Denniss Venison Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Using a heavy skillet large enough to accommodate the rack of venison, fry the bacon. Drain strips on paper towel. Cut bacon in 1/2-inch pieces and set aside. Brush venison with some of the bacon fat. Leave 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pan and discard the rest. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin with the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the spices on the meat and let rest 1 hour. Cook the shallots in the remaining fat in the pan on medium heat until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove shallots from the pan and set aside.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using the skillet or another pan big enough to hold the rack of venison, place the venison in the pan, bone side down, and roast 20 minutes. Test with an instant-read thermometer. It should register 115 degrees for medium rare to rare. If more doneness is desired, leave the venison in the oven another 5 minutes. But it will start to toughen if cooked more than medium rare.
• Remove venison from the pan and place on a cutting board to rest while you prepare the sauce. Lightly toast the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin in the pan. Add the stock and the wine. Whisk in the mustard and thyme. Cook on medium high until the liquid has reduced to a scant 1/2 cup, just about covering the bottom of the pan. Lower heat and whisk in the butter bit by bit. Add additional salt if desired. Stir in the reserved bacon and shallots.
• Slice the rack into individual chops between the bones and arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce with the shallots and bacon over the meat and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• With a sharp paring or razor-tipped knife, cut around each chestnut through the shell in a ring about a third of the way down from the root end. Spread the chestnuts in a pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. The chestnuts should be cooked and the shell loose enough to peel away easily.
• Put the peeled chestnuts in a two-quart pot with the apple, figs, apricots, prunes, chili pepper and chicken stock. Bring the liquid to a boil. Cover, lower the heat and cook for about 30 minutes. All the liquid should be absorbed and the fruit soft but still in large pieces. Keep warm.
• Heat grill or broiler. Combine the ground pepper and juniper in a small bowl. Put the olive oil on a plate. Turn each chop in the oiled plate, then sprinkle an eighth of a teaspoon pepper mixture on each side. Place them on the hot grill or under the broiler. Cook one minute per side for rare.
• Bring the juice stock to a boil and stir in the dissolved arrowroot. Cook a moment until the sauce thickens. Season it with freshly ground black pepper. Serve two chops per person with some of the sauce and the dried fruits on the side.

Transfer to a platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• While the venison is resting, melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced sage leaves and cook, occasionally stirring and turning the leaves, until the edges curl and the butter is dark amber but not black or burned, about 5 minutes. Add the blackberries to the butter and cook for 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon some of the butter onto 4 large plates, top with the veal chops, and spoon some of the blackberries and butter over each chop. Garnish with fresh sage leaves.
