Would You Order This?

[EcclesCake]

In a restaurant would this dish catch your eye?

Venison carpaccio with pomegranate seeds, capers, Parmesan shavings, baby leaves and a horseradish and lemon creme fraiche dressing?

[EcclesCake]

The venison will have been sealed all over but cooked no further than that.

[sunny-dave]

Can I get chips with that ... ?

[DTCwordfan]

sorry, I see it's a carpaccio.....yes.

[EcclesCake]

Tilly, perhaps I mistyped my post but I don't recall mentioning a fish starter anywhere?

[Slapshot]

Venison reacts nicely to a touch of citrus as well as the saltiness of a good parmesan and the capers(especially if you chop em) the pomegranate seeds give that touch of sweetness without overpowering the meat... nicely balanced

Sorry - that should have read :

"Treble Cooked Pink Fir Apple Slices - done in Aaardvark Fat - arranged Jenga Style"

[EcclesCake]

Dave, would you like me to get some Aunt Bessie's or McCains chips in?

[Prudie]

The lemon creme fraiche would be mixed with the horseradish to make a tarter horseradish, sounds yummy. I'd expect the pomegranate and capers to be just a few dotted about for garnish.

You could incorporate the parmesan into the salad dressing (just a thought)

[EcclesCake]

Don't ever use the friggin' J word on any of my posts or I'll shove a parsnip up your exhaust!

[FrogNog]

Can we swap the venison for chicken nuggets? I'm up for it then.

[Retrochic]

Is this something you are thinking of serving? Don't think lemon or creme fraiche would go with the venison. I would do it simply, on a bed of baby leaves if you must, with a dijon mustard vinaigrette, sprinkled with flakes of smoked sea salt.

[jourdain2]

That sounds pretty good as well Retrochic.

[Cloverjo]

Apart from the lemon crime fraiche, it sounds lovely. I would order it in a restaurant.

[EcclesCake]

thanks all.

[EcclesCake]

Just a thought.......

Dizmo, why are you so adamant about not matching venison with Parmesan?

[FrogNog]

I have to cook for someone who will only eat fish or veg divebuddy.
That's annoying because I really fancy the scallop thing.

[Tilly2]

Sorry to mention fish, Eccles. I didn't realise that this was one of those threads where you were not allowed to digress.

So, no. It wouldn't.;

[woofgang]

No, it sounds as cheffy as hell. Too many odds and ***.
