I’ve long been a proponent of using deer fat in cooking. In fact, it’s one of my more favorite hunting myths to puncture when I talk to other hunters about game cookery. After all, it just makes sense that the fat on venison would taste good, especially if you are hunting either in the Grain Belt or wherever there are a lot of acorns: Most of us like the taste of grain-fed beef, and acorn-fed pork is some of the finest in the world.

I love curries in all their forms, which means that venison curry is on the menu all season. This is a Thai-style massaman curry, which normally uses beef, and you can do the same if you are not a hunter. But I do prefer this with venison. Turns out most curries aren’t in fact made with fresh ingredients.

I grew up in New Jersey, in a town called Westfield that supported more than a dozen Italian restaurants, serving a sizable Italian American population. Sausage, peppers, and onions was a staple dinner, spaghetti with sausage, pizza with sausage, stromboli with sausage… you get the point. Always, there were two kinds: sweet and hot. Sweet looked more or less like any other link, but the spicy Italian sausage was always red — sometimes red from just chile flakes, sometimes because it had a little paprika in it. This made the easy to pick out in a big platter: Red ones spicy, white ones sweet.

OK folks, here it is: The best recipe for a deer’s front shoulder I’ve yet to find: Venison barbacoa. This is a classic Mexican barbacoa, a mildly spicy, long-braised variant on barbecue works perfectly with the tough, sinewy front legs on a deer, or really any animal. Historically I’ve mostly used front legs for stew and for grinding, but this is even better. The meat cooks very slowly, and all that connective tissue dissolves.

Yes, you can make risotto with red meat. This venison risotto is a riff of a beef risotto dish from northern Italy. It’s essentially a venison rice porridge, loose and rich. Serve it in a bowl. Many of the elements in this venison risotto mimic the beginnings of a classic Italian-American red sauce: tomato, onions, garlic, red wine, herbs. You can use any kind and cut of venison here: Deer, elk, antelope, moose, etc. Make this Venison Risotto! | @huntgathercook Risotto Dishes, Risotto Recipes, Rice Recipes, Simple Green Salad, Wild Food

Mexican chorizo is very different from its Spanish cousin. Mexican chorizo is softer, spicier and more floral than Spanish chorizo. Here’s how to make homemade chorizo with pork, beef or pretty much any wild game animal.  Making authentic Mexican chorizo is tricky if you don’t have some of the ingredients, but even if you leave some out, it’ll still be good. You should also know that there is no “One True” chorizo recipe– each cook has his or her own variation.

Scotch broth is more of a mood than a set recipe. You will see variations with beef, lamb, and yes, game. My version is a venison soup based on the Scottish original, but of course you can use beef or lamb if that’s what you have. I have had a version of venison soup-as-Scotch Broth on this site, well, since the beginning, back in 2007. I am of Scots descent, and my mom made a lamb and barley version of this soup often when I was a boy. This recipe is close to that one, with some modern changes and the addition of venison.

This one is a classic. I mean really: Who hasn’t eaten beef stroganoff? Stroganoff has traditionally been made with quality meat, sliced thin. That means cuts like sirloin or even filet mignon in beef. Hamburger versions are OK, but not my thing. With venison, thinly sliced pieces of backstrap mixed with mushrooms, shallots, dill and sour cream are the ticket. This is filling, easy-to-eat cool-weather food of the first order.

If you like Mexican food, or really American Southwestern food, this chorizo burger is for you. A mash-up of border cuisines, the burger itself is the star, loaded with flavor and super easy to make at home — but there are a few tricks you need to know first. I experimented with a wide variety of different ways to make a chorizo burger, ranging from 100 percent chorizo to different types of chorizo to smaller proportions of the spicy sausage.

Jerky, the ultimate meat snack. Beef leather. Chewy, savory, spicy, sweet, it’s my favorite thing to gnaw on when I’m on the road. Making your own deer jerky at home is a snap: Slice, marinate, dry, eat. You’re going to love this venison jerky recipe, which was praised as the “One Jerky to Rule Them All” by Petersen’s magazine. It’s won lots of awards. Make this Chipotle Deer Jerky Recipe! | @huntgathercook Deer Jerky Recipe, Venison Jerky Recipe, Jerky Recipes

Venison and broccoli is yet another Chinese takeout classic that I’ve adapted to wild ingredients. Everyone’s eaten beef and broccoli at a cheapy Chinese place: It’s often the healthiest thing on the menu, with lots of steamed and briefly stir fried broccoli florets, a light sauce and lean meat. The difference between using beef and venison of any kind — I used elk here, but deer or moose or antelope would be fine — is minimal.
