I'm at Sprouts house, thoroughly enjoying my granddaughters. This morning, I thought I'd make omelets for the crew. So I looked in the fridge and saw ground venison. I wondered how I could incorporate the meat into the omelet. I thought of breakfast sausage made with the venison, sage, salt, pepper, etc. I couldn't find the sage, or even thyme, though Sprout assured me that she had some. So my next thought was to make a venison chorizo, sans alcohol. Here's how I made it, and it came out really good.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground venison (very lean)
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. coarse grind black pepper
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/8 tsp. ground coriander
1/8 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. ground paprika
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Place into a frying pan and brown until cooked through.
The gamey flavor of the venison worked perfectly with the southwestern herb/spice flavorings to create a very good chorizo. This blend would make great carne asada, with a bit of cilantro, lime, and fresh peppers added, or would be perfect as a taco/burrito filling. The venison flavor adds just the right flavor profile. I'm really happy with this combination. Hope you get the chance to try it. Oh, and it worked great in the omelt.
