Notes

Recipe Tips:

For a more intense flavour, marinate the venison overnight in the refrigerator.
If you don't have Manuka honey, you can substitute regular honey.
To prevent the kebabs from sticking to the grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Do not overcrowd the grill; cook the kebabs in batches to ensure even cooking.
Let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the venison kebabs with steamed rice or noodles.
Add a side of fresh salad for a balanced meal.
For a festive touch, serve the kebabs with a dollop of Manuka honey yoghurt sauce.
