Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Pulse the flour, butter, two eggs, and water in a food processor until a dough forms.
  • Roll out the dough to 0.5cm thick and cut into two circles to fit the dishes.
  • Place dough discs on a baking sheet, brush with egg, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Fry the onion in oil until soft, then add garlic for one minute.
  • Add venison and cook until browned on all sides.
  • Simmer wine and vinegar until reduced by half, then stir in seasoning and grated chocolate.
  • Divide filling between two ovenproof dishes and top each with a pastry disc.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is cooked.
  • Garnish with rosemary to serve.
