1 kg of venison meat, 1 jar of blueberry jelly, 80 g of lard, 1 onion, 1 glass of liquid cream, 2 tablespoons of flour, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. For the marinade: 1l full-bodied red wine, 4 bay leaves, 8 juniper berries, 1 sprig of rosemary, salt and pepper.
Remove the nerves and skin from the venison meat, wash it, dry it well and cut it into pieces; then place it in a container with the wine, juniper berries, bay leaf, rosemary, salt and pepper and marinate for at least 24 hours.
Chop the lard and onion and brown them in a pan with oil; then add the pieces of meat, drained from the marinade and floured, and fry them, turning them well for about 20 minutes.
