The Deer Hunter Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Leeks

   Slice the leeks thinly and rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the leeks, and sauté until they are caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Venison

   In a separate pan, cook the ground venison over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked venison, caramelized leeks, white sauce, ricotta, and fresh herbs. Mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Assemble the Dish

   In a baking dish, spread the venison and leek mixture evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella and smoked gouda cheese.

5. 5

   Bake

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dish for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from oven, drizzle with blueberry-balsamic drizzle, and serve warm.
