European spices can add an extra layer of flavor to your venison dishes. From chicken fried venison to stuffed backstraps, there are so many creative ways to make your venison dishes more flavorful and interesting.
Some popular European spice blends for venison include: Rosemary, Marjoram, Juniper, and Sage. They all work well with ground venison!
Marjoram
Marjoram is a perennial herb, native to the Mediterranean region. It is used as a culinary herb and as a medicinal herb for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
It can be found both fresh and dried in many supermarkets. The fresh variety, called sweet marjoram, is more flavorful and aromatic than the dry type and works best in stews or sauces.
Venison is a gamey meat that needs all the help it can get to support its intense flavors, and herbs are best for achieving this balancing act. Herbs mellow out the meaty flavor, even out its intensity, and make it more forgiving to the spices that are added later.
Bay leaves are a classic herb for venison dishes, lending a slightly acidic, almost citrus flavor to the meat while helping to balance its gamey characteristics. It’s also an excellent herb to use in long-cooking recipes, like soups or stews, where the bay leaves release their flavor slowly during cooking.
Juniper
Juniper is an essential spice in European cuisine. Its intense flavors complement wild and gamey meats. It is often used to make gin or other distilled spirits, as well as marinades for venison and other wild meats.
In Northern Europe, juniper is typically crushed into stews and soups or added to cured or smoked meats for a unique flavor that is difficult to replicate. It also works beautifully with roasted or cooked meats such as venison.
Another classic venison seasoning is bay leaves. This herb, like juniper berries, lends a mildly acidic, almost citrus flavor to the meat and helps tame its meaty aroma.
Juniper berry has many medicinal properties, including its ability to act as a diuretic. This enables the body to flush uric acid and excess crystals from the kidneys, which can help treat arthritis, gout, and other problems. It’s also an effective appetite stimulant and has been used to treat menstrual cramps.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a herb that is commonly used to flavor meats, especially wild game like deer. The aromatic and resinous flavor of rosemary cuts through the heaviness that wild game can have and helps to make the meat more tender.
It can be added to stews, soups, roasts and even venison burgers. It can also be rubbed into the venison to season it before cooking.
A combination of rosemary and thyme is ideal for a venison loin roast. A mixture of herbs can be poured over the venison, then placed in the oven to cook.
Juniper berries are a popular addition to many venison recipes. These berry-like weeds are often dried and crushed before being added to dishes, but can be roasted as well.
Tarragon is another herb that pairs well with venison. It has a slightly sweet, anise-like flavor that complements the robust flavor of venison. It is best used in smaller amounts than rosemary, and should be added in a ratio of 1 tablespoon of tarragon to every teaspoon of rosemary.
Sage
Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a herb that adds extra flavor to sausages, salads, soups, or stews. It also has medicinal values and is a powerful aromatic.
Sage has a heavy floral aroma, which is why it is often used for candles, incense, and soaps. It is also a popular choice for food flavoring.
Dried sage can be purchased in a variety of forms, including rubbed and powdered. It can be used in the same way as fresh sage, but less is usually needed to achieve a desired effect.
It can also be used in combination with other herbs and vegetables. Generally, the herb should be added toward the end of the cooking process so that it can mellow out before serving.
Sage is a safe herb when used in small amounts and for short periods of time. However, it is possible to have side effects when taken with some medications, such as sedatives and certain antihistamines. It can cause breathing problems and sleepiness when taken with these drugs. It can also increase the amount of a chemical in the body called acetylcholine.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?
Spices are great because they bring out the best in any beverage. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to your favorite beverage, such as coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
But, since most recipes call to ground spices, you'll need whole spices. This is sensible, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires storage space.
Here is where the magic happens. You can transform your favourite spices into an easy-to-use powdered form with ingenuity. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.
There are two ways to go about creating these powders. The first involves the grinding of whole spices to make fine powder. A mortar and pestle is another method to grind the spices to a finer consistency.
You'll find it easier to make powder than whole spices, regardless of the method. The powder is stable so you don't run low on stock.
You can even experiment with mixing different spices to create new flavours. For minty water you could mix spearmint with peppermint leaves. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you've learned how to make powdered spices from scratch, you can apply the same process to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.
The possibilities are endless. You can use powdered spice to enhance the flavour of your drinks or dishes like soups, salads, or pasta.

How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So the shiitakes have been doing well. They are fine. How do we cut them? We have tried everything, even using scissors. But they keep falling out our hands. Is there something wrong?
The trick is simple. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. You won't slip or cut yourself.
It may sound too simple. It is. But it's also very effective.
The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. It's a good idea to secure the stem.
Try it now. You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
