Venison makes a really good stew. Using the meat from the shoulder – rich, dark and deep in flavour, it responds well to slow-cooking.
Wild rabbit is plentiful when wild garlic can be found in British woodlands, and the two flavours are a match made in heaven in this easy casserole recipe.
Hare meat is darker and gamier than rabbit and so makes a delicious and hearty pie topped with creamy mashed potato rather than pastry. Serve it with autumnal corn on the cob.
Spatch-cocking the pheasant means it can lie flat when grilled. It cooks at a relatively high temperature, allowing the skin to crisp on the outside, whilst the meat remains juicy and tender.
