(BBQ) ELK BRISKET

1 elk brisket

As a hunter, I have found game meats, namely deer and antelope to be


excellent low fat meats. Elk meat is extremely low in fat.

When putting a larger deer roast on the BBQ I have found injecting it
with a little olive oil to help.

You might try this with the elk brisket.

In terms of "gamey" flavour to game meats. Frankly, I have found that


quite often that is more a result of poor field dressing and later
butchering, than of anything else.

I do all of my own butchering. I remove all the bones from the deer
and antelope, this has resulting in meat that is very much more tasty
than meat with the bones left in.

(BBQ) MR. WIZARD'S SMOKED DEER JERKY

1 venison; round and hip


1 salt, black pepper and
1 cayenne, coriander or
1 garlic and ginger powder or
1 chili powder, onion powder
1 allspice

You want to make the jerky the same day the deer is killed. If it is
killed and cleaned in freezing weather you can stretch that out to two
days. Aged Venison makes funky jerky. If you don't use it immediately,
freeze it and use it in amounts you can comfortably process.

The better the quality of your spices, especially the pepper, the
better your jerky will be. Simple spice blending makes the best
jerky. Try not to exceed four spices. It's not supposed to have too
complex a mix. Makes it tastes funny.

Salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne, Coriander.


Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Ginger Powder.
Salt, Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Allspice.

The round and back leg meat makes the best jerky. Everything else
should be made into sausage or chili meat.

Always cut the meat with the grain, not across. Make sure to remove
any fat and connective tissue.

If it's too tough to cut, freeze it for a couple of hours and it will
be easier to handle.

The smoke house should be 180 to 190 for the first thirty minutes and
down to 110 to 120 after that. Depending on how your drying it,
thickness and humidity it can take twelve to sixteen hours. When you
bend it and it splinters it's ready.

Mr. Wizard

IMHO save the backstrap its excellent grilled, we always cold smoked
over apple or cherry wood, salt/pepper/garlic. period. It never stayed
around long, by Christmas it was all gobbled up.

Combine bison with vinegar, pepper and 2 teaspoons of sage and


marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat the oil in a Dutch
oven and brown the bison over high heat in batches. Set aside the
meat as it@s cooked. Add the onions and garlic to the drippings in
the pan and saute 5 minutes, until beginning to brown. Add the flour
and stir to combine. Slowly stir in the wine, stock, and wild
mushrooms with their soaking liquid. Return the meat to the pan and
bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer the stew for
1-2 hours or until the bison is very tender. Stir in the fresh sage
and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve
with wild rice fritters. Serves 4.

2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
10 ml
2 teaspoon salt 10 ml
1 teaspoon crushed allspice berries 5
1 ml
2 cup fresh saskatoons,

1 processor 500 ml
1 cup minced onion 250 ml
2 tablespoon dried juniper berries,
1 soaked in boiling water to
1 soften,
1 then drained 25 ml
1 glaze:
1 cup melted red currant or
1 cranberry jelly 250 ml

These sausage patties are inspired by the traditional Native staple,


pemmican, a mixture of ground dried bison meat, fat and wild berries
which kept nomadic tribes alive over harsh prairie winters. While
these patties are panfried rather than dried like real pemmican,
they'll add some wild west flavor to your next pancake breakfast or
brunch. They also make an interesting appetizer if you form the
mixture into meatballs, brown them in the oven and serve warm, glazed
in melted cranberry or red currant jelly. From High Plains: The Joy
of Alberta Cuisine by Cinda Chavich (Fifth House).

Combine all ingredients, except jelly, and work lightly with your
hands to combine.

Form into small patties and grill or saut‚ until browned on the
outside and just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Serve
patties as an alternative to breakfast sausages.

Or to make pemmican balls to serve as appetizers, roll into


walnut-sized balls and place in a baking pan. Bake at 350øF for 30-40
minutes, until well-browned and cooked through.

Drain any accumulated fat and toss meatballs with 1 cup of melted red
current or cranberry jelly, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve
warm with toothpicks for appetizers. Makes about 16 patties or 40
meatballs. From: "Lightnin Dave" <ddobjohn@bektel.

2 ripe chiles; sliced
1 onions; peeled &
1 quartered
1 salt and pepper
1 green beans:
1/2 lb fresh green beans
1 trimmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 red onion; diced
2 cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon dried basil; * see note
1/2 cup oven dried tomatoes; in
1 olive oil**
1 teaspoon provence sea salt mixture
1 *** see note

The Venison is done in the crockpot, the beans in a


skillet.

Start the venison 5 hours before you want to eat. If


the venison seems too tough at this point, let it cook
for awhile longer until it softens. If by dinner time
it is still a bit tough, let it sit at room
temperature for awhile and then slice it against the
grain. This will make it a bit easier to eat.

Make slits in the venison roast. Put garlic and chile


slices in the slits. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over
the roast.

Cut 2 onions in quarters and place them in the bottom


of a crockpot. Put the venison roast on top of the
onions. Put a bit of water in the bottom of the
crockpot. Put the cover on and place it on LOW. Cook
for 5 hours.

1/2 hour before the roast is done, trim the beans and
wash them. Drain them well.

Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.


Add the red onion and cook until slightly softened,
about 3 minutes. Add the beans and the garlic and
saute until the beans are tender crisp. Add the
tomatoes and provencal sea salt mixture. Let it simmer
for 5 minutes to heat up the tomatoes and meld the
whole thing together.

Stir in the basil and saute for another minute. Salt

to taste.

When roast is done, remove from crockpot and let it


sit for 20 minutes to rest.

Serve slices of roast with the green beans on the


side.

Comments from other cooks:

I made this last night with 2 chillies, seeded, and it blew the roof
off our mouths--I thought I liked spicy foods! Still, once we
mellowed it with a little sour cream, we really enjoyed the flavor. I
liked the hominy, but my husband was not pleased--I'll use some corn
next time.

A fiery dish! Next time I'll use one pepper. I would also use a
better cut of meat for less prep time. For variation and to tame the
heat, corn would be a good addition as would pinquitos beans. We
thoroughly enjoyed it the second day too.

Tasty, hearty and very easy to make. Even the kids cleaned their
plates. I used one Chipotle pepper and one tablespoon of adobo sauce.
That gave the dish some kick without being too spicy for the kids. No
fan of hominy, I substituted a can of corn, drained and rinsed--the
result was colorful and delicious. I served it over rice. This dish
is great to prepare the night before. I got it to the point of adding
the corn, then refrigerated it overnight and finished it quickly the
next night. I think doing this also mellowed the slightly bitter,
smoky taste Chipotle dishes sometimes have. This dish will definitely
become a regular at our house.

(NCL) CORN STEW

1 tablespoon vegetable oil


1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 cup sweet green peppers,cored,
1 seeded, and chopped
1 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 large ears of corn (kernels cut
1 off) or 4 c. frozen corn
1 can (14 oz.) crushed tomatoes
4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon each black pepper and chili
1 powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 or to taste
2 cup zucchini or yellow summer
1 squash, thinly sliced

Pueblo Indians often simmered large pots of meat over an open fire and
added fresh vegetables, like corn and squash to the pot.

In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add
the beef and cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes or until
browned. Lower the heat, stir in the green peppers, onion, and
garlic, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until tender,
stirring occasionally.

Stir in the corn, tomatoes, Worcestershire, black pepper, chili


powder, salt, and red pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat,
cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the squash, then simmer for 5
minutes longer or until the vegetables are tender.

Note:

1. Before Indian Corn can be used for Corn Soup it must be thoroughly
dried. The corn is picked in the late fall, the husk pulled back, then
braided into three foot long bunches and hung up in the barn so the
crows can't get at it.

2. Before Indian Corn can be cooked into corn soup, it must first be
put through a process called "lying:. Lye is an extremely strong acid
found in hardwood ashes. This is what the traditional Native
Americans used as it was abundant from their campfires. This lying
process softens the outer shell somewhat and allows the two black
eyes found on each kernel of corn to be washed off after cooking. The
amount of wood ashes to be boiled with the corn is a very tricky task
to accomplish properly. Too much lye will destroy the corn and too
little will not do the job.

Therefore we leave this to the "lyers" of the tribe. The corn is


boiled with the hardwood ashes and water for about two hours. Then it
is washed to remove the eyes or hulls and to rinse the corn free of
Page 18

lye. The Tuscarora reservation has three or four "lyers" who perform
the difficult and messy task of "lying". A "lyer" will do a large
amount of corn in a day depending on how many orders she has to do
for the tribal members. I get my "lyed" corn from Mrs. Norton Rickard
of Blacknose Spring Road. Usually I order five quarts at $3.00 per
quart. I then divide it into three parts. I will freeze two of them
and cook one part...about a quart and one half. From: Mignonne

(NCL) GARBANZO BEAN STEW (CONTEMPORARY)

2 lb dried garbanzo beans


10 cup water
4 lb stew beef or venison, cut
1 into 1 cubes
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Soak the garbanzo beans overnight in twice their volume of water. The
beans will absorb much of the water and swell in size. The following
day, drain and rinse the beans under cold running water. Place the
beans in a large pot with the 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil over
high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2
hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add the meat,
onions, salt, and pepper, stir well and continue cooking another 2
hours until the meat is tender and the beans are fully cooked.

Serve hot with one of the many Indian breads, for example, Indian
Tortillas, Adobe Bread, or Piki Bread.

(NCL) INDIAN POPOVERS

1 recipe frybread dough (your


1 favorite baking powder based
1 recipe)
1 lb coarse ground beef
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 onion, minced
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can green enchilada sauce
1/2 can water
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 cheddar &/or monterey jack
1 cheese, shredded
1 tomato(s), diced
1 lettuce, shredded
1 oil (for deep frying)

"Brown" the ground beef until done, then drain off the grease. Add the
jalapeno, onion, taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, and 1/2 can of
water.

Cook this mixture according to the instructions on the taco seasoning


package. Add the pinto beans and heat through. Remove from heat and
allow to cool.

Portion out the frybread dough so that you end up with 8" diameter
circles of rolled dough 1/4-1/2" inch thick.

Spoon some of the meat mixture onto half a rolled out piece of dough,
sprinkle with the shredded cheese (if desired), and fold the other
half over to form a half-moon-shaped turnover. Seal the edges by
crimping with the tines of a fork. Deep fry the popover as you would
the fry bread (until golden brown). Drain on paper towels.

The meat and cheese will be nice and hot. Serve with lettuce,
tomatoes, more onions, and taco sauce (store bought) as desired. This
is a favorite at all of our Oglala powwows!

*Note: Adobe Bread is a yeast bread, made in the outdoor ovens called
hornos, in the Southwest. It is sold on the Plaza by Native American
vendors in Santa Fe, New Mexico however, if this bread is not
available to you, any yeast non-sour dough bread can be used and made
into the bread crumbs for this recipe. (to see a photo demonstration

To make the stuffed chiles, roast, peel and seed the chiles, keeping
them whole for stuffing. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet
over medium heat and saute the onions about 4 minutes, until
translucent. Add the ground lamb and brown15 minutes, stirring
occasionally to prevent burning. Drain off the excess fat and add the
bread crumbs, tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Decrease the
heat and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Slice the chiles lengthwise, spread them open on a work surface and
generously stuff each chile with the lamb mixture. Place the stuffed
chiles on an oiled baking pan with the open side down and set aside.

