I absolutely love cooking with game – I'm a country girl, a farmer's daughter, and it's part of my life. People often don't realize how versatile – and how healthy - game is to cook and eat. There's a huge variety available – from snipe and partridge to venison and hare, and so many ways of preparing it, from traditional old-fashioned and delicious roast pheasant wrapped in bacon to a modern-day venison
burger stuffed with blue cheese. - Rachel Green.

Cooking Time: 0 Hours & 0 Mins

1. Blitz all marinade ingredients, except the oil and yoghurt, in a food processor, or chop very finely. 2. Stir in the oil and yoghurt and add the cubed venison, mixing well to ensure all pieces of the meat are covered. 3. Leave to marinate in the fridge for several hours, preferably overnight. 4. Drain the meat and thread onto skewers so the cubes do not touch. Grill or barbecue for about 15 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the marinade. 5. For the sauce: coarsely grate the cucumber onto a plate, sprinkle with salt and leave for 30 minutes. Press the cucumber and pour away the excess liquid. 6. Stir into the yoghurt and add the ground cumin, chopped mint leaves and lemon juice. Season to taste. 7. Serve with rice and a fresh green salad.
