Prized for its richness and texture, venison is a highlight of Autumnal cooking and deserves a cook who is both meticulous and well-informed.
This recipe features four other elements which are also worth learning; a sweet potato rösti, chorizo and fig purée, chorizo jus and a Scotch quail egg. We are using a pickled egg for the latter, as the acidity brilliantly complements the richer flavours and elements in this dish.

2 pickled quail eggs
2 venison sausages
50g plain flour
1 hen egg
50g fresh panko breadcrumbs
80g cooking spicy chorizo