To make the puree, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook
another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until
the excess liquid evaporates. The sauce will reduce and thicken. At
this point you can pour the sauce through a fine sieve to remove the

skins or you can serve the sauce as it is. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the stuffed chiles in the
baking dish in the oven and heat until hot, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve immediately with the tomato puree. Garnish with sour cream, if
desired.

(NCL) MIGNONNE'S DEER JERKY

1 venison
1/3 cup catsup
1/3 cup strong coffee
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper or
1 cayenne

To jerk meat one doesn't necessarily have to have any seasoning at


all. Most of us like to add a little flavor though. And really any
seasoning you wish to use is fine. Experimentation is sometimes the
way to go to get something just to suit ones own taste.

Here's a marinade that I like pretty well. Usually I end up


substituting something because for some reason I can't seem to have
everything on hand at the same time that it calls for. But I don't
let that bother me. This recipe is a good one to experiment with. If
you don't have cider vinegar, then try some other type of vinegar
such as rice wine or balsamic or how about lemon or lime juice. You
can use honey, molasses or brown sugar instead of white sugar. The
red pepper or cayenne is optional or can be adjusted to taste or you
can even use black or white pepper. Instead of catsup, try cocktail
sauce. The variations are endless and the subtle changes in flavor
with each substitution can be amazing. It's good to brush on meat
when bar-b-qing, but I have used it to marinate steaks too. It is
sweet, but kind of spicy at the same time.

In a saucepan, bring ingredients to a boil. Brush on grilled meats


while cooking or use as a marinade. Yield: 1 1/3 Cup

(NCL) MUTTON STEW

1 1/2 lb mutton pieces cut for stew


1 (about 6 loin chops)
1 kidney cleaned well and
1 separated (optional)
4 potatoes (approximately)
4 carrots (approximately)
6 small onions
1 mushrooms (optional)
1 small head cabbage (or
1 with wide noodles)
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 chilli pepper, seeded
1 mint leaves
1 rosemary
1 bay leaf (crushed)
5 tablespoon flour (approximate)
3 tablespoon lard, vegetable oil or
1 butter

Remember, lamb or mutton should be served either very cold or very


hot. Never lukewarm.

Mutton, or mature sheep can be used in most lamb recipe's but it does
take longer to cook to prevent toughness.

There is a paper thin sort of covering over the outside of the lamb or
mutton carcass. It isn't suppose to effect the flavor unless the meat
has been aged for some time. It depends on the cut you use. On chops
it should be removed. On the leg, if cooked whole it should be left
on. For stew I remove it first since I'm going to be cutting up the
meat. Now, if you buy the mutton it will probably be removed before
you get it, except on the leg. We usually cut the meat off the neck,
shanks and breasts into small pieces for stews.

Coat meat with flour. Brown meat in shortening. Cover with water and
bring to a boil. Add spices and simmer until tender, approximately 45
minutes. Add carrot pieces, potato pieces. Cook until tender. Add
remaining ingredients and cook until done. The cabbage and mushrooms
do not take long. If you prefer, thicken with flour for a more gravy
like consistency.

Please understand I had to approximate amounts. The recipe I have just


lists the ingredients and we're suppose to take it from there. Enjoy.
Served with bread for "sopping" and a salad it was a good hearty meal.

(NCL) PAWNEE CORN SOUP

1 stew size beef chunks of


1 meat
1 dried corn
1 salt and black pepper
1 optional:
1 potatoes and
1 onions

For the amount of soup you want to make, take stew size beef chunks
from the store and cut them in half. Optional: Use lean ground beef
(80%+) in place of beef chunks; avoid fatty ground beef. You want a
good, strong beef flavored broth or the corn soup will be sweet
flavored from the corn.

Boil water for the amount of soup you want to prepare.

When water is at the boiling point, drop in the determined quantity of


half-sized beef chunks of meat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Boil the meat until the broth has a brownish color to it. (Meat may be
tender when the broth is light but for the real meat and corn flavor,
it should be cooked until the broth is brownish.)

Optional: While the meat is boiling, add the raw onions and raw
potatoes if you choose.

After the broth has reached the brownish color, add the quantity of
dried corn you wish to cook. Cook for 30-45 minutes until soft and
tender. The dried corn will absorb the beef flavor as it cooks. For
more of a taste of eating dried corn, cook the corn about 30 minutes;
corn will have more firmness to it.

Optional: If your potatoes are already boiled, add them in the last
10-15 minutes of cooking the corn.

Serve Corn Soup soupy as a meal or drain the soup and serve corn and
beef as a side dish.

skillet from heat and stir in vinegar and any quail juices that have
accumulated on platter. Spoon sauce over quail.

Crisp roasted potatoes with rosemary are a good accompaniment to this


elegant but easy dish.

Gourmet September 1998

Comment from another cook:

We made this recipe for our New Year's Eve dinner for two. It was
very easy and quick, not too much to it. We did make two changes to
the recipe. We didn't see the need to clean the pan and add butter
before putting the quail in the oven. Instead we added the butter at
the end while making the sauce. Also, we added a bit of chicken stock
and a little demi-glace to the sauce for more volume. When I make it
again, I'll use a spice grinder for the juniper berries, rather than
chopping with a knife. AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR Crisp roasted potatoes
with rosemary are a good accompaniment to this elegant but easy dish.

tomato.

Gourmet August 1995

Some comments from other cooks:

Thought there was too much ginger - replaced with 1 garlic clove in
salmon mixture. Added honey (1/4 to 1/2 tsp.)to the mayonnaise to
sweeten it up - make it more like a teriyaki flavor. After modifying
a few things, it's worth making. Using pre-ground salmon makes it
less prone to fall apart.

Adding bread crumbs and an egg helped bind the salmon a little better,
without hurting the flavor...

Delicious, I added fresh dill to the Salmon Burgers, served it with


rice.

My Salmon Burgers turned out very well. I'm a Culinary Arts Graduate
and I added a few ingredients to this recipe to assure that the
Page 45

burgers stayed together and were spicy enough. In addition to the


regular ingredients I added, fat free Parmesan cheese, granulated
garlic, used some egg white and very little bread crumbs and a little
bit of skim milk. I also added some Red Pepper to taste. (Yum Yum)

(NCL) STONE GRIDDLE COOKING - MOOSE STEAKS

2 large moose steaks, any cut


2 large wild onions
3 fingers coltsfoot salt
2 fingers fat

The griddle is made of a highly polished flat sandstone [polished with


grease and tallow and it takes weeks to do it right] Only sandstone
will stand the heat of the fire under it. Other types of stone may
explode into small chips and injure the cook. Make a good steady fire
under the stone to get the griddle hot enough to dry out. Be sure to
get the griddle dry and clean before using it. Bear fat may be rubbed
into the griddle and now you are ready to cook the following recipe
on it.

The griddle is also perfect for cornbread, breads and fish.

Place the steaks on a flat clean rock. Pound steaks with another stone
until all the fibers have been broken down. Sprinkle a little
coltsfoot salt over the steaks. Cut the wild onions in half and on
the cut side, rub the salt into the meat.

Drop the fat on the stone griddle and let it float out over the stone
so that you have a well greased spot large enough to place the steaks
on. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes on each side, depending on how well
done you like your moose. If you have plenty of wild onions, slice
one thinly and fry it with the steaks.

(NCL) TEWA TACOS (AKA- INDIAN TACOS)

1 1/2 lb ground beef


6 round fry bread pieces,
1 recipe follows
1/2 poundccheddar cheese,
1 grated
1 head lettuce, shredded
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 salsa, optional
1 green chile, optional
1 for the fry bread:
2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry milk solids
2 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon lard, cut into
1/2 inch bits, plus
1 lb lard, for deep frying

Brown the ground beef in a saute pan. Divide equally onto 6 fry bread
rounds. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Great served
with salsa and green chile! A viewer, who may not be a professional
cook, provided this recipe. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe
and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.

For the fry bread:

Combine the flour, dry milk solids, baking powder and salt, and sift
them into a deep bowl. Add the lard bits and, with your fingertips,
rub the flour and fat together until the mixture resembles flakes of
coarse meal. Pour in the water and toss the ingredients together
until the dough can be gathered into a ball. Drape the bowl with a
kitchen towel and then let the dough sit at room temperature for
about 2 hours.

After sitting, tear the dough into 6 equal pieces. Then, on a lightly
floured surface, roll each dough ball into a circle about 4 inches in
diameter and 1/4-inch thick. With a small knife, cut 2 (4 to 5-inch)
long parallel slits completely through the dough, down the center of
each rolled piece, spacing the slits about 1-inch apart. In a heavy,
10-inch cast iron skillet, melt the remaining pound of lard over
moderate heat until it is very hot but not smoking. The melted fat
should be about 1-inch deep, add more lard if necessary. Fry the
rolled dough, 1 at a time, for about 2 minutes on each side, turning
them once with tongs. The bread will puff slightly and become crisp
and brown. Drain the Navajo fry bread on paper towels and serve warm.

1 for the beans:


16 oz dried snowcap beans
5 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon salt
1 for the chili:
8 dried ancho chiles
1 large green bell pepper, seeded
1 and chopped
1 cup chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 1/2 lb lean venison (or beef), cut
1 into
1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2 lb sweet pork sausage, cut
1 into
1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon dried mexican oregano
2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoon sugar
28 oz canned whole tomatoes
2 tablespoon masa harina dissolved in
1/2 cup water

Make the beans: Soak the beans overnight. In the morning, pick out
any bad ones and any stones. Wash the beans and place them in a large
pot filled with water. Place the garlic, coriander seeds, and bay
leaf in a cheesecloth bag or tea ball and add to the beans in the
water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and
cook the beans 1 hour, until tender. Discard the spices. Drain the
beans well and set aside while you make the chili. Add the salt.

Make the chili: Place the chiles in a large heatproof bowl and cover
with boiling water. Let stand 30 minutes, until soft; then seed and
stem them. In a food processor or blender, puree the chiles with 1
cup water until smooth. Set aside.

In a large skillet, brown the bell pepper, onions, and garlic in 2


tablespoons of the oil until they are soft. Set aside.

In a large Dutch oven, brown the venison and sausage in the remaining
2 tablespoons of oil. Drain the excess fat. Add the bell pepper
mixture along with the salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, sugar, and 3
cups water. Add the tomatoes, smashing each in the palm of your hand
before adding it to the pot. Add the chile puree, stir and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat and cook, partially covered, at a low boil for
1 1/2 hours. Remove from the heat. Add the masa harina mixture,
stirring to thicken the chili. Return the chili to the heat and cook

SNOWCAP BEANS

Snowcap beans are a tan bean with a "snowcap" of white along the
side, and random spots of burgundy speckling overall. I think it is
one of the most beautiful of all beans in this book. Although I know
it is an oddball, found in a crop of some other bean, I can't help
but wonder if it is throwback to a bean that existed during the time
of the Incas, who used beans as a means of communication. Apparently,
beans of different colors, sizes and shapes were each given a
meaning. Runners would carry them and their important messages long
distances from one leader to another. handful of beans held a world
of information, which was deciphered by a cryptographer, who would
then announce the news of the day. Was there a bean then that looked
like the snowcap? What was its unique meaning?

