Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup chopped onion
4 ounces sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
Roasted Bosc Pears
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/3 cup dried currants
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 2 1/2-pound rack of venison, frenched (8 bones)
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 heads of garlic, cloves separated, root ends trimmed, unpeeled

Heat large skillet over high heat. Add venison; cook until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place venison atop vegetables in pan. Roast until thermometer inserted into center registers 120°F for rare, about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Carve between bones; serve with vegetables.
