Venison Tartare with Amaranth & Chestnut Mustard
Description
This Venison Tartare recipe uses Cervena back strap venison trimmed of fat and cut into small cubes. The tartare is dressed with a lemon-flavored mustard dressing and finely chopped shallots to add freshness and mild pungency. Separately, the amaranth grain is quickly puffed in hot vegetable oil to provide a crunchy contrast.
The tartare is assembled by placing the dressed venison in a square ring at the center of the plate, accompanied by a sweet chestnut-flavored mustard on the side and garnished with mustard leaves for a herbal note. The preparation highlights the delicate raw venison texture balanced with slightly crisp amaranth and the sweet-spicy mustard.
This dish serves as a refined starter or light course, emphasizing carefully balanced components and a clean presentation. Each element adds to the dish's texture and flavor, from the succulent raw venison to the distinctive chestnut mustard and garnish.
