What starter goes with venison?

I make these delicious onion crustinis that people go nuts over. Caramelize onions in er and olive oil for about 15 minutes. Then stir in diced olives, fresh or dried thyme, and either some anchovies or a little caesar salad dressing for a little extra flavor. Finally, when the whole mixture is heated through cut a large baguette in half long ways and put it on a baking sheet. Put the onion mixture on the baguette and bake in the oven on 350 for about 15 minutes. Delicious.