ABOUT CANNED SEAL MEAT

1 info file

Yep, the canned seal meat when served in the traditional Newfoundland
way does make a very pleasant meal. Key things to bear in mind for
seal are: it is actually a very lean dry meat, LOADED with iron,
requires some fat in the cooking like the lean venison or moose. When
canned properly the process makes for flesh that has more edibility
than when fresh cooked.

The upscale version of seal meat is:

Boiled potatoes, cabbage, turnip and carrot. The seal meat ( all of
the contents in the can or jar ) is put in a pan, a pastry mix is
laid over top, thinly sliced onion is laid around the pan, making
sure it is exposed. Bake until pastry is crispy and light brown.
Remove from pan and make a flour gravy, makes LOTS, from the liquid
from the can/jar. This gravy does VERY well with lots of coarsely
cracked pepper. Seal responds awfully well to pepper. I don't think
it is possible to use too much.

Serve with partridge berry sauce.

This meal is washed down with strong tea - the spoon must stand up in
it.

ps. Canned seal meat is salted for taste in the canning process using
pickling salt. It does not require the extensive salting for
consumption that fresh seal demands. I use a combination of pickling
and iodized salt in the grinder on the table. I find it gives me the
balance of bite and sweet which is missing from either the pickling
salt or iodized salt alone.

ABOUT COOKING WILD DUCKS

1 text file

You *CANNOT* use the same recipes on a wild duck that you'd use on a
domestic one. Because they are so lean, they will cook very fast. My
favorite technique, beside besides simply roasting them over a
mirepoix, is to saute the breast over high heat in either a bit of
olive oil or brown butter just long enough to sear the exterior, but
not so long that they are cooked through. They should be rare. They
are then removed from the pan and kept warm (on a platter at the rear
of the range or in a slow oven) while a reduction sauce is prepared
in the pan. Any number of classic sauces go well with duck prepared
in this manner; I generally begin by sauteing some shallots in
butter, deglazing with a good, fruity red wine, reducing by half, and
then adding a bit of brown stock and finishing it with a swirl of
butter. Garlic, minced gingerroot, or some crushed herbs can be added
to the sauteed shallots as desired. You could also substitute some
heavy cream for the stock. To serve, sauce a plate, thickly slice the
duck breast across the grain diagonally, place in the sauce on the
plate and drizzle a little of the remaining sauce over the cut
slices. Add your favorite accompaniments, potatoes or rice and
whatever... Serve some of the wine that was used to make the sauce.

There are any number of variations on the above theme: sometimes I


cold smoke the duck with a fruitwood or nutwood fire -- apple or
pecan is my favorite before searing, and then toss some of the
complimentary fruit or nuts in with the sauteing shallots when I make
the sauce.

You can accomplish pretty much the same thing over an open grill, and
_really_ impress the chicks, but the key is to be sure to remove the
breast from the heat well before they are cooked through. The classic
way of determining when you have reached the right stage is this:
Make a fist with your thumb tucked inside. With the forefinger of
your opposite hand, rapidly press down on the exposed muscle pad at
the base of your thumb of your fisted hand. That's the feel the duck
breast should return when it's ready to be removed from the heat.

ABOUT COOKING WILD DUCKS #2

1 text file

The canvasback, depending on its diet before you shot it, can be very
tasty indeed. I would recommend the following preperation:

Pluck and draw the duck. Remove the breats but do NOT skin. Use a
filet knife to do this part and be careful around the wishbone or
you'll miss a bunch of meat.

Refrigerate the breasts (wrap in plastic). Roast the carcass until


browned (350 for an hour will do). Take the carcass and place it in
a large stock pot. Cover bones with cold water, add a quartered
onion, skin and all (Videllia (sp?) 1015 or some other sweet variety
is my prefernce)quartered. Add a carrot and a couple of cloves of
fresh garlic. Simmer stock at least 3 hours (I cook mine all night at
a very low temp - bubbles rise very slow and not too often). strain
the stock and reserve.

For the sauce, add a 1/4 cup of clover honey to a 1.5 quart sauce
pan. heat over medium heat until the honey starts to slightly darken.
Remove from the heat and add 2/3 cup of a nice white wine (the better
the wine the better the sauce - don't use any cheap stuff). Return
to high heat and reduce by half. Add 3 cups of duck stock and reduce
until it gives a demi-glaze sauce consistency (about 2/3 of a cup
remains). Add a tablespoon of hoisen (you can get this in the
oriental section of your grocery) and mix in for about a minute.
remove from the heat. Optionally, you can add a tablespoon of butter
once completed.

Right before your sauce is ready, salt and pepper your duck breasts.
Heat a cast-iron or other type of non-stick skillet to medium high.
Put the breats in skin side down and cook until skin becomes
somewhat crisp. Turn and cook for about a minute on the other side.
The duck should be rare (I've never gotten sick from eating rare
duck. If wild duck is over cooked it doesn't taste near as good - the
difference is like night and day).

Slice the breast long ways and ladle sauce on top. Serve with the
remaining white wine and vegtables of choice. This is an easy recipe
that will make duck lovers out of most anyone.

ABOUT PROCESSING A DEER

1 text file

To avoid cutting too much skin, skin from the back legs to the head.
Cut the front legs at the elbow and peel skin back far enough to pull
the legs through. I would allow the the carcass to cool before
quartering. I can fit a 130lb dressed deer in a 72 quart cooler,
cover the with ice. I do all of my processing in my kitchen but all
preliminary work is done in my basement. Have a clean rubbermaid
tote full of cold water to put the finished cuts in. Negotiate the
kitchen for wrapping, you should rinse with clean water before
wrapping. Don't try to make your cuts like you see in the grocery
store, it's a waste of time. Here's my steps:

Harvest animal. Field dress, removing all internal organs and split
pelvic bone. Try to rinse the internal cavity if you can. Remove the
tenderloins ( Best part ) These are located inside the cavity toward
pelvic bone. Skin the animal. If buck (mountable) from back legs to
the base of the neck. Remove as much fat as you can!!! Easy way to
remove hair stuck to the meat is with a propane torch. Remove the
backstraps. Remove front shoulders very easy since they are attached
by muscle. I usually use a bonesaw or hacksaw and cut in half. You
could bone- out if you like. Remove hindquarters and bone-out. Easy
just follow the major muscle lines. Cut steaks or roasts. Steaks are
easier to cut if the meat is partially frozen. I cook the ribs so I
cut them to fit my crockpot. Cut neck <B>roast</B>. Alot of people
grind it, I use it for shredded barbecue. Grind the scraps if you
have a grinder. DO NOT USE THE DEER FAT WHEN GRINDING! Use freezer
bags. I have a vacuum sealer, this will keep meat a little longer
then freezer wrap. If you use freezer wrap, double wrap it.

Processing gets easier with practice. Try to find yourself an old


chest freezer chilled meat is easier to cut that flimsy meat. If you
cut roasts always rinse the cut with clean water, this will rid any
fat, marrow, or tallow that gets on the meat. Wear an apron you will
get messy.

1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 can 14 1/2 oz diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup dried cholla buds*
2 1/2 cups (or more) chicken broth
6 pcs lemonade berry* or; juice of 1/2 lemon

Place 1/2 cup warm water and azafran in small bowl; let stand at least 20
minutes to infuse.

Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large
pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook lamb until brown on all
sides, adding more oil as needed, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb
to large bowl. Pour all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot (or add 1 tablespoon
oil if dry); heat pot over medium heat. Add onions; sprinkle with salt and
pepper. Sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add lemonade
berry juice or lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and chili Stir 1 minute. Add
saffron mixture; stir, scraping up browned bits. Add tomatoes with juice,
cholla buds, and lamb with any juices to pot. Stir to coat. Add 2 1/2 cups
broth.

Bring stew to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, then cover with lid slightly
ajar and simmer until meat is tender, stirring occasionally and adding
more broth by 1/4 cupfuls as needed if dry, about 1 1/2 hours. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool slightly.
Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and chill.)

Bring stew to simmer, thinning with more chicken broth if necessary. Divide
stew among 6 plates; Sprinkle with wild mint and place wedge of fry bread
alongside each and serve.

*Chefs notes: Cholla buds can be obtained from


http://www.heritagefoodsusa.com/what_we_sell/fruits_grains.html or you can
replace with artichoke hearts, Brussels sprouts or asparagus. If you use
any of these replacements add to stew the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Azafran can be obtained in any Mexican market spice rack. Lemonade berry
juice boil 6 berries in 1/4 cup water strain and discard berries or replace
with lemon juice. American wild mint can be replaced with regular mint
leaves from the grocers fresh spice shelf.

ACORN PEMMICAN:

1 lb. lean stewing meat, cut quite small


1/2 cup dehydrated wild plums
1/2 cup acorn meal

Boil the lean stewing meat. When it is tender, drain and allow it to dry in
a bowl. Grind all of the ingredients together in a meat grinder using a
fine blade. Grind again, mixing finely, distributing the ingredients very
well. Place in a covered dish and refrigerate overnight. (Or you can eat
right away, but like many foods, the refrigerating allows the flavors to
blend nicely.) You can serve this on any flatbread, such as a tortilla. It
is best served warm, or you can reheat it in the pan in the oven like a
meatloaf.

Acorn meal can also be used in place of a good portion (or all) of the nuts
in most desserts, from brownies to cookies. It does depend on the variety
of acorn you have available and the taste after leaching. Some acorn meal
never gets “nutty,” only mild, while the meal of other acorns, such as
those of the Emory oak, are so sweet that you can eat them without
leaching, or with very little leaching.

You will have to experiment a bit here. But the end results are usually
surprising.

ACORN STEW

1 lb. stewing meat


1/2 c. finely ground acorn meal (tannin re; moved)
salt and pepper to taste

Place meat in heavy pan and add water to cover. Cover with lid and
simmer until very tender. Remove from liquid and cut meat into very
fine pieces. Return meat to the liquid. Stir in the acorn meal.
Add salt and pepper as desired. Heat until thickened and serve.

ACORN STEW

3 lbs round steak (beef or venison), cut; into bite size pieces
3/4 cup acorn flour (leach first)
salt

Cook beef or venison in about 1 quart of water. Let it simmer for


about 3 hours or until meat is well done. Salt to taste. Shell acorns
and grind them into very fine flour until you have approximately 3/4
cup of flour. Strain the broth from the meat (it will be used later).
Shred the meat and, placing it in a wooden bowl, mix it with the acorn
flour. (Note: metal utensils or bowl will discolor the flour) Pour hot
broth over the mixture and stir. It is now ready to serve in
individual bowls. Usually served with fry bread.

water if necessary. There should be about 3 cups of broth when meat
has been cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste, and keep the stew
warm. Shell the acorns and grind them in food processor or blender
into a very fine meal. With a slotted spoon remove the meat and
onions from the pot and place into a glass bowl. Add the acorn meal

ADOBO PARA CAZA / ADOBO FOR HUNTING

1 red wine

1 carrots, also sliced, but thicker
1 twig of parsley
1 bay leaf
1 twig of thyme
1 pepper seeds
1 clove stick
1 drizzle of oil
1 salt

"This is a typical adobe to make, that results in a very tender and


tasty meal from any type of venison.

"Place ingredients in an earthenware container/crockpot. A metal one


will create bad tastes.

"Leave the adobo for 5 hours, but is very much better after 24 hours.
[Here, I am uncertain whether they mean to marinate the meat in a
marinade of the above for 5 hours, or to cook it for that long.

