I've been using recipes from this site for years and HAD to register today because these were SO delicious I needed to write a review. I didn't have venison, so used elk. I also couldn't find sun-dried tomato phyllo cups so I minced some sun-dried tomato and added to the meatballs and used regular phyllo cups. Used mango Major Grey's chutney and they were AWESOME! Will definitely be making these again.

but this recipe is just great. Made it as a gift for the friend who gave us the venison. I couldn't find phyllo cups, so subbed some puff pastry cups and when those ran out, just toasted some plain small baguette rounds. Made the meatballs much smaller to accommodate - about 2-3 bites per toast - and everyone loved them. Put the onion and garlic through the mini-processor, and since our Hungarian friend insists that all ground venison must be cooked with a little bacon, added about 2 thick slices of applewood smoked, very finely diced. Served them with other nibbles and they tasted so good with the nuts that I am going to add some crushed walnuts to the meatballs next time. If you can find it, I, a confirmed chutney skeptic, whole-heartedly recommend Sun Brand Mango Chutney, the original Major Grey's - chunks of fruit, whole raisins, and a bit of spice, wonderful. Also used Sun Brand's Madras curry powder.

Prepared a double recipe of the meat mixture the night before deer camp. The day of camp, formed into meatballs, cooked and served 30 meatballs on plain phyllo cups with Major Grey's chutney. They were gone before I could get to them! (Luckily, I had taste-tested the recipe myself a week earlier.

For a lot of people who hunt, you end up with a bunch of deer burger that you don't exactly know what to use it for...

but this one is great for entertaining! we skipped the phyllo cups and plated directly, and has been a hit at every function! try his stuffed shrimp as well.
