Has anyone ever used Venison in a curry? Low in fat, tender meat a bit Gamey......

What sort of dish do you think you could use Venison in? Probably anything really, but what would suit best?....

My missus is turkish and they'll eat just about anything, she sometimes turns up with heart, kidneys, brains testicles for me to try. I've tried the testicles and they're...O.K in taste but I can't get used to the idea of eating some poor old sheep's crown jewels. However if that means I can increase my curry making rate to twice a week, maybe I'll give it a go

Chicken Shawarma

Boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1/4 t ground cardamom
1/4 t ground cloves
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t ground black pepper
1 onion finely chopped
4 garlic cloves crushed
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c water
1/8 c white vinegar
1 c plain yogurt
1/8 c olive oil

Mix all ingredients and pour over boneless, skinless chicken breast. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Remove from marinade - Grill or bake until chicken is done.

I like to serve this in pitas or flat bread as sandwiches with tahini sauce, feta, lettuce cucumber, tomato and thinly sliced onion. Or served over fattoush salad. I don't know what is traditional, but either way I love this recipe!

Tahini sauce:
1/2 c tahini
1/2 c lemon juice
1/4 c water
1 t salt
2 cloves garlic crushed.

Mash garlic and salt to a paste. Then add remaining ingredients and stir to combine - chill.

If you have any specific requests I'll ask. I do like the chi kofte which is made with raw beef/ bulgar and lots of paprika.