[I find the use of thyme very interesting, as this is a natural


antibiotic/antifungal/antiseptic and can even protect against
anthrax, and would presumably be a natural preservative, as well as
flavouring. Also, the comments say something about keeping the meat
wrapped... from 1080 RECETAS DE COCINA [recipes from the Spanish

ALASKAN WILD SALMON WITH MUSTARD MAPLE GLAZE

By: August 12, 2005 in the New York Daily News

for the egyptian lentil stew:


2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 small carrot, finely chopped
1/2 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 cup small green lentils
2 cups unsalted chicken stock
for the wine reduction:
2 cups merlot or your favorite red wine
2 cups beef stock
for the mustard maple glaze:
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup whole grain mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup merlot or your favorite red wine
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
for the salmon:
4 5-6 oz salmon fillets, preferably wild; alaskan
salt and fresh pepper, to taste

Make the lentil stew: In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium
heat. Add shallot, carrot and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until
vegetables are very tender. Add lentils and chicken stock. Cook until
liquid is absorbed and lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.

Make the wine reduction: Pour wine and stock into a saucepan and bring to a
simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer until liquid is reduced to about 11/2
cups.

Make the mustard maple glaze: Combine all ingredients for the glaze in a
bowl; mix well. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

To finish the dish, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place fish in a baking dish and spoon 2
tablespoons of glaze over each fillet. Bake until salmon flakes easily
when tested with a fork, about 10 to 15 minutes.

To serve, mound lentil stew on warmed plates. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the


wine reduction over lentils; place salmon on top; serve immediately.

Notes to the Cook

# Timing. You can make the lentil stew, wine reduction and mustard glaze
the day before. When ready to serve, reheat the components of the dish,
then make the salmon.

# The mustard maple glaze. You will have more glaze than you need for this
dish. It will last, refrigerated, for about two weeks. Use it on chicken,

1 cup red wine


1 cup teriyaki or soy sauce
1 cup Worcestershire
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 tsp. black pepper
3/4 tsp. white pepper
3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Add a few dashes of Liquid Smoke to top it off. Then I let it marinate for

ALLIGATOR STEW

2 lb alligator tail; sliced or cubed


1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
1 large bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 bay leaves
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 tsp fresh datil pepper or 1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme

Saute alligator meat in a small amount of olive oil until tender, and set
aside. In a Dutch oven, cook onions, bell pepper and garlic in remaining
oil
until soft. Add tomatoes, bay leaves, datil pepper or sauce and seasonings
and simmer over low heat for five minutes. Add chicken stock and
well-rinsed
rice and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the alligator meat, stir well, taste
and
adjust seasonings. Simmer an additional five minutes to combine flavors.

After 20 years of protection, the alligator has made a remarkable comeback


and alligator meat is available again. Since the body meat is too tough,
only the tail meat is used. The best way to prepare alligator tail is to
slice the meat across the grain into 1/4- to ½-inch strips. While good
lightly breaded and fried, try this dish that includes the datil pepper,
which gives it some heat.

Thanks for the recipe! Actually if you get a youngster, a good deal of the
body meat can be used. Especially in light of the modern tenderizing
machines. Farm rasied gator has been available for years in fish markets
in FLA--I love the stuff!!

ALMA'S RECIPE FOR 'POSSUM

1/2 cup lime


1 gm water
1 cup salt
1 red pepper pod
1 possum

Put 1/2 cup lime in about 1 gallon of boiling water and scald
quickly, and pull off hair while hot. Scrape well--remove feet,
tail, and entrails--like you would a pig. Cut off ears, remove eyes
and head if desired. Pour hot water over it and clean thoroughly.

Put one cup salt in sufficient cold water to cover possum, add 1 pod
red pepper and let stand overnight. In the morning remove salt water
and pour boiling water over it. Cook in enough boiling water to boil
up over possum but not enough to cover. Cook until skin can be
pierced with a fork easily, and let stand in water until ready for
baking.

When ready to bake, place possum in pan with skin side up. Bake in a
moderate oven until crisp and brown. If fire is too hot, skin will
blister and burn.

Carve possum and surround with potatoes (sliced or quartered) which


have been previously baked.

AMERICAN INDIAN PHESANT OR GAME HEN, TEEPEE RES-WINNIPEG-RR

2 2 1/2 lb hen pheasant, cleaned


1 onion, quartered
1 bay leaf
6 peppercorns
1 small carrot, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
pinch powdered thyme
1/4 tsp rosemary, dried and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp black walnut meats, finely chopped

This recipe is adapted from the exceptionally good,


controlled-circulation Recipes Only Magazine. The original
dish was created by Mary Richard for use in her Teepee Res-
taurant, in Winnipeg. I found some of the ingredients hard
to locate in a hurry and used what I had available with good
results. You can substitute rock Cornish hen, guinea fowl,
or chicken for the pheasant and hazelnuts, filberts or wal-
nuts for the black walnuts.
(1) Split pheasant down the breastbone (or have your
butcher do this).

(2) Rinse the halves, place in a deep pot and barely


cover with water. Add bay leaf, onion, carrot,
celery, salt and peppercorns.

(3) Bring to rolling boil, then turn down heat and


simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until
tender. Remove foam and scum as it forms. Remove
bird(s) from broth, reserving the broth.

(4) Using a heavy skillet, saut' the halves in 2 Tbsp


of the butter until golden.

(5) Place birds into small roasting pan or casserole


with just enough water to cover the bottom of the
pan. Sprinkle with thyme and rosemary.

(6) Bake, lightly covered with foil, for 30-40 minutes


at 350 deg. F.

PROCEDURE (GRAVY)
(1) While the birds are in the oven, strain the broth
and boil rapidly down to 2 cups

(2) Brown the mushrooms using the same skillet in


which you browned the pheasant. Remove the mush-
rooms and keep them warm.
Page 92

(3) Melt the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter in the skil-


let. Add the flour, stirring up the browning from
the pan.

(4) Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown.


Blend in the broth using a wire whisk.

(5) Add mushrooms and continue cooking approximately


1-2 minutes. Turn down heat, cover and keep warm
until pheasant is roasted.

NOTES
When the pheasants are cooked, remove them from the oven and
scrape the herbs from the skin. After placing the pheasant
halves on a warm platter (or leaving them in the casserole),
pour the gravy over the pheasant. Garnish with the chopped
nutmeats and serve. This dish is particularly good with
wild rice.

RATING
Difficulty: easy once you have the all the ingredients
ready. Time: 40 minutes preparation, 80 minutes cooking.
Precision: measure the spices.

ANDREA'S VENISON JERKY

2 lb sliced venison 1/8 thick


2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup corn whiskey

thin and with the grain. Cut across the grain if you want more
tender, but more brittle jerky.

Trim off all of the fat. Marinate strips in a glass container


overnight. You may substitute 2 cups of red wine for the corn whiskey
and water.

Pat dry and arrange pieces side by side on an oven roasting rack,
with- out overlap. Cook at minimum heat (150F) for 6 hours. Leave
oven door ajar to allow moisture to escape. Meat should be dark, dry
and store jerky in a cool, airtight container.

ANITA'S PEMMICAN II

1 lb jerky meal
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz raising
5 oz suet

A delicious and energizing food for the trail is pemmican, which


might be defined today as a jerky dessert. But to Indians it was a
survival food.

Run dry jerky through a food grinder a few times until it is the
consistency of fine meal. For each pound of jerky meal, add the 2
ounces of raisins and the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. When the
mixture is well blended, melt the suet and stir it in. The result
when the suet hardens and cools is pemmican. From: "Anita Bautsch"

APACHE DUMPLINGS

1 your favorite frybread


1 dough
1 ground beef
1 spanish/yellow onion
1 fresh garlic
1 canned mild or hot green
1 chili diced
1 ground cumin
1 salt and pepper to taste

These wonderful creations are stuffed with ground beef, green chilies,
onions and seasonings. The ratio for the filling is simple:

60% cooked, drained ground beef 20% cooked sm.diced/chopped onion 20%
green chilies diced canned and seasonings

Gently cook onion until just translucent(do not brown) Add/cook ground
beef, green chilies and two pinches of cumin. On med-low heat add
garlic (DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC!) let the garlic become slightly
areomatic. Season w/ salt and pepper, take off heat and set to the
side, let cool, so that you can work with your clean hands.

Take your already made Frybread dough and make small pieces about the
size of a tennis ball and roll out flat. Spoon your cooled meat
mixture diagonlly across the rolled out dough. Dont roll to thin or
too thick about a quarter inch. Fold the dough over the meat mix like
a taco and seal with fingertips. It should resemble a sharp football
shaped stuffed dumpling. Repeat technique untill you run out of dough
and meat mixture. Place the dumplings in just enough water or stock
to cover by one inch. Add a couple pinches of salt to the water to
your liking. not too salty. Simmer the Apache Footballs for about 30
to 45 minutes. Some of them will break open, thats ok it will add to
your broth. Try to keep them intact.(I like to break a couple open if
I have made alot of dumplings, it makes the broth very tasty.) Do not
boil. Let simmer untill the dough is cooked and the insides are very
hot. Serve piping hot to your loved ones.

I hope they turn out good for you. It takes practice, but when you
get all the seasonings the way you like it, you can teach your
children and family how to make "Apache Footballs". PEACE!

APACHE LAMB SOUP

By: Peppers, Peppers, Peppers by Marlena Spieler

5 oz lean lamb or beef; shredded


1 onion; chopped
5 cl garlic; sliced thin
1 ts oil
1 red and green bell pepper
1 mild red and green chile
1 lg carrot; sliced thin
1/2 ts cumin
4 ripe tomatoes; diced
6 1/4 c beef, lamb or vegetable
broth
1/2 ts mint
14 oz cooked and drained hominy
4 oz greens; torn
salt and pepper

Lightly brown the lamb, onion, and half the garlic in the oil; add
extra oil if needed. but avoid using too much (traditionally, Apaches
did not fry, so their dishes are never greasy).

Add the peppers, chiles, carrot, cumin, and tomatoes and cook for a
few minutes, then add the broth, mint. and hominy, and bring to a
boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a low simmer for about 30 minutes
or until the meat and vegetables are tender. Just before serving
season to taste then add the greens at the last moment, allowing them
to wilt briefly in the heat of the pot. Serve each bowlful with lemon
wedges if wished

NOTES : This filling soup, which can also be served as a stew, is a


favorite Apache recipe. It combines the native American traditions of
hunting and gathering, being traditionally made with venison or other
game, hominy, and whatever wild greens could be found in the fields.

APACHE STEW

2 red bell peppers


5 green anaheim chiles
1/4 cup sunflower oil
1 lb venison, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 carrots, sliced
3 cup cooked indian hominy
8 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup tumbleweed greens, thoroughly clean; ed, or curly endive

Roast the peppers, then peel, seed, and cut into long strips. Roast
the chiles, then peel, seed, devein and dice.

Heat the oil in a large stew pot over medium-high heat. When the oil
is almost smoking, add the venison and cook until the meat is lightly
browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and saute 2
minutes more.

Stir in the carrots, peppers, and chiles and cook 1 minute more. Add
the hominy, water, salt, and pepper and bring the mixture ot a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring
occasionally to prevent burning, until the meat is very tender. Just
before serving, add the tumbleweed greens, stir 1 minute and spoon
into bowls.

