Venison pie: A rich, heartwarming meal for the whole family

There’s something about a hearty pot pie that everybody can enjoy. The meaty filling topped with a golden buttery pie crust are two contrasting sides of the same tasty coin. We are adding even more flavour with our venison pie. Venison can be quite rich for some but with the addition of some great spices braised to perfection, you have something special. It’s also a recipe you can experiment with.

Venison pie suggestions

Venison likes to be cooked until it’s very tender with some great spices like cloves, nutmeg and allspice to help it along. You can still experiment by adding some vegetables like carrots, peas and even potatoes to add some sweetness. When braising, taste your sauce to see if it need seasoning and maybe a pinch of chili too. Serve with a green salad on the side and enjoy with your whole family.

If you have friends coming over, a pot pie is a great way to share your love of food. Our venison pie is rich, hearty and simple to make.
