- How do you make venison patties? Rinse the venison well, remove any tough membranes and sinew, and cut it into pieces small enough to fit through a meat grinder. Peel the skin off the pork fatback and cut it into pieces roughly the same size as the meat. Run the prepared meat and fat through the grinder twice. Rinse the raw potato well and peel it. Cut it into small pieces and grind it along with the meat — or, if you prefer, grate it on the fine holes of a box grater. Peel the onion and garlic, cut them into pieces, and run them through the grinder as well; you can also crush the garlic with a press. Pour warm milk (or water) over the stale white bread and let it swell. Once the bread has softened and soaked up nearly all the liquid, you're ready to go on. Gently squeeze out the bread and grind it after the meat. Combine everything, then add the egg and ground allspice. Salt the mixture and stir it thoroughly. Be sure to throw the mixture down against the countertop or a cutting board a few times to give it a smooth, soft texture — that's what makes the patties especially tender and juicy. Pour a little cold water into a bowl and dip your hands in it (so the meat won't stick), then divide the mixture into small portions. Roll each portion into a ball and shape it into a patty. Dredge in flour or breadcrumbs, whichever you prefer. Fry the venison patties in hot vegetable oil for 5–7 minutes per side, until they develop a nicely browned crust. Serve the patties with a side of your choice — boiled pasta, stewed vegetables, any fluffy grain, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
- Note: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on choosing the perfect skillet for different dishes, read more here.
- Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, above which the oil starts to burn and forms toxic compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature, pick the best oil for frying, and know which oils to avoid altogether, read more here.
- If you use a ready-made spice blend, always check the ingredients on the package. These blends often already contain salt — keep that in mind so you don't over-salt the dish.
