Urban, Sichuan Venison, Nelson

Urban Sechuan Venison Marinade

The recent lockdown period gave Jay and the other chefs a great opportunity to experiment with a new menu. The Sichuan venison is another of Jay’s favourites.  

 Urban's Sechuan Venison Marinade
 

                                                                                                                                   

5 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 

3 spring onions, finely chopped

1 thumb ginger, grated

1/2 cup chilli oil

1 tablespoon whole Sichuan peppercorns

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup sweet soy sauce (kecap-manis)

100ml beef stock

Method:

Preheat a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the chilli oil, garlic, spring onion and ginger.

Cook gently until soft.

In a small dry frying pan (do not add oil), toast the Sichuan pepper until it begins to pop and crackle, keep it moving in the pan. Crush in a pestle and mortar or on a clean chopping board, using the base of a clean dry saucepan.

Add Sichuan pepper to the chilli oil and cook for a further 3 minutes until aromatic.

Add vinegar, sweet soy and beef stock, simmer for one minute.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups of Sichuan marinade.

Urban recommends a Montepulciano with the Sichuan Venison, The Wine List suggests La Valentina Montepulciano as it has the complexity to retain its flavours when paired with a meaty triumph of deep red meat in a spiced marinade.

Cauliflower Mash with Truffle Oil

Cauliflower mash rose to fame at the height of the paleo epidemic. And in our house, it has endured. Dubbed cloud fluff by my children. Light, tasty and quicker than mashed potatoes, you'll need a blender or wand and a good slick of truffle oil to make it sing.
