Venison and Mushroom Medley Hand Pies

As I have mentioned before, I am a big fan of “wild game” whether it be venison, boar, elk, etc. This recipe takes my Vension Ragout, adds a whole lot more mushrooms to make it very thick, and then fill into delicious, buttery puff pastry. totally decadent. Very earthy, savory, comfort food.

Hand pies freeze well! Wrap in foil, then pop each one in a ziplock baggie. To reheat bake in the tin foil for 12-12 minutes, then unwrap and bake an additional 5 minutes without the foil to crisp up. Great for a lunch or dinner with a salad.

Foraged Chanterelles in Pepper Cream Sauce, with Pasta

I have been mushroom foraging since I was literally a toddler (I found my first chanterelles when I couldn’t barely walk), so not to worry about me.

So this weekend, up in Maine, these lovely chanterelles were found. I had enough for this meal and there will be one more recipe from this round as well. This pasta dish was very yummy and very pepper-y. Chanterelles are pretty peppery to begin with and then this pepper cream sauce was really lush. Four stars, I’d definitely make it again!
