Method

To prepare the labneh, line a fine sieve with a piece of muslin or a double layer of paper towels and place over a deep bowl. In another bowl, combine yoghurt and salt. Pour into the cloth - lined bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Discard the whey. Place the labneh into a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat the oven to 200oC. Line a shallow oven dish with baking paper. Place the beetroot into the dish and drizzle over olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 - 25 mins until almost tender. Stir in pomegranate molasses and roast for another 5 - 10 mins until beetroot is tender.

Remove Silver Fern Farms Venison Roast from the fridge and packaging, cut in half lengthwise then allow to bloom at room temperature for 10 mins.

To prepare the dukkah, place pistachio nuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and kawakawa or basil into a food processor. Process until it has the consistency of chunky breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.

Rub venison with oil and season. Heat a BBQ over med-high heat and sear the venison for 3 - 4 mins on each side for med-rare. Remove from heat, cover loosely, and allow to rest for 5 mins.

Meanwhile, place the butter into a small saucepan and cook over med heat until lightly browned. Stir in pomegranate molasses.

Brush venison with brown butter glaze then coat in dukkah.

To serve, slice venison across the grain into 1 cm slices. Spread a layer of labneh onto a serving platter. Top with beetroot and the sliced venison. Drizzle over remaining brown butter glaze and sprinkle with microgreens.
