Ingredients:

For this recipe you will need

• 1kg mince venison
• 100g pork fat, finely chopped or minced
• 100g fine chopped, smoked streaky bacon
• four cloves of garlic, finely crushed
• two tablespoons lemon zest and two tablespoons orange juice
• two tablespoons port
• four tablespoons chopped parsley
• two tablespoons chopped chives
• four shallots, finely chopped­­
• good pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper

Method:

Liam likes to keep it simple with his venison burgers.

• Simply mix all the ingredients well, shape to size (use a cutter if it helps) and you’re done. All that’s left to do is cook.
• To cook: BBQ, grill, pan fry or oven bake.

Chef Tip: The pork fat is important as venison is a lean meat and the burger does need a little extra fat to help it cook without drying out (but if you want a healthy burger, leave it out).

• Serve in your bread of choice (we can’t resist a brioche bun) with some chips, onion rings and lots of salad.
