  1. CORNBREAD MIX

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a loaf tin or a small baking dish in the oven to heat up. Heat 20g of butter in the microwave or in a pot over the stove until melted. In a bowl, combine the sweetcorn, the melted butter, 1 egg, and 30ml of milk or water. Mix until combined. Add the polenta, the flour, the sugar (don’t add all the sugar if you’d prefer a more savoury cornbread), and seasoning.

  2. BAKE

    Carefully remove the loaf tin or baking dish from the oven and add a drizzle of oil. Swish the oil around to make sure the base is fully greased. Pour in the batter and spread out evenly. Return to the hot oven and bake until golden and a skewer comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before turning it out. Run a knife around the edge to help turn out the cornbread. Cut into pieces as desired.

  3. ALMONDS

    Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. SPINACH & ONION

    When the cornbread is halfway, place the shredded spinach in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the spinach and fry until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  5. VENISON STEAK

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the venison dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the venison until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  6. SERVE IT!

    Plate up the cornbread. Side with the fried spinach & onion sprinkled with the toasted almonds. Serve with the venison steak slices drizzled with the BBQ sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and dive in, Chef!
