant, speakers.

    Ecco, anche una mia amica (che ora tanto amica non lo è più) aveva avuto la stessa esperienza. Con la differenza che è andata a vivere con inseminator, un coglione patentato che l’ha voluta plasmare a sua immagine e somiglianza. Ed essendo lui un coglione patentato, non immagini come sia diventata lei.E la figlia… no comment.

    Well it depends on a lot of things, maybe both of you are already experienced, and then it’s not really that big of a deal, so it usually happens sooner that way, otherwise, if one is a virgin, or both are virgins, then it might be a few weeks maybe even months until they feel comfortable enough to know that the other person is the one they want to share that special moment with. Hope this helps.

    A possibilidade de extensão do plugin depende muita da forma como foi feito e a concepção de orientação a objeto no javascript é bem diferente do PHP. Estender plugins existentes muitas vezes não é possível, mas muitos plugins permitem isto. Isto estará contido na documentação. Eventos tem o mesmo funcionamento de métodos. Espero que ajude, boa sorte, abraços…

    நித்ய கல்யானி – சாமுராய்,காஷ்மீர் மக்கள் பாகிஸ்தானுடன் சேர நினைக்கிறார்கள் என்பது ஆர்எஸ்எஸ்சினுடைய விஷப் பிரச்சாரம். அடுத்து காஷ்மீர் இந்தியாவில் ஒரு பகுதி என்பது அதைவிட மிகப்பெரிய மோசடி. காஷ்மீரின் விடுதலைப்போராட்ட வரலாற்றை படித்தவர்கள் அவர்கள் இரு நாட்டுடனுடன் சேர விரும்பாமல் தனியாக இருந்ததையும், இந்திய அரசு வஞ்சகத்தால் அதை தன்னகத்தே இணைத்துக்கொண்டதையும் புரிந்து கொள்ளலாம்.எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் மேல் காஷ்மீரிகள் என்ன விரும்புகிறார்கள் என்பதே இங்கு முக்கியம். அவர்கள் தனிநாடாக இருக்க விரும்பினால் அதை அம்மக்கள் முடிவு என்று விட்டுவிடுவதுதான் சரியானது. இது ஏதோ காஷ்மீர் என்றில்லை வடகிழக்கு மாநிலங்களையும் இந்தியா இப்படித்தான் ஆக்கிரமித்துள்ளது என்பதும் குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