The Apache people lived in many regions throughout southeastern


Arizona and New Mexico. The men hunted the animals that roamed the
mountains, and the women gathered and harvested both wild foods and
the foods that they cultivated on the land.

This recipe is based on a traditional stew that was taught to me by a


San Carlos medicine man during one of my visits to his ranch. When I
prepare the stew now, I can vividly remember the tapping of his
traditional water drum and the songs he chanted in his native Apache
tongue. Through his songs, he asked for all people to walk in harmony
with Mother Earth and be guided by the spirit of the mountains and
the spirit of his drum. I still remember the sincerity and yearning
of his songs.

Depending on what type of produce was available, the ingredients


added to the venison varied each time the stew was prepared. This
recipe includes the basics of the stew, but you can substitute other
vegetables.

1 musk ox tenderloin
4 five-ounce musk ox
1 tenderloins, center cut
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon juniper berries, crushed
1 mushrooms:
1 quart veal demi-glace (brown
1 stock)
1/4 cup red currant jelly
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoon butter
1 red onion confit:
2 cup red onions
1/2 oz butter
1/2 cup port wine
1 vegetables:
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1/4 inch thick
4 asparagus spears, each cut
1 into six pieces
1 tablespoon butter
4 thyme sprigs (optional)

Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper and juniper berries. Sear
tenderloins on all sides in a hot pan. Place in 375 oven until medium
rare (120 internal temperature). Remove from oven and let meat rest
for five n~inutes.

Mushrooms

Reduce the demi-glace (brown sauce) and red currant jelly in a sauce
pan until it heavily coats the back of a wooden spoon. Saut‚ the
shiitake mushrooms in butter and add to the sauce. Set aside.

Red Onion Confit

Saute the onions in butter until transparent. Add port wine and reduce
until the pan is dry, stirring onions occasionally.

Vegetables

Steam the vegetables until tender.

To serve: Place red onion confit in center of plate. Ladle the sauce
around the confit. Slice the steaks in half and place them atop the
confit. Distribute the steamed vegetables around outside lip of the
plate, and add a sprig of thyme atop the meat.

For Simplicity's Sake:

Musk ox is an excellent, top-ranking game meat, yet it's still hard to

come by. Juniper berries are a delightful addition to almost any game
meat. To crush the berries, simply place them between two sheets of
wax paper and roll them with a rolling pin. See "Basic Recipes" for a
demi-glace recipe. For the red onion confit, julienne thin slices of
red onion and saut‚ until thoroughly cooked.

ARROWHEADS OF BLUE CORN GNOCCHI WITH GUAJILLO CHILE SAUCE

----BLUE CORN GNOCCHI----


2 medium russet potatoes
8 quart water
5 oz soft white goat cheese
1 (appx
1/2 cup)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup blue cornmeal
2 tablespoon salt
----GUAJILLO CHILE SAUCE----
3 oz dried red guajillo chiles
1 (about 15 chiles, or 2 1/4
1 cuups)
1/2 cup dried pumpkin seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
5 1/2 cup water

To make the gnocchi, peel and boil the potatoes in 2 quarts water
until soft and cooked through.

In a food processor, combine the potatoes and goat cheese and process
until lump free, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and process another
minute. The mixture should resemble putty.

Stir the flour and blue cornmeal toghether. Pour the potato mixture
into a bowl and add 2 cups of the flour-cornmeal mixture. Mix
together thoroughly to form the dough.

Dust a wooden cuttingboard with half the remaining flour-cornmeal


mixture and place the dough on top. Flatten it and sprinkle it with
the remaining flour and cornmeal. Knead the flour and cornmeal into
the dough until it becomes stiff. The dough is ready when it no
longer clings to the board. If the mixture is still soft, damp and
sticky, add a little more flour.

With your hands, shape the dough on a board into a long rooll 2
inches in diameter. With a knife cut the dough into slices 1 inch
thick. Flour another board and roll each 1 inch piece into a thin
strip about 1/2 inch wide and 16 inches long. Flatten the stips,
with your hands to about 1 inch wide, and cut the dough with a knife
into arrowheads, or any other shape you desire. Set aside.

To make the Guajillo Chile Sauce, put the chiles, pumpkin seeds, salt
and pepper in a food processor and process for 1 minute. Add the
water, in small amounts, until completely blended, about 4 minutes.
Press the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the pulp.

In a saucepan, heat the chile mixture over medium-high heat 4 minutes,


until it begins to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes, until
thickened.
Page 114

While the sauce is simmering, cook the gnocchi. In a large pot,


bring the 6 quarts water to a boil with the salt. Add the gnocchi
and cook 2 to 3 minutes, gently stirring frequently so they don't
stick. At first the gnocchi will sink to the bottom; as they cook,
they will begin to hold their shape and float to the surface.

Once the gnocchi have risen to the top, remove them from the boiling
water with a slotted spoon.

Spoon 1/2 cup sauce on each plate, top with the gnocchi and serve
immediately. From: Sam Lefkowitz Date: 09-04-95 Home Cooking

contributed this flavorful marinade, which he primarily uses on lamb.
We like to marinate boar chops, venison roasts or loins, and buffalo
steaks or chops in it.

Place all ingredients in a blender or food proccessor and puree until


smooth. Rub marinade into meat and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours or
overnight.

AUSTRALIAN POSSUM RIDGEY DIDGE POSSUM ROLL

1 possum
5 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
5 onions
2 cloves garlic
5 carrots
1 stalk celery
2 turnips
3 tomatoes
2 tablespoon cold pressed olive oil
1 clump italian parsley
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
5 bay leaves
3 cloves
2 tablespoon vegemite
1 damper (like a hot dog
1 roll)

Note: As mentioned previously, there is a species of possum which is


protected in Australia. They cannot be trapped, shot or hunted. If you
run over an Australian possum, and it is still alive, call WIRES,
which protects Australia's native fauna.

If it's dead, then this recipe may serve a purpose.

First, skin the possum, checking first for lice, myxomitosis, and
living young in the pouch. Separate legs from breast. Discard head,
neck, tail and claws. If you wish, hold the offal for thanksgiving
stuffing. Then cut the possum into long stringy pieces. Marinate
overnight in vinegar, rosemary, bay leaf, clove, garlic & oil mixture.
Make the roll: split the damper, and spread vegemite on each side. Put
aside. Chop the carrot, turnip and tomato into small pieces, then
cook with the rest of the ingredients, and stew in a pot, adding a
chicken stock cube for seasoning. Dip the possum pieces in the pot,
then barbecue for 20 minutes (or until cooked to personal taste).
To serve: like a hot dog, use the damper & vegemite roll to surround
pieces of possum.
Serve with chips, salad and beer.

BACON BBQ BIRD

8 birds of your choice


1 lb fresh bacon
1/2 cup italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
: salt and pepper

When you BBQ smaller wild bird like dove, quail, chuckar, grouse
etc., it tends to be a little on the dry side. This recipe will
definitely fix that.

Marinate birds in Italian salad dressing overnight. Pat dry, season


with paprika, ground sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
Wrap each bird with bacon slices. If you use more than one slice of
bacon to cover the bird match the seams on the same side. Place the
birds on a medium-hot grill, bacon seam side down. Cover and grill
for 15 minutes. Turn and grill another 15 minutes. Test the bird with
a fork, if it is not tender cook an additional 15 minutes.

Baked beans, stuffing, fresh vegetables, and bread of your choice


would be an excellent complement for this entree. After your birds
are done throw the bacon into your pot of baked beans for excellent
seasoning. This recipe also works very well with Cornish game hens.

BAKED SNAKE WITH BERRIES

1 snake
1 berries

Catch and kill the snake. Throw the head away. Snakes are often found
near berry bushes when the berries are ripening.

Split the skin back from the neck and peel off like a tee-shirt.
Leave the skin attached below the vent.

Remove the intestines and roll the skin back as it was at first.

Pack the skin with as many berries as you can get in. Berries that
are not quite ripe will keep their shape better when cooking and will
give flavor to the meat.

Build a fire in a hole as for ordinary underground roasting. Scoop


out a place and coil the stuffed snake into it. Cover with coals and
ashes. Put more fire on top and cook for at least 1/2 hr. A full hour
is better. Let it cool in the ground until the fire is cold.

Strip off the skin and shake out the berries if they were too green
to cook well. They can be eaten, although they may taste bitter. The
berries were used mainly for improving the flavor of the snake. The
meat should be quite tender and will taste something like frog legs.

WARNING! The entire plant is POISONOUS and especially the berries.


The uses of this plant are of interest ONLY IN AN HISTORICAL CONTEXT.

This member of the buttercup family is found in rich, moist woods and
thickets from southern Canada to northern New Jersey and West
Virginia, then west through Ohio, Iowa to South Dakota, Colorado,
Utah, California and Oregon. It is a smooth-stemmed perennial from 1
to 2 feet with alternate leaves which are divided twice into
sharp-toothed leaflets. The white flowers have many stamens and
appear april through May in globe-shaped or elongated clusters on
reddish stalks. The fruit is cherry red and appears July through
October. Disturbances to the nervous system from ingesting the
berries has been reported which might give some validity to early
(1785) reports of its being used in Canada (cautiously!) in some
nervous cases. It was included in a list of Canadian medicinal plants
(1868).

HISTORICAL USES

MEDICINAL:

The root is emeto-purgative and parasiticide. Native Americans used


the root tea for menstrual irregularities, postpartum pains and as a
purgative after childbirth. It was also used to treat coughs and
colds. At one point in its history it was regarded as a vulnerary and
astringent. Was used by the Cree of Hudson Bay as a purgative. The
Ojibwe used a decoction of the root to cure stomach pains caused by
swallowing hair (in the literal sense or in a metaphoric sense is not
clear). At certain times of the year, it was considered 'male' and
given only to men and boys. At other seasons it was considered to be
'female' in nature and was used for complaints of women and girls.
For women the roots were rolled up in basswood leaves and baked; when
they became black, an infusion was made and administered. The
Pillager Ojibwe and the Potawatomi made tea from the root which was
taken following childbirth to clear up the system. The root was also
chewed by men for stomach problems. Early white settlers sometimes
used the root as a substitute for black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa).
It was used for ovarian pain, uterine tenderness, and amenorrhea. It
was sometimes used as a last ditch effort as a substitute for

BASIC SQUIRREL COOKING TIPS:

1 info file

Squirrel is a savory dark meat, flavorful, sweet and very tender when
the animals are young. Older animals belong in a stew or confit;
very young, tender animals might be simply grilled on a charcoal fire
with a few sprigs of aromatic herbs to enhance their natural
fragrance and delicacy.

Squirrel meat tends to be somewhat low in fat, though not as much so


as rabbit - much will depend on the individual animal's diet, age and
breeding condition.

Excellent flavor pairings with squirrel: bacon, lemon juice, sour


cream, arrugula and other bitter spring greens, earthy root
vegetables such as potatoes, turnips and celeriac, horseradish sauce,
wild and domestic mushrooms.

BASIC WET BRINE FOR GAME MEATS

2 cup cider vinegar


4 cup water
1 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon juniper berries, crushed
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 bay leaf
4 whole cloves
2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, halved
1 medium carrot, peeled and sliced
1 medium celery stalk, sliced
1 cup dry red wine

A dry brine is a seasoned salt mixture; a wet brine is traditionally


an 80 percent salt solution. In the recipe that follow, the
percentage of salt has been lowered for health reasons. The salt
inhibits bacterial growth in the meat.

