Roasted Blackberry-Cherry Tomato Chutney On Venison Medallions #BakingBloggers

By

Today the Baking Bloggers are baking with summer berries. Host Sue of Palatable Pastime wrote: "Join us for a bit of fun on June 10th as we post recipes using summer berries (of any type). Recipes can be sweet or savory- the only requirement is that baking be performed somewhere in the recipe." Okay.

 I, then, asked for clarification of the difference between roasting and baking. Sue replied that "Yes, roasted berries are inherently baked." So, I'm running with it. But is there a distinction? And, if so, what is it?!?

 The Berried Dishes

Roasted Blackberry-Cherry Tomato Chutney 
On Venison Medallions

Ingredients
Chutney
  • 1 pound organic blackberries
  • 2 pound organic cherry tomatoes, halved
  • olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 1" knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 t ground curry powder
  • 1/2 t ground all spice
  • 1/2 t ground smoked paprika
  • 1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 C organic dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 C vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/2 C red wine
  • juice from 1 organic lemon
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

 Venison
  • 4 medallions
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • also needed: grill or grill pan



Procedure
Chutney
Preheat oven to 300°F.

Place the cherry tomatoes, blackberries, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine, then turn out onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour until the tomatoes have shriveled and started to caramelize on the edges.

Place the remaining ingredients - except the lemon juice in a large flat-bottom pan. When the berries and tomatoes are done, add them to the pan and bring to a simmer. Stirring frequently, simmer for 30 to 40 minutes until the mixture turns dark, jammy,and shiny.


Reserve what you want to use. Place the remaining chutney in sterlized jars and refrigerate. It should keep for two to three weeks and makes a great addition to warmed cheese.


Venison
Remove the meat from the fridge and let them come to room temperature. Pat medallions dry and sprinkle both sides liberally with the salt and pepper. Grill medallions on lightly oiled grill or grill pan. Cook approximately 7 or 8 minutes total for medium-rare, so 4 minutes on each side. I usually time 2 minutes, then rotate 90° to get criss-crossed grill marks. Then another 2 minutes before flipping and repeating on the other side.


Transfer medallions to a cutting board and let stand, tented loosely with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with chutney on the side.

    I love chutney and I can see this gracing a pork tenderloin as well.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce

Aloo Tiki {Pakistan}

By
To start off our Pakistani culinary adventure, I started us off with aloo tiki - potato cutlets. I'm always game for tasty street food. I found a couple of different recipes and incorporated those together for this version. Ingredients 6-8 small red potatoes, scrubbed 1 T cumin seeds 1 T fresh chopped parsley 1/2 t ground coriander 1 t minced garlic Procedure Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let cool. Mash the potatoes. Traditionally they are mashed without their skins. I left the skins on. In a small pan, toast the cumin seeds on high heat until the begin to give off an aroma and begin to darken. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to keep them from cooking any more. Blend all of the spices into the mashed potatoes, then shape into small patties. If you wet your hands, the potato mixture won't stick to them. Heat a splash of oil in a large, flat-bottom pan. Dip each patty into beaten egg and carefully place in the oil. P
