Venison with blackcurrants

We did plan a cottage pie, and bought the ingredients to make it... but on our shopping trip we came across this bargain! Couldn't resist - and a couple of venison steaks entered our shopping basket. Venison seemed to be everywhere we went - so it must be a seasonal thing as you don't normally see it. The cottage pie has moved to its new slot next week!
We served the venison on a bed of stir fried cabbage with cream and bacon bits. We had some left over gnocchi, and as this was delicious, we decided to have that too. The blackcurrant sauce was simply a reduction of (tinned - would you believe) blackcurrants in fruit juice. We added a little sugar to taste and boiled to a nice sticky consistency, then pushed it all through a sieve. It complimented the venison perfectly.
Today we get to eat a full calorie allowance again. We added to that allowance by going for a longish walk - for around an hour - giving us both another 240 calories or so to eat.