Smoked Saddle of Wild Boar with Currant Sauce calls for this highly
versatile brine. The amount is sufficient for 8 chops or 1 loin.

Combine all ingredients, except wine, in a large, nonreactive


saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Strain into a large container, making sure to press all liquid free
from solids; add red wine. Brine venison, boar, buffalo, or other
large game meats for 3 to 4 days in refrigerator, or as directed in
recipe, turning meat often. Make sure meat is fully submerged in
brine. Remove meat from brine and allow to sit for about 45 minutes
before smoking.

1 cup burgandy wine
1 tablespoon worchester sauce
3 bay leaves

1 teaspoon chili powder

If you need to tie the roast to keep it together, then do that. I


always do. Mix the brine ingredients in a NON-METAL container, add
the meat, the keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours. You need to
turn it over several times during the marination. After 48 hours
drain the brine, pat dry with paper towels, and air-dry for 2 hours.

Put it in the pit for 4-5 hours, smoke it up, chow down. Almost as
good as smoked Rocky Mountain Oysters!!!!

BEAR STEAKS WITH GREEK SEASONINGS

2 lb bear steaks
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon combination of oregano, marjoram, r; osemary and/ or mint

Trim all visible fat from the bear as it turns rancid rapidly.

Whisk the other ingredients together until emulsified. Use the


emulsion to marinate the meat for 2-3 hours, refrigerated. Longer
marinading before cooking does not improve the meat as the remaining
bear fat will go rancid despite refrigeration. Grill, broil or saute
the steaks until WELL DONE. Bear should always be thoroughly cooked
as a trichinosis precaution. Serve immediately.

Do not try making a gravy from the marinade as it will usually have
picked up a gamy taste from the bear meat.

BEAVER INFORMATION

1 information

From "Northern Cookbook" edited by Eleanor Ellis, Indian Affairs and


Northern Development, Ottawa 1973.

The industrious beaver is the largest rodent on the North American


Continent, and is found in all the waterways of the forested areas of
the north. Its rich brown fur has long been prized by trappers and
hunters, and the search for beaver pelts instigated much of the early
exploration of the continent. Because of its contribution to the
development of our Dominion, the beaver has been chosen as an emblem
of Canada.
: If the beaver pelt is to be prepared for market, care should
be taken in skinning the animal. Lay the beaver on its back in a
clean place and cut off the legs at the first joints. Then, with a
sharp knife, slit the pelt, starting at the lower lip. Insert the
knife in this slit and, with the sharp edge up, cut the pelt in a
straight line down the belly to the vent. Work out from this centre
line cut and, with short strokes,, separate the skin from the flesh.
Carefully pull the legs through the skin, leaving four round holes in
the pelt. Cut off the tail where it meets the fur. Skin carefully
around the eyes and cut the ears close to the skull. Finish removing
the pelt, taking as little flesh and fat with it as possible, then
lay it on a flat surface, fur side down, and sponge off all the blood
marks with lukewarm water. Complete directions for stretching and
cleaning pelts are available from the Game Management Officers.
: Beaver meat is dark red, fine grained, moist and tender, and
when properly prepared, is similar in flavour to roast pork. Cut the
head from the carcass and eviscerate the animal as follows: Make a
cut through the thin layer of meat from the breastbone to the vent,
encircling the vent, and being careful not to puncture the
intestines. Lay the body cavity open, and remove the viscera by
grasping them above the stomach and pulling down and out from the
body cavity. Carefully cut out the tiny musk glands from under the
skin on the insides of the legs and be sure to remove the castor
gland under the belly near the tail. Trim off all the fat, then wash
the carcass thoroughly with warm water.

BEAVER TAIL

1 beaver tail

This tid-bit of the old time trappers will be tasted by few of the younger
generation. Broil the beaver tail over hot coals for a few minutes (or in
one of those new electric ovens). The rough scaly hide will blister and
come
off, leaving the tail clean, white and solid. Then roast or boil until
tender. This is considered very strengthening food (use only young beaver).
For a special treat, cool, souse in vinegar, add raw onion rings, salt and
pepper to taste.

BEAVER TAIL

I don't have the recipe before me (haven't seen it in at least 5


years), but Angier suggests blistering the skin off the tail by
putting it near the fire (a broiler will probably do), and then
taking the skinned tail and using it as you would use ham in a split
pea soup, which he claims "will make you think you were eating your
way through France "

BEAVER TASTE REVIEW

1 beaver

From: harry.weller@pembbs.com (Harry Weller)

You asked for a report on beaver eating. We prepared it in about the


simplest manner, just parboiled, and roasted. Maybe that was not the
best approach, as the result was really nothing to get excited about.
It was a different meat, somewhat like beef, but not as good as beef.
There was not the extra flavour that makes rabbit, venison etc. a
special treat. Clarence Eckford [the trapper] had warned us that if
we did not trim all the fat off, there would be too much flavour. It
did not remind either one of us of any other game. That was my
impression.

Mom says she enjoyed it, and that parboiled and roasted was better
then parboiled and stewed. She thinks it was a treat, but she would
not want it very often.

Janet thought that there was a difference between different parts of


the roast (2 hind quarters left joined together).

Mom thought about having some sandwiches at a historical society


meeting, with a sign saying "SAVE A TREE, EAT A BEAVER", but lost her
nerve.

BEDSTRAW RENNET GOAT'S CHEESE

1 bedstraw rennet
1 goat's milk

Steve, any cheese made from plants tends to be softer than the
"rennet" cheese. (Rennet meaning animal) While experimenting I
altered a nettle cheese recipe and it made a soft farmers type cheese
product but I never used tofu. I used goat milk. (I raise goats among
other animals) Wanna try? I found the recipe for you.

This is the original recipe I used. The bedstraw (clivers is what I


used) was in the place of the nettles. I made the liquid stronger by
boiling the bedstraw down to 3/4. The nettles make a dryer crumblier
cheese almost like feta but with a milder taste. The bedstraw made a
smoother cheese almost to a farmers cheese but a tad bit firmer. I am
told that yellow bedstraw can be used but will produce even a
different product.

nettles and water to make 1/4 cup nettle juice (same as 1 rennet
tablet)
1 gallon of fresh goat's milk

Cover a pot of nettles with water, boil and reduce liquid to half.
Warm 1 gallon of fresh goat's milk to 90F. Add 1/4 cup nettle juice
to milk. When the first clabber forms, (or clot) about 30 minutes,
pour into a cheesecloth bag and hang the curd up to drain. After the
liquid has drained for a few minutes squeeze the bag to form a block
and drain off excess moisture. Store in cheesecloth in a cool place
to "cure". You can also use this fresh if you want.

My Hispanic friend that first told me about her mother using


silver-leaf nightshade for a vegetable rennet also said that her
mom's cheese was very stretchy.

BEEF FILLET WITH GENTLEMAN'S SAUCE [AG-V16/1]

1 large onion, chopped small.]


1 large garlic clove, chopped to a mash.]
1 large rosemary sprig.
1 olive oil.
1 kg beef fillet.
4 tablespoon rice vinegar.
500 ml cream.
1 salt.
1 pepper.

Stew the onion, garlic and rosemary in just enough oil to cover the
base of a frying pan. When the onion is soft and yellow, transfer
with a slotted spoon to a pot that will just take the beef, Remove
the rosemary [it doesn't matter if a few leaves are left behind]. Set
the oven at moderate, 180^C.

Raise the heat under the remaining fat and quickly brown the piece of
fillet. Put on top of the onion. Pour off any oil remaining in the
pan, put in the vinegar and boil it down as you deglaze the pan. Add
cream, which will promptly curdle. Bring to the boil, pour over the
beef and cook- the pot covered- in the heated oven for 50 minutes.

Remove the beef to a hot serving dish and inspect the sauce. Boil it
down if it is copious and season it. Slice the beef 1cm thick, salt
the slices lightly and arrange neatly on a heated serving dish.

Pour the sauce down the centre. Surround with fennel or celery,
blanched for 7 minutes and finished in butter. Diced, fried potatoes
can be served as well.

BEEF INFORMATION

1 beef

From grilled hamburgers to a roasted tenderloin prepared to just the


right degree of doneness, beef offers more variety in cuts and
cooking methods than any other type of meat. Unfortunately, the names
of cuts vary from state to state, and even from store to store,
making it sometimes difficult to locate the exact cut of meat that a
recipe calls for. The names of cuts specified in our recipes seem to
be the most commonly found ones, but ask your butcher for advice if
you're unable to locate a particular one.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Beef should have bright red meat and white fat; the bone should be
red. Look for beef that is fine-textured, firm, and slightly moist.
The most tender beef has a delicate network of fat running through
it, called marbling. This fat dissolves during cooking and serves as
a selfbaster helping to keep the meat tender and moist.

Ground beef offers more variety in labeling than other cuts of beef.
Federal regulations allow that meat labeled "ground beef" can contain
up to 30% fat. "Lean ground beef" or "ground chuck" can contain up to
20% fat, while "extra-lean ground beef" or "ground round" can have no
more that 15% fat. You can see the difference in these meats at a
glance. The more fat the meat contains, the paler the meat will be.
The price will also decrease. Just because ground beef is cheaper
doesn't make it a better buy. Most of the fat cooks out of the meat
anyway and will only be discarded. Expect more shrinkage in recipes
made from ground beef.

BEEF FROM THE MICROWAVE

Many cooks have been disappointed with the results when they've
cooked beef in their microwave oven. The key to success is selecting
a cut that is suitable for microwaving, and following certain cooking
techniques.

The microwave oven is not a good choice for roasts normally cooked by
dry heat methods. Meat will not brown in a microwave oven, nor will
it end up with the same outside texture it develops when roasted in a
conventional oven.

Some pot roasts do well in the microwave, however. They're best


microwaved in an oven roasting bag at MEDIUM LOW (30% power). Using
MEDIUM LOW instead of HIGH power prolongs the cooking time, but
ensures more uniform doneness and reduces shrinkage.

Some meat loaves work well in the microwave, too, and they cook
significantly quicker than when cooked conventionally. Meat leaves
that have a sauce or cheese topping are more pleasing than plain
leaves since the meat will not brown. When adapting conventional
recipes for the microwave, shape the meat into a round loaf to
Page 171

eliminate corners that might overcook.

It's easy to brown ground beef in the microwave to speed you up in


recipes that call for the beef already cooked. Just crumble 1 pound
of beef into a microwave-safe bowl, cover with heavy-duty plastic
wrap, and microwave at HIGH for 5 to 7 minutes or until done,
stirring twice. Drain well.

Try smoking your Jerky with our Mesquite beans. But do be careful as these
beans are loaded with flavor. Try any kind of good wood chips and sprinkle
with
soaked Mesquite beans you won't believe the smoky flavor.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BEGIN:

1. ONE OR TWO POUNDS OF LEAN STEAK OR A ROAST TO SLICE UP TO THE THICKNESS


YOU LIKE.

3. NOW THAT YOU HAVE THE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO PUT IT INTO A LARGE BOWL &
STIR IT UP. NEXT SLICE UP YOUR MEAT TO YOUR DESIRED THICKNESS & MARINATE
FOR
AT LEAST TWO HOURS OR LONGER. NEXT PREHEAT OVEN TO 150 OR 200 DEGREES ,
PLACE
YOUR MARINATED MEAT IN COOKIE PANS , PLACE ON RACKS IN OVEN, LEAVE A CRACK
IN OVEN DOOR SO MOISTURE CAN ESCAPE, THEN DRY TO YOUR LIKING. IF YOU HAVE
LEFT OVER MARINATING SAUCE YOU CAN POOR IT OVER THE JERKY WHILE IT IS
DRYING
TO GIVE IT MORE FLAVOR. HOPE YOU ENJOY !

