Venison: a meat appreciated by all Mauritians
At the approach of winter, the opening of the hunt marks the arrival of venison meat on the stalls and a selection of meals in the plates for the pleasure of everyone. Stewed, baked, grilled or burger, the deer, considered the king of game, offers a thin, lean and tasty meat and is very popular to gourmets.
With much less fat than beef, deer meat has very few calories and is a good source of protein. Tender and fragrant, it is ideal for festive meals because it can be prepared in advance to make the most of your guests. At the Club House, our Chef will make you discover and taste the culinary flavours around the venison. He gives us one of his recipes: "Dry Deer Curry", usually accompanied by rice, grains and hachards. We invite you to try it at home but also at the Club House restaurant.
