• Put the venison into a plastic bag with seasoned flour and shake to coat. Add a little more oil and butter to the pan, then fry the venison over a high heat, stirring now and then, until well browned. Don't crowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary. Set aside with the vegetables.
• Add the redcurrant jelly and wine to the pan, and bring to the boil, scraping up all the bits that have stuck to the bottom. Pour in the stock, then add the thyme, bay leaf, meat and vegetables.

Steps:

• The day before, mix together the marinade ingredients and add the cubed venison to the mixture. Leave this, covered, in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, fry the onions in a little olive oil, add the marinated venison chunks bit by bit and fry until they have changed colour. Transfer these to a casserole dish and add the marinade. Lower the heat to allow the meat to cook very slowly. Meanwhile . . .
• Wash the Beluga lentils in cold water then put them in a saucepan and add water just to cover them. Cook them until they are almost soft. Drain them, reserving the liquid they have cooked in as you may need to add some to the casserole if it looks a little dry at any time during its hour of slow cooking.
• Add the carrot chunks to the casserole.
• Put the lid on the casserole and transfer to a cool oven - Electricity: 140 deg.C, Fan oven: 120 deg.C, Gas 1 - for about one hour, or until the carrots and meat are tender. Check on the casserole at half time and if the liquid seems low, add some of the water the lentils were cooked in.
• The casserole should be quite rich when cooked, so serve with a plainly cooked green vegetable and rice or potatoes.

Steps:

• Place the venison cubes into a large resealable bag. Add the red wine, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, seasoned salt, allspice berries and pickled garlic. Seal the bag and turn to distribute the ingredients. Refrigerate overnight to marinate.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the red onions; cook and stir for a few minutes. Add the venison and continue cooking until it is browned. Pour in the marinade from the bag and allow to simmer over low heat while you prepare the lentils.
• Rinse the lentils and place in a saucepan. Fill with enough water to cover the lentils by at least 1 inch. Cook until almost tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer the lentils to the Dutch oven. Add the pearl onions and carrot chunks and cover with a lid.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the venison is very tender, about 1 hour.
