Allergens

  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Creamed horseradish is made with cream and often egg yolk. Plain grated horseradish carries neither.

Flags follow UK labelling rules and come from the ingredients as listed, not from any particular brand. Check the packet before cooking for somebody with an allergy.

Ingredients

  • Venison steak, minced or chopped very fine170 g

    Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.

  • Egg yolk1 yolk, about 17 g

    Venison is so lean the burger needs a binder or it crumbles.

  • New potatoes180 g

    Raw weight, skins on.

  • Cooked beetroot80 g

  • Red cabbage80 g

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for fifteen minutes.

  2. Grate the beetroot, cabbage and carrot coarsely. Stir the horseradish into the yogurt with a pinch of salt and toss the vegetables through it.

  3. Mix the venison with the yolk, thyme and salt and shape into one patty. Fry in the oil over a medium-high heat for four minutes a side. It should still be pink in the middle.

  4. Serve the burger on the slaw with the potatoes.

Worth knowing

  • Ask the butcher to mince the venison, or pulse cubes in a food processor. Bought venison burgers often have pork fat added, which changes the figure by 100 kcal or more.
  • Cook it less than a beef burger. Venison with no fat goes from pink to dry in about a minute.
