Frederick County, MD FHFH coordinator Dave Riordan (center) received the check for the donation to FHFH from The Great Lisbon Farmers Feeding the Hungry Christmas Horse Parade.

The Great Lisbon Farmers Feeding the Hungry Christmas Horse Parade distributed donations from the 2018 Parade during the Howard County Farm Bureau Legislative Dinner. Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry was given $2,500 which will help get more deer processed for local food banks and feeding ministries in Central Maryland this year.

We appreciate the donation to our ministry and all the hard work that went into this parade.

Venison Bottom Round with Colcannon, Frizzled Leeks and Caraway Seed Carrot Puree

By Bobbie Jo Wasilko
He Hunts She Cooks

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

3 pound Venison Bottom Round *(substitute bottom butt, shoulder, or 4 large shanks)
2-12 ounce Bottles Guinness or Kaliber (non-alcoholic) beer
3 cups Beef Stock (low sodium) or Venison Stock
1 Leek (white and light green parts only)
1 Large Onion
2 Carrots
2 Celery Stalks
2 Tbs. Tomato Paste
1 tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1 Tbs. Onion Powder
3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 Bay Leaves
1 tsp. Caraway Seed (fennel or anise seed)
3 Tbs. All Purpose Flour

Instructions:
*The venison can be made 1-2 days ahead and gently re-heated on top of the stove over low heat.

1. Bring the venison to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.
3. Season the meat with salt and pepper.
4. Coat the venison with flour and shake off the excess, and set meat aside.
5. Rinse the leeks to remove all dirt and sand. Then dice the leeks (white and light green parts only), onion, carrots, celery and set aside.
6. Mince the garlic and set aside.
7. Coat a large frying pan with oil and heat to medium-high.
8. Add the venison and brown on both sides, then remove to a large casserole dish, roaster, or dutch oven.
9. Turn down the heat to medium and add the chopped vegetables to the frying pan and sauté until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
10. Add the minced garlic and tomato paste and sauté a minute.
11. Add 1/2 cup Guinness/Kaliber over the vegetables to de-glaze the pan.
12. Pour all the vegetables, remaining Guinness/Kaliber, stock, spices, herbs, and all remaining ingredients over the venison and cover.
13. Place in the oven to braise 3-5 hours. Check at 3-1/2 hours and return to the oven until the meat is tender, if needed.
14. Once the venison is tender when pierced with a fork, remove the venison and discard the bay leaves and thyme stems.

**Serving Suggestion: Serve the venison with traditional Irish Colcannon (mashed potatoes with kale and leeks).

Helping Those in Need Since 1997

Do you remember when McDonald's listed how many total hamburgers they had served at the bottom of their signs? The numbers were in the millions. Then the billions. Then just "billions and billions." Eventually that line disappeared from the signs. I guess we got the message - they've sold a LOT of hamburgers!

In the early years of our ministry, a group of volunteers helped serve the evening meal at a local church soup kitchen. As the meal concluded a young girl proclaimed that the spaghetti with venison meat sauce had tasted even better than her meal at McDonald's the night before. One of the volunteers asked the cook how this family could afford to eat out one night then end up at a soup kitchen the next. She replied, "Oh I know that family. They eat from the dumpster behind the restaurant."

Thanks to the Lord's provision through generous supporters and friends like you, FHFH has been able to help hunters feed a lot more children and families. Since 1997 we have provided over 20 million servings of nutritious meat from donated deer and livestock to the hungry of the local communities we serve!

Now we need to keep going. Food banks list meat among their top needs. And as you know, the hunters who donate their deer know where to find it! We just need to continue raising enough money to pay our participating local butcher shops to process the meat for the food banks and ministries so they can help more families like the one mentioned in my story above.

On behalf of FHFH and all those in our country suffering from hunger, we THANK YOU for your continued interest and support of our mission. Together let's work to add the next "million served" to our sign this year!

Sincerely,

Josh Wilson
Executive Director
