Ingredients
For the grilled game:

- Marinade (a mixture of olive oil, red wine, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper)
- 1 medium broccoli
- 50 g butter (for drizzling)
For the berry sauce:
- 200 g fresh or frozen blackberries
- 200 g fresh or frozen raspberries

- 1 tablespoon of white flour

- 100 ml flavored red wine
For the rolls:
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 2 eggs
- 5 tablespoons of white flour
- Salt to taste

Preparation
Step 1: Marinating the game meat
1. In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients: 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 200 ml of red wine, 2 crushed garlic cloves, a few sprigs of thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the game meat and ensure it is completely covered by the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight, to tenderize.
Step 2: Preparing the berry sauce
1. In a pan, melt 50 g of butter over medium heat.
2. Add the blackberries and raspberries and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become slightly soft.
3. Dissolve the flour in a small bowl with 200 ml of water. Add the mixture to the pan, stirring constantly.
4. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and add 100 ml of flavored red wine. Let the sauce simmer on low heat to infuse the flavors.
Step 3: Preparing the rolls
1. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix well until you get a smooth dough.
2. Shape into sticks about 8-10 cm long and 2 cm thick.
3. Boil the rolls in salted water for 5-7 minutes until they rise to the surface.
4. Remove them and let them drain on a paper towel.
5. In a pan, melt a little butter and fry the rolls until golden and crispy on all sides.
Step 4: Preparing the broccoli
1. Boil the broccoli in salted water for 3-4 minutes until it becomes vibrant green and slightly crisp.
2. Drain the broccoli and drizzle it with hot butter for added flavor.
Step 5: Cooking the game meat
1. Preheat the grill or a cooking pan to medium temperature.
2. Remove the game meat from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the meat and your cooking preferences. Game meat is delicious when cooked medium-rare, preserving its juiciness.
Step 6: Assembling and serving
1. Arrange the game meat on a platter, alongside the golden rolls and butter-drizzled broccoli.
2. Pour the berry sauce over the meat or serve it separately in a bowl.
3. Garnish with a few fresh thyme or dill leaves for an attractive appearance.
