  • 3 cm fresh ginger
  • 400 ml red wine
  • butter cube (ice cold)
  • Salt
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • honey
  • 8 venison schnitzels (≈90 g each)
  • clarified butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the plums, halve and pit them, then quarter. Peel and finely chop the shallot and ginger; gently sauté in a little butter, then deglaze with red wine. Add the plums and reduce the sauce over low heat until slightly thickened and the fruit is soft. Season with salt, pepper and a touch of honey, then bind the sauce with ice‑cold butter.

  2. 2.

    Wash the venison schnitzels, pat dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter in a pan and brown the schnitzels on both sides until golden brown. Plate with plum sauce and serve immediately. A fresh leafy salad pairs well.
