MAKE THE MASH
Place the Potato into a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
Hazelnuts
Boil the kettle. Place the Hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and roughly chop. Set aside.
SALAD
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and add seasoning. Just before serving, toss through the salad leaves and the Radish.
MUSHIES
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the mushrooms until soft and golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan and season.
CAFÉ AU LAIT SAUCE
Place a saucepan over medium heat with 100ml [150ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water, the stock, and ½ [all]|#7DA0D7 the ground coffee. Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-5 minutes.

VENISON
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the venison dry with paper towel. Sear the venison until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare).
