Quoted message said:Yes, I'm fond of odd subject titles.
In any case, I've now taken to adding game meat to my diet, and in my supermarket I can buy
packages of frozen, mixed game meat (includes reindeer, moose and other such animals, native
to Sweden).
The package contains uniform, square, thin slices, which consist of 90% meat. The package, of 240 g
(about half a pound) is sliced into 6 or 7 slices.
What is the other 10%? I take it this is an industrial product? We get venison from a game farm, but
it looks like recognizable parts of an animal, except for sausages.
Quoted message said:The first time I bought it, a few weeks back, I simply fried it up with an onion, a green squash
and a red pepper. That was quite nice, but I'm looking for other ideas and/or recipes for this
meat. Please keep in mind that my experience with cooking meat is very small, and that I'd prefer
to also have some vegetables in the dish.
You could make a sort of Bolognese for some pasta, using oinion, tomatoes, garlic, and maybe an herb
that would go well with the venison flavor, like perhaps sage or thyme.
Since it is already in thin slices, you might consider a layered casserole with layers of potato,
leeks, and whatever other vegetable is handy, between the meat slices.. Maybe some grated cheese on
top to make a nice crust.
A soup can be made from almost anything, starting with a chopped onion, some vegetables, starch
(potatoes, pasta, a grain). Meat that thin doesn't need ot be cooked very long, but raw grain will
need 20 minutes, as will potatoes.
You could cut the meat in small pieces and fry it in the onion after the onion is transparent, then
put in grain and liquid, other vegetables.
You didn't say what vegetables and other ingredients are readily available where you are. That
might help.
