Making this roast venison couldn’t be simpler, and results in a tender, flavoursome and very impressive addition to your festive feast.

Ingredients

  • 3-3.5kg venison haunch, trimmed and boned-out
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Venison caul fat, enough to wrap right around the haunch

Method: How to make roast venison

1. Sprinkle the venison haunch with the rosemary and thyme, salt and pepper.

2. Wrap the seasoned haunch completely in venison caul fat.

3. Place in a roasting tin and cook for 30 minutes at 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7, then turn the oven down to 170°C/325°F/gas mark 3 for a further 35-40 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes, lightly covered with foil, before carving.
