CAJUN VENISON Roast is about cooking Game correctly and well, so that its nutritious Meat is not wasted, but adds to our lives what we took when we hunted the animal. with Thanks for and to all the responsible hunters I'm known and loved, for bringing home food we needed, when we needed this food....

CAJUN VENISON

Cajun People love wild game and are good hunters, efficient and proud of getting a lot of meat out of their hunting. This hunting is fair, because many Cajuns are not wealthy at all, and they need the game for their families

so , here's how to do a Venison Roast cajun style:
trim all the fat and gristle and the silvery skin off the raw meat. cut slits two inches deep  all around the roast. pack the slits with a paste of salt, pepper, garlic powder, some cayenne pepper worchestershire sauce and celery powder, with a clove of garlic to packit into each slit. put the roast into a bowl  and cover it with one cup of apple cider vinegar, once cup of Italian dressing, and one cup of red wine. Place in the icebox over night....Put a whole cup of olive oil in a heavy metal pot and heat to medium. brown the roast all around, and add two large diced yellow onions, cover...when the onions are soft, add an eight ounce glass of water with cajun seasonings as desired (I usually add a roux at this time). Keep adding water to make the roast really tender. about an hour in, add minced garlic, file', a cup of cooking sherry, and three cups of mushrooms to the broth. continue at low heat until the roast is really tender when you cut it. Slice the roast while it's still in the pot, and let the meat absorb flavor from the gravy. add chopped green onions to the gravy, and a bit of really chopped parsley. Serve right away over white fluffy rice, or long grained white rice mixed with wild rice....

it takes some time, but  it is a meat gift  you can be really thankful for, for it is delicious and very nourishing....

Here's its POEM:

When he brought in the Deer
She was  a doe
without faun
but still, I sighed.
can't waste her life no more...
So we hang her and clean her out -
the dogs and cats eat that part -
the pigs a bit as well....
The man skins her and takes off her head -
we bury those parts under the apple tree....
onto the table in the summer kitchen she lays
and we start to cut everything up.
We get Methodical right about then.
washing and lightly salting and cutting and
packing  into the butcher paper and labeling
and throwing into the floor freezer in sections:
roasts and steaks and stew meat and liver and 
sausage bits and parts that will go for jerky and
ribs and leg roasts and all....
then we wash the summer kitchen table and the floor 
soap and water and rinse it with the hose and 
once again I sigh, and I sigh the whole time
we do all these things to feed our large an'
Hungry Family of Children and Workers and Animals...
I sigh: Thank you. thank you so much, Woman Deer:
I swear to you your life was not in vain:
You will live in Us and we will Thrive for You
For Generations, this I promise you. 
amen. Amen.
