what is roux?

Sounds good though--sure makes me hungry!!!

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

Ahhhhhh roux...... it's part of Cajun cuisine (I'm not Cajun but I'm here to tell ya they know how to eat!! I get over to Looooooosiana every chance I get). Many creole recipes start with, "First, you make a roux...." I found a better explanation of roux than I could give...check out [link]http://www.gumbopages.com/food/ingred.html[/link]
Enjoy.

As the link said ,it's flour and fat. I usually add about 1/4 cup of flour - 2 tbs butter and wisk together. What it does is prevent the gravy from becoming lumpy as it would if you just add the flour or corn starch. For turkey gravy I skim off about 1/4 cup turkey fat and mix in 1 cup of flower, simmer about 5 min , then I add the turkey broth and juices till the right consistancy. About 3-4 cups. also pepper and maybe some salt.

For half fat and half gravy roux, the longer you simmer the mix, the darker and more flavorfull. Simmer slow not boil and burn. It should take about 30-6- min.
Enjoy and have fun.:)

Thanks for the info, makes sense, I'll give it a try next time.

NO sour cream???? OOps no I see the sour cream,my bad.

Roux is a thickening agent equal parts usual butter and flour. There are three consistency and colors for rouxs.

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

Another great recipe! I printed this one.

Another good way to make a roux(pronounced rooo) if your watchin the carbs is to mix some corn starch in cold liquid/water or milk and then add to hot liquid.Will thicken it nicely.

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

Sounds like a good recipe but try first marinading the sliced meat & mushrooms in a large zip-lock bag with 1 cup of white wine & 1/4 cup olive oil. Place in bag & remove air and leave in fridge for 6-12 hrs. Drain then carry on.

Bon Appetite

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

that sounds like a nice addition. I'll have to give it a shot.

I usually marinade most of my meat in Worshire sause and soy sauce over-night. This seems to really flavor the meat, but I think adds too much "something" and takes away the natural flavor.

I'm going to try your marinade, and I also heard using Italian dressing was good too

I made the Venison Stroganoff for Din Din tonight. Superb!
Wife and daughter loved it. Everybody had 2 helpings and enough left for couple lunches. I tweeked it just a bit to lower the fat and carbs.

I really liked the butter in this recipe.It smoothed and blended everthing very nicely.
Used pint of low fat cream,pint of 2% milk. Used double the mushrooms(baby portabellos). Mixed up some corn starch to thicken. Seasoned with some of my own premixed seasoning along with 1 tsp salt,1tbsp of ground pepper. Simmered for hour and spooned it over some low fat wheat noodles and sprinkled with parsley.

Next time(real soon)gonna try 1/2 cup of white wine while cooking. Other than cooking time it only took 1/2 hour from browning meat,thicken,and bring to simmer. You could actually have this on table in about 45 minutes.

I use beef consumme in by stroganoff too, also you can get a roux mix by tony chacheres, it is found in the spice section at your local grocery store. Or you can order it here

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

I have a shaker of Tony's Creole seasoning. Can't remember where I got it, but use it all the time.

Never seen the Mushroom,Roux,Gravy or Seafood seasoning?? I'm gonna need to find that stuff somewhere. I added Tony to Favorites for future orders if I can't find locally.

I go to Food Network Web Site all the time for recipes I've seen on TV and just gotta make! You can find Tons of home made seasoning mixes/rubs by doing a search on Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasi(sp) recipes to name a couple. Mix your own "Esence" at home in old Mc cormick plastic or glass spice shaker. Cost you a fraction of what the big name brands cost.

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

Kewl!! We saw a ton of different creole spices while we were down there, one called slap yo momma, and a few hot sauces that i cant repeat, but they did have emerils stuff there too. The prices were outrageuos though, fer somethin you can buy at your local grocery store. They had crab boil called swamp fire, and all kind of weird stuff!!

RE: Venison Stroganoff
 

I've made Emeril's Bam. (original Essence) from the ingrediants on his site, and also had a bottle given to me, that was bought at a store. The homemade tastes much better.
