    Braised Venison Shanks with Garlic

    So on Saturday I had some friends over for dinner.
    I looked for a recipe and found this: Braised Venison Shank Recipe with Garlic | Hunter Angler Gardener Cook

    Utterly awesome. Was great.
    The trick in the recipe looks to be the basting. When it came out of the pot, it was a bit tough I thought, but the basting method worked a treat.

    A few changes:

    I added a good squeeze of lemon juice - the recipe calls for a lot of salt.
    Cook for an extra hour - 2hrs just didn't do it.
    Prepare all of the garlic first. His method is hit-and-miss.
    The venison shanks I had were boneless as well.

    I put the shanks on a bed of polenta - made with milk, some chicken stock, fresh chopped rosemary.

    The sauce is a real highlight. Awesome for leftover sandwiches

    Sounds great Kumoe. I might give that a go
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Had shanks for dinner last night. A mix of lamb and veni. Had to mix them because they all seem to come standard one leg short for the family.

    I worked in a restaurant and I remember the trick was to marinate them in red wine with all the veges and herbs overnight, then drain them (keep all the wine/veges etc) dust in some flour and fry them until a good brown then add all the other stuff again and cover and throw into the oven at about 160 for 4hours. Maybe even 4 1/2. If you keep the bone in you get better flavour. Have it with some buttery mash potato and some puha out of the garden is awesome.

    If you saw the end of bone off it lets the marrow release its fat and add to the flavor.
