Venison carpaccio with a Chinese 5 spice dust, shaved parmesan and grapes.

We had springbok tartare in Johannesburg once that had been marinated in some concoction of spice I'll never forget.  The dominant note being star anise.  I decided to use a Chinese 5 spice mix on some venison.  Sliced paper thin (freezing first helps this).  The grapes added a slight sweet acidity that balanced especially with the parmesan.  Elegant and delicious starter.
