Warning: no bacon, sour cream, nor Italian salad dressing were used in the making of this dove meal!!
I know - blasphemy,,,,,,,
anyhow,,,,,,,,as I was cleaning my dove from the other day,,,,I released the legs came off whole very easily,,,,,don't know why I never noticed this before,,,,,,so I took the legs, the hearts, the gizzards, and the breasts,,,,,,,,cleaned 'em up and got them ready.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sautéed Dove Pieces
5 dove (or as many as you want)
extra virgin olive oil
butter
2 jalapenos
Cracker Boy seasoning mix
ground black pepper
I filleted the meat off the breast bone,,,patted them semi-dry,,,,inspected for random feathers and such,,,,,,,
get a skillet hot with EVOO, a tablespoon of butter,,,,,when butter melts add the jalapenos and sauté them to infuse the flavor in the EVOO/butter,,,,,
then seasoned the pieces to preference with the Cracker Boy and black pepper,,,,,,
toss them in the pan and brown on each side then turn down some and cook till done,,,,,the filleted breasts still took about 4 - 5 minutes longer than the other pieces,,,,,
meanwhile,,,,I had some Boudin on the grill (I prefer it grilled versus steamed) and had some duck I seasoned and grilled for the next days "hunt lunch),,,,,,,
the Boudin turned out nice,,,,,,,,not sure if I go to Lousiana each fall/winter for the ducks or for the Boudin!!
anyhow,,,,served it up with some kimchi and fresh garden cucumbers,,,,,,,,,
