Simple Dinners: Venison rendang curry

There are some dishes that are exciting to create purely because of the incredible smells that fill your kitchen when cooking them, and this fragrant rendang curry qualifies as one such dish. As our sous vide Pulled Venison Shoulder absorbs the spices and aromatics, it then becomes even more tender when simmered in the creaminess of the coconut and beef broth.

1 hour

2-3

Medium

• 1 pack Field & Flower Sous Vide Pulled Venison Shoulder (350g)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lemongrass stalks, bruised
• 3 kaffir lime leaves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 3 star anise
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground fennel
• 1 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
• 240g Beef Bone Broth
• Salt, to taste
• Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and toasted coconut flakes
• Serve with steamed jasmine rice

1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn soft and golden.

2. Stir in the minced garlic, bruised lemongrass stalks, kaffir lime leaves, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, and star anise.

3. Sprinkle in the ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground fennel, and chilli powder. Stir to coat the aromatics with the rich spices, creating a fragrant base for the rendang.

4. Gently introduce the sous vide pulled venison shoulder to the pot, letting it soak up the aromatic flavours.

5. Pour in the coconut milk and beef broth, allowing the richness of the coconut to meld with the spices. Add the brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.

6. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and let the rendang bubble away for about half an hour.

7. As the rendang simmers, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. Just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and toasted coconut flakes.

8. Plate the Venison Rendang with steamed, fragrant jasmine rice.
