Dove

[Mud Creek]

poppers are great but tried something different. Seared Dove with chimichuri sauce. Really good!

Very nice! We still have a few left over seasoned and ready to cook. Not sure how I want to do them, but that looks promising. Care to share your chimichurri recipe?

 

[Mud Creek]

Sure

1 cup chopped parsley
1 cup chopped cilantro
4 radishes finely chopped
1/2 a red onion finely chopped
1-2 jalapenos(depending on how much heat you like) finely chopped
6 tablespoons of lemon juice

The recipe called for 2/3 cup of olive oil. I started with that but had to add a little more. I also put a couple pinches of salt in mine.

Stupid autocorrect. Supposed to be dressed

That reminds me. I need to pluck the next ones I kill and leave them whole. I want to try the recipe I saw on the meat eater dove hunting episode. I don't remember it off the top of my head but I have it wrote down. He bastes them with white wine, honey, and a few other ingredients and then grills them. They looked really good!

I definitely prefer to cook and eat skin on doves. I need stuff a couple next time.

What would you stuff it with? Personally, I'm in Alton Brown's corner about stuffing poultry......don't. But I would imagine a small dove is probably a much more successful recipient of stuffing than a giant turkey would be. I'd be interested to hear.

Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze on a dove, but maybe sausage or sausage and rice to add more fat? One way to find out if it works. I'm not one to cross Alton Brown either though.

Here's what we did this week. Pic courtesy of Mrs. TAFKAP's "BalancedNutrition901" public pages on FB & Instagram. The method is loosely borrowed from Garden & Gun recently. Basically, skewers of seasoned dove breasts, white onion, proscuitto, and figs.
