Serves 4 people
Cooking time: 1 day prep, 25 minutes cooking

Ingredients

  • 1 venison fillet (approx. 1 ½ lbs/700 g)
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 2 cups (400 g) tutti frutti
  • 2 cups (½ L) apple juice
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • ½ tsp potato flour
  • 7 Tbsp (100 g) creamy butter
  • 1 orange
  • 4 cups (600 g) green or string beans
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Wine suggestion: Pinotage

The wine’s fruit flavours combine exceptionally well with a refined game meat, such as venison or antelope.

Preparation

Cook 2 cups (400 g) tutti frutti in 2 cups (½ L) apple juice with 1 stick cinnamon and let cool and soak at least 1 night.

Spice 1 ½ lbs (700 g) venison fillet with some finely chopped rosemary and thyme and salt and pepper.

Warm soaked tutti frutti and add ½ Tbsp potato flour mixed with cold water to help bind.

Cook green beans al dente.

Fry venison fillet in butter in a pan 15 minutes until brown and let sit in aluminium foil 10 minutes.

Cool butter with a splash of orange juice and add some thyme.

Cut pink venison fillet into slices and serve with tutti frutti, green beans and some orange juice.
