Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Heat a medium saucepan filled with salted hot water on high heat. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked. Add the kale for the final 2-3 mins of cooking, then drain altogether.
  2. Dissolve half the stock cube in a jug with 200ml boiling water (100ml for 1 person). Finely dice the onion. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 5-6 mins, until soft. Season with sea salt.
  3. Meanwhile, finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly slice the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms, venison, two-thirds of the paprika and half the garlic to the pan. Cook for 6-8 mins, until the mince is golden brown. Add the stock, tomato puree and cream. Stir then simmer for 6-8 mins, until thickened slightly.
  4. Roughly chop the parsley. Stir the peas and half the parsley through the stroganoff. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then remove from the heat.
  5. Zest half the lemon. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic and paprika and cook for 1-2 mins, then add the zest, cooked rice and kale. Toss to combine. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Finish the stroganoff with a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste). Serve in bowls alongside the rice. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
