Roast Venison Haunch

Dinner @ "The Outsider".

 

"Roast venison haunch, truffled celeriac puree, smoked bacon and venison black pudding polenta parmentier, mojo verde, cauliflower, peas"

 

Mains for one of the member of the table.

His comments were generally “pretty to look at; not enough to fill one up” (grin)

 

The “sporadically-placed” servings also meant I do not have the heart to take too big a piece to try. Chuckle! The little morsel of venison I had, it was tasty though.

 

The haunch refers to the leg and loin of an animal, especially a deer, as food...and I encountered a new ingredient from this dish: Mojo verde.

 

Mojo is the name given to several types of sauces, varying in spiciness, consisting primarily of olive oil, local pepper varieties (called pimienta in the Canary Islands), garlic, paprika (called pimentón in Spain), cumin or coriander, and other spices. Mojo originated in the Canary Islands, where the main varieties are green mojo (mojo verde), red mojo (mojo rojo) and spicy red mojo (mojo picón). Salsa verde-ish but with peppers?
