Dove

[kyleb]

I have a dozen dove breasts to cook for dinner, I've never cooked dove. Any advice?

stuff with jalepeno and garlic, wrap fully in bacon, throw on the grill!! mmmmm-mmmm goooood!!!

Be carefull, dove, like any game bird, tends to dryout very easy...You can do what Jwin said and wrap with bacon or "barding"

I would split the breast (boneless/skinless) stuff with Feta chees and sundried tomato,a little mashed garlic, wrap with bacon or thinly sliced prosciutto. Sear them on all sides and roast for about 15-30 min. depending on the size.

i then will make a chipotle sauce, which is basically a 1/2cup ketchup, 1 chipotle (from a can is fine) juice of 2 lemons, pinch salt, pepper, a little cilantro and mix well. you can add a little whiskey or bourbon to the sauce to thin it out...not more that 3oz. slice the breast at an angle and serve with a wild rice pilaf or some garlic mashed potatoes...

I would listen to this guy. Sounds damn good to me.

The others sound good too.

Either one would work extremely well.. I just want to emphasis how careful you need to be not to over cook... they dry out Extremely Quick.

Enjoy em

So when should I be there? I'll bring the smokes.:smokingco

 

[kyleb]

Bacon seems like a sure bet.

Daviso, I'm going to go with your way I think, sounds pretty damn good.

D - Amanda gets off at 6, I'm starting shortly after :smokingbo

 

[uncelnino]

Let us know how it turns out, it sure sounds good....what stick will you have to finish the meal off, that is the real queston.

Bacon wrapped with fresh herbs like thyme, oregano and rosemary; dash of citrus, garlic, salt and pepper; roasted or grilled, that's it!

Enjoy.

quick threadjack:
where did you go?
i got a couple on monday up off the ortega nothing special but i didnt have enough time to go farther.. i might be going down near jwintosh this weekend...el centro!

I love grilling dove, but it's also really good fried.

When I was a kid, we'd bring home plenty of birds, so Mom would lightly bread the breasts, and fry them in a skillet with a little bit of peanut oil like a round steak. Serve with biscuits and gravy, some fresh green beans and you have a feast. Delicious.

Very nice! I've done that same stuffnig with chicken breast only added 2 spinach leaves and deleted the chipotle sauce. I've always seasoned, seared and grilled or baked. I think i'll try the chipotle next time though. Sounds yummy.
