Venison Bucatini
Deer hunting is pretty serious business around our house. We have both whitetail and mule deer that roam our river bottoms and pastures. I love to watch them and I always get excited when I see a big buck. Someday, I will get off my lazy rump and get a nice one. The hunting is about more than the horns for us, we also enjoy the meat. We make a lot of jerky, chili, and stews, but this time I have branched and created a great wild game dish that was something special.
I used the venison along with porcini mushrooms and a few other key items from the Spice Store to create a thick and hearty pasta sauce to serve over bucatini. I got an email not too long ago stating that since I live in Wyoming, I should be sharing more game recipes! Even if you are not a fan of wild game, you must try this out! It could easily be made with beef or pork.
The Virtual Potluck has come together to bring you a great variety of recipes today all featuring dishes inspired by the different sections of Savory Spice Shop. Each Virtual Potluck member is also hosting a giveaway featuring different gift sets. Be sure to visit Cookistry, our host blog for links to all of the recipes and giveaways! The variety and quality of these products are amazing! I am loving every item that I received and you will be featuring them in future posts.
The Salt’n of the Sea gift set would be a great addition to any kitchen, available exclusively at Savory Spice Shop and I get to give one away! It includes: Italian Black Truffle Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt, Frenchy Fleur de Sel, and Fine Alder Wood Smoked Salt.

This looks SO tasty, Miss! I love bucatini, it is so cool
I would love to try the pomegranate molasses. I bet it would make a tasty addition to homemade bbq sauce.

I’d love to try the carribbean lime hot sauce! Tons of great choices though
Venison is the staple meat of our diet, so I was excited to run across the recipe as I’m always on the lookout for a new idea. I would be very interested in trying the venison stock, as I currently use beef stock when needed in my venison recipes.

This is a fantastic recipe. I love bucatini pasta and I’m happy to see someone use the meat they hunt in their kitchen.
I would love to try the dried mushrooms – especially the porcini and chantrelles. I also think the tomato powder sounds interesting and would like to try that.

pomegranate molasses sounds interesting!
I have been searching for Rose Water to make spring cupcakes with pale pink foisting!
I make a KILLER wild turkey thigh pasta using a poultry demi-glace that I get from Williams Sonoma, but I would love to try their Vegetable and Venison Demi Glaze.
My eyes lit up when I saw that collection of salts! Would LOVE to win that!
And, I am printing out your recipe to try.
I have a lot of game recipes on my site. Have you ever clicked over to my site to check it out? I am telling you, we are culinary sisters.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had venison! My grandpa was a hunter so we had it back in the day…but not for a long time. This sauce looks so hearty and delish, especially with those mushrooms!
I checked out Savory Spice Shops selection of hot sauces, and I have to say I’d be happy to try any of those! Great giveaway, I’d love those salts!

I’ve always wanted to try orange blossom water in baked goods. I’m imagining chocolate madeleines. Rose water would be an interesting addition as well.

Yum! I just recently learned about all the different kinds of salt. I also recently made the Sweet and Salty Cake from the recipe in “Baked: New Frontiers in Baking.” I’d make this recipe again, but using the fleur de sel like the recipe calls for! Probably why it was too salty!!
I would get the hot chocolate mixes. I would love to try a new brand

I’m really interested in the tomato powder…
My dad is a hunter and I grew up eating venison. I get some about once a year, but wish I had it more often. This dish looks terrific.
I would like to try the Hickory smoke flavoring, but I’m not sure what to make with it…maybe a good tofu

I just love venison, and this recipe is making me drool! The only thing I miss from my first marriage was that he was a hunter, and I could get my fix! Let me know if you need me to send you a dry ice box with my address label attached, for all those leftovers you can’t fit into your freezer!

I’d try to make their Muhammara Tart topped with Ras el Hanout Cauliflower using their Pomegranate Molasses.
This looks delicious, Milisa! Do you also have elk in your neck of the woods?

This looks delicious. Growing up in Wyoming this was a staple at our house. Thanks for sharing it.
Tomato Powder would be a great addition to soups. I’ve also used it in the past to make a thick pizza “sauce” for a last-minute supper.

Your recipe is fabulous! I love seeing people post venison/elk game recipes – my boyfriend is a hunter, so we always have game meet in the freezer…I wish more people knew how awesome game is from a nutrition and flavor standpoint! Hope you have a great weekend!
I think the tomato powder would be great. Too.
