Venison Carpaccio With Chocolate Oil & Hazelnut Crunch

venison-cappaccio 400g boned venison leg, trimmed

Roll venison leg in cling wrap and partially freeze. Slice into 1mm rounds and leave at room temperature. To serve, arrange venison slices flat across the serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate oil and scatter with hazelnut crunch (recipes follow). Accompany with a small salad of raddichio, roquette and cress.
Serves 4.

Best served with a full bodied Pinot Noir
Hazelnut crunch:
500g castor sugar
100ml light soy sauce
100ml water
400g roasted hazelnuts

Bring sugar, soy sauce and water to boil in a pan until a light caramel is achieved. Be careful, do not use a shallow pan as this will have a tendency to rise. Stir in hazelnuts and pour onto greaseproof paper and cool. When set, crush lightly in a food processor. Store, airtight, at room temperature

Chocolate oil:
500ml extra virgin olive oil
300g grated Ibara chocolate
small pinch salt

Heat oil to 45C. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate. Add salt and strain through a fine chinois or sieve. Store at room temperature
