Mike's Everyday Venison Burger

A good venison burger is a must-have wild game recipe for any field to table enthusiast. 

Ingredients

• 1 lb of Ground Venison (good for 4 burgers)
• Salt to taste
• A handful of finely chopped Shallots
• 1 or 2 finely grated cloves of Garlic
• 2 tbsp of grated Parmesan
• A handful of finely chopped Parsley
• A squidge of hot sauce (Mike’s favorite is Cholula)
• A squidge of Ketchup
• 4 Brioche Buns
• Watercress lettuce
• Smoked streaky Bacon (a slice or two per burger)
• A handful of your favorite Cheese per burger, grated​

Method

1. Mix your ground venison – ground twice with a medium blade with salt to taste (and by this I mean mix it in a pinch at a time and taste a tiny bit of the raw mix as you go… this may inspire a venison tartare!)
2. Add a handful of finely chopped shallots and one or two finely grated cloves of garlic – again to your taste
3. Add grated Parmesan, a handful of finely chopped parsley, a squidge of hot sauce and a squidge of Ketchup (A squidge is technically measured as one full squeeze of the bottle…ish)
