Venison and Horopito Bierstick Pasta Salad with Kasundi
Method
- Cook pasta as per packet instructions, drain, run some cold water through it, and set aside to cool
- Slice bier sticks, the white of the spring onions (setting aside the green) and red capsicum into similar sized pieces
- Place a fry pan on a medium heat and cook off the bierstick pieces until the oils start to come out, then add in the spring onion and capsicum
- Cook until the vegetables are tender then remove from the heat
- Add the olive oil to the pan, and allow vegetables to cool
- Slice the lettuce into approx
- 2cm ribbons
- Slice the greens of the spring onions
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, spring onions, and parsley
- Add in the cooled pasta, bier sticks and vegetables and toss to combine
- Ensure you get all of the oil from the fry pan in there; that is your dressing
- Season to taste
- Serve with approximately ¼ of a cup of kasundi dolloped over top
- Add more if you like it hot, reduce it if not
- It is nice and spicy
- This is the perfect picnic salad, or make-in-advance summer dinner! Enjoy!
