Using minced venison in place of beef gives a leaner burger with a light, gamey flavour. The venison is mixed with crushed juniper berries, a classic combination. Juniper tastes of pine – it's tart, sharp with an overall citrus flavour, so it makes these burgers a little different. They are cooked and served just like a cheeseburger, but it's the sweet chilli sauce on the side which makes all the difference.
