I'm a big fan of Venison Ragout. It's a pasta dish & you can bounce around online & find a handful of different recipes. Generally, I just chop up some mushrooms, onions, carrots, garlic. In a frying pan brown the ground venison, add the chopped items, throw in some fresh thyme & rosemary, 1/2 cup of red wine, season w/ some salt & pepper & let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Add it to the pasta of your choice. Delicious!
