So my dear sweet husband went dove hunting yesterday (a mourning dove is pictured at left). He got a hunting license and borrowed the gun...I won't go into all the details, but now I have dove meat in my fridge and need to figure out how to cook it....
Hmmm. I'll let you know how that turns out. I think frying it will be the answer because almost everything tastes OK fried.
The husband thought I would enjoy hunting. Um, NO. I told him I would rather shoot cans or targets or hay bales.
UPDATE: I marinated the meat overnight in Italian dressing, then wrapped the breasts in bacon and pan fried them till the bacon browned. I then baked the dove in the oven for an hour. I did not try it because dove is a dark meat (I do not like dark meat)...anyhoo, the husband tried it and did not care for it. I am unsure if it was the preparation or the taste.
Maybe he didn't like it because you're not supposed to eat doves!! :)
ReplyDeleteHehehehehe, that's sounds like Alexis...she was freaked out about the whole situation.
ReplyDeleteDoves are birds of peace, you aren't supposed to shoot them, right?
ew ew ew!
ReplyDeleteJen, I know we both passionately dislike birds so think of it as less birds in the world to swoop and fly at our heads
