Arcticberry Crusted Venison With Cauliflower Ragout Mocha Reduction Recipes

VENISON RAGU

Steps:

• Venison Ragu.
• In deep fry pan or dutch oven: Brown venison in olive oil. Do not crowd pan; do in batches if necessary. Remove to plate, with any juices. Do not wash pan. Add coating of olive oil to pan on medium heat. Add carrot, onion, leeks, fennel, fennel seed, and garlic. Saute until vegetables are nearly soft. Add wine and reduce slightly.
• Return meat and juices to pan. Add stock, pepper to taste, and rosemary. Reduce heat to simmer. Simmer, covered partially, for 45 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Before serving, add parsley and parmesan.
• Serve with noodles, polenta, or gnocchi.

MINIATURE CAULIFLOWER WITH TUSCAN RAGOUT

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a 3-quart ovenproof casserole or pan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and minced anchovy fillets; cook until garlic is softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms; cook until their liquid is released and evaporates, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, rosemary, olives, capers, and bay leaves. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until all the flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Transfer half of the mixture to the bowl of a food processor, and process until it is slightly chunky; return to pan. Use a large spoon to break up larger pieces of tomato.
• Arrange the cauliflower over the sauce in the pan. Cover, and cook until cauliflower is tender, about 30 minutes. (If mixture is too soupy, continue to cook another 5 to 10 minutes, uncovered, to reduce liquid.) Serve hot.

HERB-CRUSTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Remove leaves and trim stem end of cauliflower, leaving core intact. Place cauliflower core side down on a work surface. Using a large knife, slice in the center from top to bottom to yield 2 (1") "steaks"; reserve remaining cauliflower for another use.
• Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Roast on middle rack, turning halfway through, until cauliflower is tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss green beans with 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on another rimmed baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer, then roast in upper third of oven until green beans begin to blister, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, lemon zest, 1/3 cup parsley, and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer half of mixture to another medium bowl. Add panko and Parmesan to first bowl and mix with your hands. Add white beans and tomatoes to second bowl and toss to coat. Whisk mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
• Remove sheets from oven. Spread mayonnaise mixture over cauliflower. Sprinkle 1/4 cup panko mixture evenly over cauliflower. Add white bean mixture to sheet with green beans and toss to combine. Return sheets to oven and continue to roast until white beans begin to crisp and panko topping starts to brown, 5-7 minutes more.
• Divide cauliflower, green beans, white beans, and tomatoes among plates. Top with parsley.

DIJON ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Pour coated cauliflower onto a baking sheet, scraping out any shallot or garlic stuck to the bowl and sprinkling over cauliflower.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring 2 to 3 times, until cauliflower is tender, about 45 minutes.
