    Shape into 4 thick ovals, slapping out the air, and press a dimple into the centre of each.+

    Brown in the oil over medium heat for 3 minutes per side, then cover and cook on low for 8–10 minutes until the centre reaches 71 °C (game meat must be cooked through).+

  • Wild game can carry parasites — cook to at least 71 °C / 160 °F unless it is farmed, inspected meat.
