follies: Riff and rude Lordlings Yesterday morning came the first deer suckling. Ernesto has brought me to Sarrión who owns the Hotel Asturias and of course, death makes a stew! For years
use only deer Ernesto brings me, because I distrust entirely on the quality of deer hunting, in which a lot of rude snobs with a lot of dogs too rude, killed in a weekend a private preserve that which moves.
Deer outside the preserve, but half a year before brought them there, all the same size, and have nurtured to grow and be strong on the day of "killing." That day, the gentlemen and their dogs, due to the way they try to hunt fatal to animals, causing them enormous stress and kill evil. Especially not defile the hands in the act by removing the viscera, and testes, but wait until Sunday to take the photo of rigor in which gentlemen are seen with their dogs and thirty dead deer, of course all the same size . This picture then teach us proud distributors of your product. Then take the deer to the butcher to skin them and remove the innards. The quality of this meat is bad, hard and with a strong flavor while unpleasant.
contrast selective hunting practices Ernesto (my hunter Sarrión) is totally different. It has three permits for Universal Montes de Aragón and autumn leaves with his dog and the ranger to kill selected animals.
deer pass every morning on the same roads, and forest knows exactly how many animals there, the monitoring and care. It decided to "remove" certain animals (because there is no natural enemy, the wolf) to not make too many power struggles between them, also decided to "remove" a small animal to maintain balance in the forest because if there too compromised the growth of trees, shrubs, etc ... Ernesto
I sold my small deer of outstanding quality.
When the customer asks the cook at the time: after a while we put on the plate in the oven to heat up only to 80 º C and a probe indicates when the center reaches 45 ° C, after about 20-25 minutes .
This dish was served with sautéed fruits of autumn, we both fungi (blue foot, trumpets, chanterelles etc ...) and fruit (pomegranates, dates, etc ...)
The deer meat is very tender and tasty. You do not have that flavor "cazorro" On the contrary, is very pleasant in the mouth. For me a joy.
Greetings Bernd
