Description

This dish is a feast for the palate! Tender saddle of venison, combined with fresh white asparagus and crispy potatoes, makes a wonderful meal. The sauce, refined with wild garlic, perfectly rounds off the dish. I particularly like making this recipe in the spring when asparagus is in season. It is a great dish for a festive meal or a special occasion. Although the preparation is a bit more complex, the result is worth it. An absolute highlight for all lovers of game dishes!