BEEF OR BUFFALO JERKY

1 buffalo or beef; trimmed of all fat

You can prepare your own jerky with very little trouble. Trim the
meat of all fat. Slice the buffalo (or beef) into strips 1-inch wide
and 1/8-inch thick. "Jerk" or pull them a bit and place them on a
baking rack. The meat can be dried in a home food drier or it can be
placed in your oven overnight. Leave the oven door open and set the
thermostat to as low a temperature as possible. You may need to
experiment with your oven, as you do not want the heat to rise above
145 degrees to 150 degrees. My large gas oven is perfect for this, as
the pilot light is on all the time and the resulting temperature is
just right. If you have such an oven, you can complete this process
in 12 hours. If you wish some additional flavor in your meat you can
soak the slices in a bit of soy sauce before drying them. Jerky will
keep for three months in an airtight container, for longer if frozen.

BERRY STEW

1 1/2 lb buffalo or beef chuck steak - (1 th; ick), boned, and


1 trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoon peanut oil
1 medium onion; sliced
3 cup beef broth; fresh or canned
1 cup blackberries; fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon light honey
1 salt; to taste

Broil the chuck steak in the oven until brown on both sides. In the
old days this would have been done over the fire, so you might want
to quickly barbecue the meat in order to increase the flavor. Set the
meat aside to cool. In a dutch oven heat the oil and brown the
onions. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces and add to the pot. Add
the blackberries and enough beef stock barely to cover the meat. Stir
in the honey and simmer the meat, covered, until it is very tender,
about 1 hour. If the berries are too tart add more honey to taste.
Add salt to taste and serve in bowls. This recipe serves 4 to 5.

Comments: This unusual dish would have been quite familiar to a Sioux
family. It is actually a buffalo-and-blackberry stew, though good
results can be obtained with a beef steak. I have tried to eliminate
the heavy animal fat that would have been used in this dish by
substituting peanut oil.

BIG BUCK STEAK #1

1 round steak, 1-1/2 to 2 in.


6 tablespoon flour
1 can mushroom soup
1 salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoon frying fat

If you kill a big buck and know he will not be as tender as my


spikehorns, cut a round steak about 2 inches thick, dredge in flour,
let stand for an hour and then reflour the wet spots. Sear on both
sides in a hot, lightly-greased skillet or black iron pot. Now pour
the can of soup directly onto the center of the steak, then add
enough hot water to cover the meat. Cover the pot or skillet, cook in
a moderate (375) oven for about 2 hours or until tender. Suggestions:
TRY adding cutup turnips and fresh green beans around the meat, just
before pouring the mushroom soup on. Recipe date: 01/15/87

BILL'S VENISON OR BUFFALO ROAST

1 venison or buaffalo roast


1 slices of garlic
1 slices of green serano or jalapeno; peppers.
1 prepared mustard
1 yellow onion; sliced in rings
1 brown or wild rice
1 greens

Soak roast overnight in saltwater. Rinse and dry off. Cut slits in
top side of roast about 2-3 inches apart, depending on how spicy you
want it. Alternate 1/2 clove of garlic and slices of green serano or
jalapeno peppers. Turn the roast over, repeat. Do not add spices or
salt.

Cover roast HEAVILY all over with cheap prepared mustard. Put in dry
pan. Cover heavily with yellow onion sliced in rings. Cover. Put in
preheated 300 degree oven. Roast til it's really tender, slice across
grain, serve with brown or wild rice and greens. Buffalo needs to be
cooked at a low heat for a long time to make it tender. If you try to
cook it on too high a heat, it will get tough, never, never to get
tender again.

This was Bill's Grandma Johnson's recipe for venison roast, but we
used it on buffalo, too, and it was great.

BIRD DOG RETRIEVER NEWS ROAST PARTRIDGE

4 partridges [4 lbs]
2 teaspoon salt
2 cup game bird dressing
4 thin slices salt pork

Start oven 10 min before roasting; set to med hot (400 F). Do not
scald these birds to remove feathers. Dry-pick instead as soon as
possible after killing while feathers are droopy, due to relaxed
muscles. Later on, feathers become set and more difficult to remove.
Pluck bunches of the feathers out in the direction in which they lay
until bird is nude. Next singe. Wash in cold water to which 1 tbsp
baking soda has been added to each quart. Rinse well in clear water,
removing any pin feathers with a strawberry huller. Eviscerate, then
wash well on inside, being careful to remove the lungs and any
clotted blood. Drain well and pat inside dry with a piece of paper
toweling or clean cloth. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt on inside of each
bird, then fill with stuffing. Push legs and fold wings up close to
body. Wrap 1 1/2 slices pork over breast and legs to form a compact
parcel and tie into shape with twine. Put birds into a glass
casserole. Do not cover. Bake, basting every 10 to 15 min with fat
that collects in bottom of casserole. Keep oven door closed while
basting. Bake until tender, about 1 hr for young birds. Serves 4.

BISON SAUSAGE

info

When making venison sausage you can add instant potato flakes instead of
adding fat too and it will give it the added moisture/texture you need.
More oil is still needed for frying though. I am sure that the same would
work with other very lean meats such as bison.

BISTECCA CON ZUCCHINE MARINATE E CIPPOLE

3 medium zucchini
2 medium onions - white
1/2 cup vinegar - balsamic
1/2 cup vinegar - balsamic:
1 raspberry
1/2 cup vinegar - red wine
1/2 cup olive oil - extra virgin
2 cup beef stock
2 large beef or buffalo steaks

(Steak With Zucchini Marinated in Balsamic Vinegar)

PREPARING THE MARINATED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS AND MEAT

Peel and cut the zucchini into 1/2 inch rounds. Slice the onions as
thinly as you can. Place both in a stainless steel mixing bowl to
which is added all of the ingredients except the beef stock and the
meat. Mix to coat the vegetables. Cover with plastic wrap and let
marinate in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. Mix the marinade every
3 hours or so. While the vegetables are marinating, place the meat in
a shallow pan and coat with olive oil. Press freshly ground pepper
into each side and add 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar to the pan. One
side of the meat should be in the marinade. Refrigerate and turn
every 4-6 hours

PREPARING THE DISH

Strain the marinated vegetables, reserving the liquid. Pat them dry
and place them in a heavy fry pan to which 3-4 tablespoons of olive
oil have been added. Cook over high heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring
during most of this time. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Using the same fry pan, add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil and sear the
meat for 2 minutes on each side. At the end of this time, add the
zucchini, the onions and the marinade to the pan and continue cooking
over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Turn the meat over and cook an
additional 5 minutes. Depending upon the thickness of the meat, the
meat should be medium to medium rare at the end of these cooking
times. Lengthen or shorten the time according to your taste.

Place each steak on a heated plate, and spoon half of the now reduced
marinade and vegetables over each one. Serve. From: Karen Kas

BISTORT OR SWEET DOCK 1

1 polygonum bistorta
1 adderwort
1 dragonwort
1 easter giant
1 oderwort
1 osterick
1 patience dock
1 red legs
1 snakeweed
1 sweet dock
1 twice writhen

A medicinal herb but also culinary:

In times of famine, the roots, which contain large quantities of


starch, can be roasted and eaten. Typically reaching a height of 3
feet, the plant is found throughout Europe, North America, and Asia.

Part Used---The rootstock, gathered in March, when the leaves begin to


shoot, and dried.

Habitat---A native of many parts of Northern Europe, occurring in


Siberia and in Japan and in Western Asia to the Himalayas. It is
common in the north of England and in southern Scotland, growing in
moist meadows, though only of local occurrence; in Ireland, it is
very rare.

History---In many places, it can only be regarded as an escape from


cultivation, its leaves and young shoots having formerly been widely
used in the spring as a vegetable, being still, indeed, in the north
of England an ingredient in Herb Pudding, under the name of Easter-
mangiant,' the latter word a corruption of mangeant, i.e. a plant to
be eaten at Easter, 'Easter Giant' and 'Easter Ledges' being
variations of this name In Lancashire and Cumberland, the leaves and
young shoots were eaten as a green vegetable under the name of
Patience Dock and Passions.

Externally, the root-stock is black, but internally is colored red and


is rich in tannic and gallic acids, which makes it a powerful
astringent and has enabled it to be used in tanning leather, when
procurable in sufficient quantity.

Besides being one of the strongest vegetable astringents among our


native plants, the roots contain much starch, and after being steeped
in water and subsequently roasted have been largely consumed in
Russia, Siberia and Iceland in time of scarcity and are said after
such preparation to be nutritious and a useful article of food, bread
having been made of the root-flour of this and another Siberian
species of Polygonum.

Description---A number of tuberous roots are produced from the


S-shaped root-stock from the upper side of which spring directly
Page 201

large oval leaves, with heart-shaped bases, of a bluish-green color


on the upper side and ash-grey, tinged with purple, underneath, both
leaf-stalks and blades being about 6 inches long. The upper part of
the leafstalk is winged. The flower-stalk, 12 to 18 inches high, is
very erect, slender, unbranched, and bears leaves smaller than the
root-leaves and few in number, broader at their base and on very
short stalks. The stems terminate in a dense, cylindrical spike of
striking flesh-colored flowers, which consist of five colored sepals,
eight stamens and an ovary with two to three styles. The flowers are
grouped in twos, one flower complete, the other with normal stamens,
but only a rudimentary ovary. The styles of the complete flower do
not mature and become receptive of pollen from visiting insects, till
their stamens have shed their pollen and fallen, cross-fertilization
thus being ensured. The flowers are produced in May and June and
again in September and October. The fruit is three-seeded; the ripe
seeds are small, brown and shining. Birds commonly feed upon the
seeds, which can be employed to fatten poultry.

11 cup water, or as needed
2 tablespoon chopped fresh epazote leaves
1 or 2 teaspoons dried,
1 finely crumbled
3 bayberry leaves or 2 bay
1 leaves
1 head garlic (use elephant
1 garlic, if available),
1 minced
2 chiles, seeds and ribs
1 removed, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vege-sal or
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

In a large saucepan, cover the beans with 8 cups of the water and
bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Let the beans cook for 2
minutes before removing the pot from the heat. Let the beans stand,
covered, for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, put the epazote and bayberry leaves in a tea ball or tea
bag, or tie them up in a piece of cheesecloth.

Drain the beans. Return the beans to the saucepan, along with the
epazote, bayberry leaves, garlic, chiles, olive oil, and the
remaining 3 cups water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat,
reduce the heat to low, and simmer the beans, uncovered, until they
are very soft, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Add more water toward the end if
necessary. Add the Vege-Sal.

Mash some of the beans with a wooden spoon to thicken the remaining
liquid, if desired.

1 can beer
1/2 can tomatoes & juice (14 oz)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 masa harina [optional enough to thi; cken]

Partially feeze the bear roast to make the chopping/dicing easier.


Carefully remove any and all visible fat as it gives any dish an
unpleasant flavor. In a large bowl, sprinkle the diced meat with the
chili powder, oregano, optional cayenne and cumin, stirring to mix
thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the chili
spices to marinade the meat.

