Preparation

Place the venison meat in a vacuum bag with mL 30 of gin, tonic, juniper berries, and the bay leaf, conditioned at 99%. Leave to rest for 30′.
Prepare a cream by browning the onion in a pan with a drizzle of oil, add the peas and cook for 5′. When cooked, add two mint leaves and emulsify.
Heat up a flat non-stick pan and, when hot, melt the butter and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Put the meat to cook on each side. Season with salt and pepper. It is important that each side of the meat is well browned so that the outside is crisp and the inside is pink and tender.
Finally, blend everything with the remaining gin. Let the meat rest for a few seconds on a cutting board, covered with foil, and then cut it into discs of about 1 cm.
Place the cream and the loin in a serving dish and garnish with two mint leaves. Season with a drizzle of oil and, if necessary, salt and pepper.
