Grilled roe deer chops on potato rösti and grilled vegetables with elderberry and red wine reduction and caramelized figs
The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is a small to medium-sized wild animal in the deer family. It lives primarily in Europe and parts of Asia. Roe deer are known for their slender build, reddish-brown coat in summer, and gray-brown winter coat. Male deer have short, branched antlers, which they shed and regrow annually. They are herbivores and feed on grasses, herbs, leaves, and buds. Roe deer are crepuscular and prefer forests, field edges, and open landscapes. These chops come from roe deer and are tender, lean pieces of meat from the animal's back. They are considered particularly delicious and are often prepared in fine cuisine.
