Porto chocolate sauce: fill a tea bag
(stainless steel) with cloves, crushed juniper
berries and a piece of a cinnamon stick. Hang
this in the saucepan in which you will bring the
game stock to a boil. Add red port wine and
culinary cream and reduce. Remove the
teabag. Now add finely chopped chocolate little
by little. Check the taste constantly. The
chocolate flavor should be subtle but not
overpowering. Season with salt, pepper and a
little nutmeg.
Meat: brown the fillets all around in the pan and
then put them in the oven for about 15 minutes
at 185°C or longer depending on the desired
cooking. Let rest covered. Cut them shortly
before serving.
An alternative preparation is to cook the fillets
sous vide. This gives a juicier result, without
blood and retaining all the flavor. Vacuum the
fillets and set the slow cooker to 56°C. You set
the time according to the thickness of the meat.
This is from 1 hour (2.5 cm thick) to 2 hours
(3.5 cm) or more if the pieces are thicker.
On the dinner plate: two pieces of venison
fillet topped with the sauce. This preparation is
accompanied by classic side dishes, such as
Brussels sprouts and a pear poached in
Sauternes with cranberry compote. Potato
croquettes can also be served separately.
