I made this on one of those days where I didn't know what I was going to make for dinner, didn't have the right ingredients for what I first decided on, and then the pivot turned out way better than what I was wanting in the first place.
I took a dive into our deep freezer, and decided to play with some loin chops - something I don't usually cook!
If you have some venison loin chops, you'll want to make this. I'm so used to always eating backstraps, tenderloins, and random deer steaks, that I totally underestimated the loin chops, and I am newly hooked! I'll for sure be requesting these cuts from the hubs’ harvest next year! ⠀
