Venison Leg Roast With Cranberry and Port Stuffing

Recipe #291408 | 1¾ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Erin Randall
Mar 12, 2008

My husband recently went hunting and brought home a deer. Now we have a freezer full and I have been searching for recipes - thanks to all of you who have posted Venison Recipes. Hubby and I came up with this idea ourselves and it turned out beautifully. We used a boned leg, but you could use any roasting cut, just butterfly it or create a pouch for the stuffing. You could use other herbs and flavourings, but the Cranberries and Port really compliment the Venison. Prep. time does not include the soaking time.

SERVES 4 -6 , 4 -6 serves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Soak Craisins in Port for a few hours.
  2. 2
    Sautee onion gently until soft and tender, but not coloured.
  3. 3
    Add Craisins and Port. Simmer until Port is reduced and thickened.
  4. 4
    Allow to cool.
  5. 5
    Mix together breadcrumbs, mustard, marjoram, pepper and salt. Add cooled onion and cranberry mixture. Combine well.
  6. 6
    Stuff the meat and roll, securing will with cooking twine.
  7. 7
    Roast in preheated oven 200oC for 15 minutes, then reduce to 180oC for remainder.
  8. 8
    Cooking time will vary depending on size of roast and how well you like you meat done. Mine weighed around 1.2kg once stuffed and took approximately 1 hour after turning the temperature down to 180oC.
