Description

I've been making this braised venison leg for several years, and it's always a highlight on our Christmas table! The tender venison, braised in an aromatic red wine game stock, is simply delicious. The preparation takes a bit of time, but the effort is definitely worth it. The venison leg is braised with root vegetables and herbs until it's melt-in-your-mouth tender. It goes perfectly with a creamy ratatouille or bacon-wrapped green bean bundles with fried mushrooms. A festive dish that is perfect for special occasions.
