In playing with alternative options I have found that parsnips and roasted garlic are the magic combination to take cauliflower mash to another level. Elk is very lean and also very tender when cooked slowly on low heat (or quickly on high heat). It is very low in calories, fat and cholesterol and high in protein. Hints: I cook a batch of bacon in advance and keep in the freezer to add at the end.
Instructions to make Brad's elk bourguignon w/ mashed cauliflower and parsnips:
- Chop bacon and fry off in a LG frying pan. Remove to a LG dutch oven.
- Meanwhile, cut elk roast into 1 inch cubes. Remove all silver skin, fat, or tendon.
- Mix flour and seasonings in a LG bowl.
- Fry onion and garlic in the bacon grease until sweated and translucent. Do not brown.
- Add the onion, garlic, basil, beef stock, and wine to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil.
- Add oil to the bacon fat. Roll elk in flour. Knock off excess flour and fry in batches. Add to dutch oven when done. In between batches remove flour from pan and add a little oil.
- Simmer the mixture for 1 1/2 to 2 hours uncovered. Stir often. This should reduce and thicken up nicely.
- Meanwhile add parsnips and cauliflower to a saucepot. Just cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until just tender. Drain water. Add rest of parsnip ingredients and mash until smooth, but slightly chunky.
- When sauce thickens and elk is tender, slice baguette on a bias. Butter and slightly toast. Spread creme fraiche over baguette. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with elk and sauce. Serve parsnips on the side. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
Browning the meat is key to the rich flavour. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Transfer the mashed cauliflower and parsnips to a serving plate, top with the garlic butter mushrooms and garnish with chopped chives. This roasted cauliflower & parsnip mash is a flavorful and simple seasonal side dish. If you've never had parsnips before, they have a very similar texture to a potato when mashed, and have much more of a root vegetable flavor.
