We make venison pasties.- Very basic, but also v tasty. Make the venison into a stew - your usual beef recipe. mash it up . take off some of the gravy and pop it into puff pastry 3" circles folded over.

Maybe a cottage pie.

Stew the venison in stock with some carrots, onions, maybe some turnips, all diced. Add some cooked green peas. Season to taste (rosemary is a natural with venison). Thicken the sauce.

Fill a casserole dish with the mixture Pipe some mashed potatoes over it all, to form a top crust, leaving the center open. Dot with butter, sprinkle with paprika, and bake until hot and bubbly.

As you can see from most everyone's threads, slow cooking is the way too go. Chili, stew, or other slow and low moist heat cooking is probably the best. I am guessing that because this is diced that the cuts are probably tougher cuts that require this type of cooking. So, my suggestion would be to leave it in the freezer until fall when you can pull it out and make a killer chili with it. The other option, more suited to summer type cooking would be to grind it up, mix it with pork and make some sausage out of it that you can then grill.
