Ingredients
600g saddle of venison,
olive oil,
salt
For the garnish:
500g potatoes,
300ml cream,
salt,
black pepper,
20g butter,
breadcrumbs
For the sauce:
100ml jus,
100ml coffee,

Method
Clean the saddle of lamb and cut it in half lengthwise. Season with salt and rub with oil. Wrap each piece tightly in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for a day. The next day, unwrap and flash-fry in a pan and then roast in a 140°C oven for 15 minutes. Then cover loosely with foil and leave to rest until required.
Peel the potatoes, slice them thinly and mix with the cream, salt and pepper. Place in a heatproof dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and drizzle with a little melted butter. Bake for 50 minutes at 160°C.
For the sauce, heat the jus with the other ingredients and boil for a few minutes.
