NORWEGIAN FRIED VENISON CUTLET with Currant Sauce & BRAISED RED CABBAGE
THIS IS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES! If you don't hunt your own deer or elk, you can purchase venison in a specialty gourmet store, such as Wild Oats, etc.) NOTE: If you don't eat or can't obtain venison, you may substitute beef filets or veal cutlets.
