I made these little venison and cheese sandwiches for a party. I knew there would be a lot of food, and a lot of non-venison eaters. I wanted something light and tasty. Abe the host, an avid hunter and venison lover himself, said I HAD to put this in the cookbook, I could make them whenever I came to his house, and then proceeded to eat most of them himself. Iâ€™d say they were a hit.

Recipe: Asiago Sandwiches

Ingredients

20 Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon rinsed, drained, and chopped capers

Fresh cracked black pepper
Asiago cheese slices, package of 12 slices
24 arugula leaves
24 very thin slices rare roast venison

Instructions

Combine Kalamata olives, capers, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy paste, and pepper. Mix well and set aside. You can save the leftovers for up to two weeks.
