I started by pan searing the ground venison, then deglazed the pan with with red wine before adding my scratch sauce to make a bolognese-inspired meat sauce.

I creamed some al dente spaghetti with the sauce, then plated it before garnishing with Parmigiano Reggiano, parsley, and red pepper.

      Thank you! I like the flexibility we have for post formatting in Lemmy and want to keep tinkering until I feel like I’m taking advantage of the options we have.

    Venison is my favorite meat for chili. Unfortunately, unless you know a hunter and are willing to put half a processed deer in a deep freeze, getting your hands on venison around here is rare.

      It’s the same where I’m from. Luckily I grew up in the middle of nowhere and my dad gets gifts from the hunters who use his acreage throughout the year. I know I’m not waking up at 5 am to go sit in the cold and get it myself haha.

      I wish farmed venison was more widely available. Like you said, it’s a great protein.

        I don’t have a deep freeze and I don’t have the stomach to be a hunter, but just occasionally, Fresh Time has venison, so I check every so often. It’s not cheap though.
