The venison shank in this show-stopping dish is beautifully tender, with intense flavour. It is paired with a lovely creamy horseradish mash and pan-fried bacon cabbage; a medium-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir would wash it down very nicely!
While sous vide might seem like a piece of equipment only found in the kitchens of the most keen home cooks, it's genuinely transformative for cooking game. This venison recipe showcases exactly why: the gentle cooking ensures your haunch will be succulent and tender throughout. Serve with herby salsa verde, crispy potatoes and seasonal veg for restaurant-quality dining at home.
