Steps

  • Blend venison, leeks, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor until combined.
  • Excluding the deep-frying oil, roll the meat into golf ball sizes using floured hands.
  • Fry meatballs in vegetable oil over high heat for six minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove meatballs and deglaze the pan with red wine over high heat.
  • Add balsamic vinegar and reduce the liquid by half.
  • Stir in butter and cook for one minute to finish the gravy.
  • Heat deep-frying oil in a heavy saucepan until a breadcrumb sizzles.
  • Deep fry parsnip ribbons for six minutes until golden and drain on paper.
  • Drizzle honey over the fried parsnips on a serving plate.
  • Serve meatballs over parsnips with gravy and lime wedges.
