Venison Green Chili Recipe

Print Recipe

Spicy green chilies are the perfect pairing with elk, antelope, and other venison, and a long slow braise both tempers the heat of the chilies and turns tough meat tender. I love shanks for this recipe, but any cut of venison will do. It's especially great with neck meat, too.
