Selle de Chevreuil au Genièvre

Chef Juliette

Selle de Chevreuil au Genièvre

A lean venison saddle, carefully larded and roasted pink, meets gin burned clean in the tray, one juniper berry, reduced cream, and poivrade, with barely sweet apples keeping the dark sauce bright.

Selle de Chevreuil avec Sauces Diverses

Chef Juliette

Selle de Chevreuil avec Sauces Diverses

Roebuck saddle roasted rosy and carved thick, with a choice of five classical sauces that prove the accompaniment is not an accessory here: it gives the dish its proper name and final character.

Noisettes et Côtelettes de Chevreuil

Chef Juliette

Noisettes et Côtelettes de Chevreuil

Lean venison, fierce heat, and no dawdling: fresh noisettes meet foaming butter, marinated cutlets meet smoking oil, then croûtons turn a fast sear into a generous classical platter.

Côtelettes de Chevreuil Conti

Chef Juliette

Côtelettes de Chevreuil Conti

Hot-sautéed venison, just pink at the center, stands in a crown with salted tongue, while white-wine poivrade gleams over the meat and a light buttered lentil purée waits alongside.

Côtelettes de Chevreuil Diane

Chef Juliette

Côtelettes de Chevreuil Diane

Noisettes de Chevreuil au Genièvre

Chef Juliette

Noisettes de Chevreuil au Genièvre

Noisettes de Chevreuil Romanoff

Chef Juliette

Noisettes de Chevreuil Romanoff

Noisettes de Chevreuil Walkyrie

Chef Juliette

Noisettes de Chevreuil Walkyrie

Noisettes de Chevreuil Walkyrie sets tender roebuck over crisp Pommes Berny, then crowns each with grilled mushroom and Soubise. A peppery venison reduction binds the formal architecture into one generous dish.

Civet de Chevreuil

Chef Juliette

Civet de Chevreuil

Civet de chevreuil turns hard-working venison cuts into a wine-dark braise, then asks one honest question: will hare's blood give the sauce its defining civet finish, or will you serve the excellent stew it becomes without it?

Boar and Young Boar (Sanglier et Marcassin)

Chef Juliette

Boar and Young Boar (Sanglier et Marcassin)

Sanglier et Marcassin teaches restraint: choose a truly young animal, preserve its natural fat, and let the prepared Provençal cold daube set the saddle into clean slices with glossy gravy and aspic.

Hare and Leveret (Lièvre et Levraut)

Chef Juliette

Hare and Leveret (Lièvre et Levraut)

Young hare, browned deeply and braised gently in red wine, teaches the grammar of game cookery: age chooses the method, fond deepens the sauce, and a bare simmer protects the lean meat.

Lièvre Farci à la Perigourdine

Chef Juliette

Lièvre Farci à la Perigourdine

Whole hare, larded and filled with its own offal, blood, bacon, bread, and Périgord truffle, braised gently in white wine and glazed at the last moment with a glossy truffle game sauce.

Râble de Lièvre

Chef Juliette

Râble de Lièvre

Lean hare teaches precision: trim every tendon, lard the râble finely, roast it with nerve, then turn its fond into a glossy red-wine jus for four at the home table.

Râble de Lièvre à l’Allemande

Chef Juliette

Râble de Lièvre à l’Allemande

A lean hare saddle roasts over the marinade vegetables, then finishes under cream: disciplined timing, constant basting, and a few drops of lemon turn spare game into a generous platter.

Râble de Lièvre au Genièvre

Chef Juliette

Râble de Lièvre au Genièvre

A roasted saddle of hare, kept juicy beneath its browned surface, with gin, poivrade, cream, and juniper drawn into one strained sauce: the lesson is reduction with restraint.

Cuisses de Lièvre

Chef Juliette

Cuisses de Lièvre

Young hare legs larded with fine bacon and roasted like the Râble, then rested while their pan fond becomes a glossy red-wine jus: lean game kept succulent by disciplined heat.

Filets de Levraut à la Dampierre

Chef Juliette

Filets de Levraut à la Dampierre

Truffle-contised leveret fillets and tenderloins stand around their own silken mousseline, with chestnuts, mushrooms, onions, and a peppery poivrade made from every drop of cooking liquor.

Filets de Levraut à la Mornay

Chef Juliette

Filets de Levraut à la Mornay

Leveret collops and buttered croûtons meet slice for slice with black truffle, then a pale Madeira glaze is strained, mounted with cold butter, and poured over the lot. The lesson is timing; the reward is gloss.

Filets de Levraut à la Vendome

Chef Juliette

Filets de Levraut à la Vendome

Hare loins are contised with truffle, curved into poached rings, anchored on game forcemeat and filled with tenderloin, mushroom and poivrade, while chestnut purée waits alongside.

Mousses et Mousselines de Lièvre

Chef Juliette

Mousses et Mousselines de Lièvre

Hare, egg white, and half-whipped cream become a remarkably light game forcemeat, gently cooked as one generous mousse or four individual mousselines in a quiet bain-marie.

Soufflé de Lièvre

Chef Juliette

Soufflé de Lièvre

Hare becomes silk, then rises: a cold-worked mousseline folded with two egg whites, baked bronze and finished with glossy hare fumet, butter-tossed minion fillets, and black truffle.

Civet de Lièvre

Chef Juliette

Civet de Lièvre

Hare, red wine, bacon, and the liaison that decides the whole dish: build the roux golden, braise at a tremble, then bind with blood off the boil for a sauce of dark, lucid gloss.
