Steps

  • Rub the venison with oil and seasoning, then sear on all sides in a hot pan.
  • Sauté shallots in butter until soft, then add mushrooms and thyme and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Add port to the mushrooms and cook until almost dry before cooling the mixture.
  • Overlap prosciutto slices on clingfilm and spread with the mushroom mixture.
  • Spread pâté over the venison, place on the mushrooms, wrap tightly with clingfilm, and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Cut two pieces of puff pastry slightly larger than the wrapped meat.
  • Place the meat onto one pastry sheet and brush with beaten egg.
  • Cover with the second pastry sheet, seal the edges, trim excess, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 150°C and cook for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and rest before slicing.
