Roast venison neck straight out of the oven ready to go in the crockpot to cook overnight for soup...


The end result of a deer neck cooked overnight in the crockpot? Half a bowl of stock ready to be made into soup


A tip from a butcher (me!) on how to upgrade a soup on a budget. Get a small pack of sausages (pork in this case), slit the skins and fold the sausage meat out using wet hands. Make the meat into small meatballs, fry them and biff them in the soup. Use wet hands to roll out the meatballs in the palms of your hands


Venison, pork meatball, onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, leek, mizuna, purple mustard, kale soup. Flavoured with, star anise, cinnamon stick, Sichuan pepper, bay leaves, lemongrass and cardamom.
