About

It is often forgotten what a pleasure steamed savoury puddings can be. I think the combination of this light crust (the secret is in the addition of breadcrumbs) and richly flavoured venison filling makes a wonderful winter dish, well worth preparing for a weekend meal when you have time to cook.

Ingredients

675 g/1½ lb boneless venison from shoulder or neck
25 g/

Method

Slice the venison into roughly 2.5cm/1 in pieces. Put the flour into a large bowl, add the sliced venison and stir around to coat all over with flour. Peel and slice the onions and cut the mushrooms in half. Melt 40 g/1½
