Brown it in flour, lob in a casserole dish with red wine and some veg, put in a warm over for 3 hours. Job jobbed.

This is great.

Casserole is the thing, maybe a pie.

If you do the casserole with red wine, lob some cooked chestnuts and cloves in as well. Then serve with braised red cabbage, mash and purple sprouting broc - divine!

And invite us to try it! Sounds great.

I was thinking of swapping out beef mince for vension mince for the health benefits, thinking a chilli for starters (well, not that starter) - anyone tried it?

I used this recipe back in Oct for a group of us after a hard day's mountain biking - they all loved it!

Made with 'locally sourced' Muntjac (by locally sourced, I mean the woodland next to our house!)
Served with Dauphinoise potatoes and peppered / buttered Savoy cabbage.
Edited to say, I also included some diced dried apricots - forgot about those!

Tangine with apricot prunes and dates

served with cous cous

Could be a bit over powered with three sweet fruits but I would certainly agree about prunes - they go so well with venison

I sauté lardons of smoked streaky bacon, putting in to a casserole pot and leaving the oil behind, then brown the venison in that oil. All in to the pot with red wine, a glug of port, and chicken stock (or venison if you have, but not beef or lamb). With an hour or so to go I add some part cooked lentil vert and adjust seasoning.

I'd be making a bigos (Hunter's Stew) with that, plus some other bits:

Slow cook it with red wine and do it as venison ragu with tagliatelle or parpardelle and a nice red.

A mate who's a deerstalker eats little else. I've had a lasagne at his place made with venison mince cooked with red wine and tinned tomatoes and it was amazing.

Venison mince also make great burgers and meat balls.

To the OP. I would keep it really simple.

Make sure it's well browned - I use beef dripping. Coarse mirepoix of veg. A bouquet garni. Bit of flour for thickening. Red wine. Beef or chicken stock. Long slow cook.

Dauphinoise a really good call.

Very occasionally I like to go mad and eat it sans pastry!
