Method

Preheat the oven to 150C.
Generously season the venison osso buco. In a heavy based saucepan, caramelise the venison until golden brown, then remove from the pan and set aside. Into the pan add the onions and cook down until they are translucent. Then add the garlic and cook off for around 5 minutes.
To the pan ddd the bay leaves, rosemary, chestnuts, red cabbage and orange zest, cook for further 5 minutes. Then add the venison back to the pan along with the honey and half the stock. Bring the pan to the boil, then add the rest of the stock and place the pan into the oven.
Gently slow cook in the oven for around 4 hours, or until the sauce has thickened and the meat is soft and tender. You may need to top up the liquid.
Serve hearty portions of the venison osso buco alongside creamy mash.
