Cook It
- In a very hot fry pan seal the loins, just a few seconds per side. Season with salt and cracked pepper and reserve.
- In a bowl, whisk the honey and the vinegar until well mixed. Keep whisking and add the oil slowly to emulsify. Then chop and incorporate the rosemary and the soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place a spoonful of the vinaigrette on the plate. With a sharp knife slice the venison thinly and place overlapping slices in the center of the plate. Garnish with the rocket and nasturtium leaves, calendula flowers and shaved parmesan.
