Method

Remove Silver Fern Farms Venison Medallions from the fridge and packaging and allow to bloom at room temperature for 10 mins.

Mix together the oil, horopito, garlic and balsamic, and rub over the Venison Medallions.

Preheat the fry-pan or BBQ to medium-high.

Pan-fry for 2-3 mins on each side for medium-rare.

Transfer to a plate, cover, and rest for 5 mins.

Line a tray with baking paper. In a small pan melt the butter and sugar together. Once bubbling, add the walnuts and stir to coat. Pour the nuts onto the baking tray and leave to cool. Once cool, cut into small pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix together the ingredients for the kawakawa dressing and set aside.

Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Lightly oil the kūmara and season with salt and pepper. Lay flat on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 mins until cooked through.

Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add croutons, and gently toss until slightly golden and crisp.

To serve, add all the ingredients to a dish and drizzle the dressing over the top.
