Ingredients:
- 1lb ground venison
- 1lb ground beef
- ½ cup diced dried cherries
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ½ tbsp chopped fresh sage leaves
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp ghee or tallow (or other cooking oil of choice)
Process:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground venison, ground beef, dried cherries, sea salt, fresh thyme, fresh sage, red pepper flakes, if including, and maple syrup. Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients until everything is evenly combined.
- Form the mixture into balls just larger than a golf ball – you should get 16 equally sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment lined sheet pan and use the back of a spatula to press them into thin patties, about 1 inch thick.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ghee to the pan. Add the patties to the hot pan in small batches, ensuring the pan is never overcrowded. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Store in the fridge for 4-5 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven a 350F for 8-10 minutes or until warmed through.