Fry the bacon. Drain it on paper towels and cut into 1/2" pieces and
reserve. Heat two tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat in a large
heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and green pepper
and cook until the onions are translucent. Add the diced and spiced
bear meat to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is
evenly browned. Add the beer, tomatoes, optional hot sauceand
reserved bacon to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and
simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours. Add more beer [or tomato juice or
beef stock] if neccessary to prevent sticking and scorching. Taste,
adjust seasonings, and simmer for 2 hours longer. Add the brown sugar
[ and a little Masa if the chili is too thin] and simmer for 15
minutes more.

BLAINE'S VENISON SAUSAGE

6 lb ground venison
6 lb ground pork (lean)
2 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 cup honey

When the venison, pork and hot water are well mixed, add spices and
honey to mixture and mix in well.

This is probably my favorite recipe eventhough this is the one which


has evolved the most in the past 5 years. A couple of years ago my
father mistakenly calculated the spices in tablespoons instead of
teaspoons, and it was better then the previous batch of sausage
written above. The next year we increased the amount of black pepper,
and was it ever good. So if you like spices, and in sausage a little
spice is good, then play around with the mixture a little bit. I will
be adding a small amount of a "cajun" pepper mix to a small 20 lb.
test batch of sausage this weekend.

To make the filling, combine meat, garlic, onion, and coriander in a
large pot. Add water to cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until
tender, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Add red chili powder and salt, to
taste. Gradually add white cornmeal and stir, until filling is about
the same consistency as 'runny oatmeal.' Remove from the heat and let
sit while you make the masa. Mix the cornmeal and baking powder in a
large bowl. Add the water and oil and mix. Masa must be a bit thicker
than a pancake batter. Add small amounts of additional water and blue
corn meal to achieve needed consistency.

To assemble, lay corn husk out flat. Place masa inside middle of corn
husk about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. (depending upon amount of filling
used). Leave outer edges uncovered about 1-inch on each side. Place
filling in center of Masa and fold in each side. Next fold the bottom
upward.

Place tamale in 2nd corn husk and repeat with tamale in opposite
direction of first husk. Fold and tie with small strips of corn husks.

BORDELAISE SAUCE FOR GAME

----MATIGNON----
1/3 cup parsnip, diced
1/3 cup celery ribs&leaves, chopped
1 sprig of thyme
1 teaspoon bacon fat or butter
1/3 cup onion, chopped
2 bay leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon bacon, minced
1/4 cup madeira
----SAUCE ESPAGNOLE----
1 cup matignon, from above
1/2 cup flour
2 cup tomatoes, peeled, chopped
8 cup stock, clarified carb/beef
1/2 cup caribou or beef drippings
12 cracked peppercorns
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
----BORDELAISE SAUCE----
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup espagnole sauce, from above
6 crushed peppercorns
1/4 cup bone marrow, diced.

This is a three step process ( four if you count making the stock in
advance) but well worth it as it makes a superb accompliment to the
finest game or beef steaks and roasts. The Matignon is similar to
Mirepoix. Carrot is traditional in the classic French recipe but
parsnip is more appropriate for game. Melt the bacon fat, mince the
vegetables and add to the pan with the herbs. Cook slowly for 15
minutes until vegetables are soft. Set aside and deglaze pan with the
madeira. Reserve the liquid. Melt in a heavy saucepan the drippings.
Add the Matignon and reheat it. Add the flour, heat and stir until
browned. Then add the pepper, tomatoes, parsley and stir. Add the
stock and simmer gently until liquid reduced by half, about 2-2 1/2
hrs. Stir occasionally and skim fat off the top as it accumulates.
Strain the sauce and stir occasionally as it cools to avoid skimming.
There should be about 6 cups. Set aside 5 cups for other brown sauces
later and take one cup for the last step. In a saucepan, gently
simmer red wine with pepper until reduced to 3/4. Add one cup of
Espagnole and simmer 5 min. Add reserved madeira de-glazing liquid
from step one and the diced marrow and poach it 5 min. Serve with
game or beef chops, steaks, roasted Fillet Mignon, char boiled cuts
and sweetbreads.

1 jar),
1 medium onion (chopped),
1/2 cup chopped salt pork,
1 teaspoon salt.

Wash and dry canning jars and covers. Prepare canner and pressure
cooker. Remove gristle, bones, and as much fat as possible from meat.
Cut meat into jar-length strips, so the grain runs the length of the
jar. The thickness can be about 1 or 2 inches.

Place the meat in hot jars in layers with the chopped salt pork and
the onions. There should be about one inch of space between the top
of the meat and the top of the jar.

Set open jars in rack in canner (insuring that the jars do not
touch). Add boiling water to pot, keeping water level 2 inches below
jar tops. Cover pot and heat slowly for 75 minutes. Remove jars from
pan.

Add the salt. Wipe jar rims clean. Place the sealing lid on each jar
and screw the metal band down tight by hand. (This will still leave
enough space to let air escape during processing.

Fill the pressure canner with 2 or 3 inches of boiling water. Place


the jars on rack in a pressure canner and fasten the cover. Allow
steam to pour out of the open vent or petcock for about 10 minutes.
Then close vent and allow pressure to reach 10 pounds. Adjust heat so
that pressure remains constant. Cook pint jars for 75 minutes and
quart jars for 90 minutes.

When time is up, remove canner from heat. Let pressure fall to zero.
(This should take about 30 minutes.) Remove cover carefully and
slowly. Place jar on a rack and allow to cool overnight. When jars
are cool, store them in a cool place.

1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 strip of orange peel
1 medium carrot, diced
1 large onion, peeled and roughly
1 chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 celery stick, chopped
1 for the sauce:
1 tablespoon tomato puree
14 fl oz oz water
1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
1 1/2 oz bitter chocolate, grated
1 for the garnish (optional):
24 chestnuts, prepared and
1 cooked

Put the red wine in a pan and boil to reduce by one-third. Allow to
cool down to room temperature. Place the venison in a large container
and cover with the reduced wine and all the remaining marinade
ingredients. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 110C/225F/Gas1/2 . Drain the venison and the


vegetables and pat them dry. Reserve the wine. In a non-stick pan,
heat the sunflower oil until smoking and sear and colour both pieces
of venison on all sides to a good deep brown. This operation will take
about 10 minutes. Transfer the venison pieces to a cast-iron
casserole.

In the oil remaining in the non-stick pan, colour the vegetables and
seasonings lightly, about 5 minutes, then transfer them to the
casserole with the venison. Add the tomatopuree to the non-stick pan
and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the reserved red wine from the
marinade, and bring to the boil. Pour over the venison, vegetables
and seasonings in the casserole, and barely cover with the water.
Season lightly with salt. Bring to the boil for 1 minute, skim, then
cover with a tight lid. Braise in the preheated oven for 31/2 hours.

Strain the juices into a large saucepan and reduce on full heat to
about 300ml/10fl oz. Reduce the heat until the sauce barely simmers,
then add the redcurrant jelly. Correct the seasoning and finally,
whisk in the grated chocolate. Mix the venison and vegetables back
into the sauce, and re-heat gently. Add the chestnuts if using. You

BRISKET, PORK LOIN, VENISON ROAST AND BOLOGNA

1 tablespoon rosemary
2 teaspoon ground sumac berries
1 teaspoon dried orange peel
2 teaspoon tarragon
2 teaspoon basil

With the temperature skyrocketing into the 40s last weekend (back to 4
inches of snow tonight), It was time to do some smokin'!!!

Put on a 10# brisket with Cookie's Dry Rub, a 5# pork loin with
Eastern Carolina Rub (both from the archives). Also put on two 2#
venison roasts and 5# of venison ring bologna.

The brisket went on first. I had planned on spiking the temp to


bring the brisket up to 165 quicker, but fighting a windy 30 to 40
degrees, I had no chance. Once I settled in at 220, I put in the
venison roasts and the pork loin. The pork loin internal temp was
still 35 degrees after two days of thawing in the fridge...oh well.

For the venison roast, I wanted to try a unique rub. I wanted a


smoked flavor, but didn't want a rub that would overpower the venison
flavor. I came up with the following:

Pat's Venison Rub

This turned out great but wasn't quite right. The sumac berries were
awesome! They have a tart but mild flavor. I found out about these
while perusing a Penzey's catalog (1-414-574-0277). Bought them out
of curiousity and use them regularly now. The rub does need another
flavor though, I think I could get rid of the basil. Next time I'll
try a little coriander or thyme and some white pepper. I also plan
on creating a version of this rub for chicken.

I smoked all this using 70% cherry and 30% hickory. This worked
great for the venison and brisket but hickory is still king for pork.

The brisket and the pork butt reached 165F after 5 hours. The venison
roast was pretty flat and after 3 hours, it was done. Didn't use any
mop or auxiliary fat, just straight up smoked it. Once piece, which
came from a yearling doe, was melt-in-your melt tender. I was moaning
and groaning eating this one. The other venison roast came from an
old nag of doe. She was so big we were calling her doezilla. While
this old bitch was certainly tasty, she was considerably tougher than
the yearling.. After this side by side comparison, I think I'll start
aiming for the little ones. You can have your old mossy horned, shoe
leather tough, only good for sausage bucks. I guess you could say
the one I shot was "good eatin' size".

The ring bologna was split lengthwise and thrown on for about 1.5
hours. Tasty!

After 11 hours, a neighbor said he was having a bonfire, and not


Page 246

wanting to miss a party, put put the brisket in the oven at 200F,
tore off a bunch of pork for the neighbors, and brought a 12 pack to
the festivities. After 6 hours in the oven, I stumbled home turned
off the oven. I cut the brisketdown the center and it just oozed with
juice. I usually trim the fat cap a little but this time I left the
whole thing intact. I have to say that this was the best brisket I've
ever smoked. The texture was perfect. Tender and juicy. The rub
wasn't so great. I won't use it again.

The pork loin was fantastic as well. I really like the rub I used. I
think I use that again.

BROILED SQUIRREL

2 squirrels
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablesppons melted bacon
1 fat

This is by far the simplest way to prepare squirrel, and it can be


done either on the camp stove or on the trail.

Skin and clean the squirrels. Wahs and pat dry. Cut in half
lengthwise and remove the head. Rub the squirrels with salt and
pepper. If in camp, place the halved squirrels on a broiling rack and
brush with the bacon fat. Broil eight inches away from heat for 30
minutes. Baste every 5 minutes with bacon fat.

If on the trail, spear the whole squirrel on a stick and put it in


front of the camp fire, basting and turing the stick occasionally for
at least 45 minutes. A few apples on a stick propped in front of the
fire will complement this dish very well.

BROILED VENISON

1 bacon fat or lard

1 pepper sauce for veal

1 basting sauce:
1 1/2 cup red wine
3 tablespoon oil
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 salt and black pepper

the most prized cut. It might be scored in lozenge shapes with a
knife point or parboiled and larded with salt pork before being
spit-roasted whole. Modern farmed venison, however, seems to be
tenderised better by being marinated.

Combine all the basting sauce ingredients and soak the venison slices
in the sauce for at least 2-3 hours; elderly meat will need longer.
Pour off the sauce into a jug when you are ready to cook. Put the
meat on a board and pat it dry, then nick the edges of the slices and
rub them all over with the fat.

Thread the slices on skewers or lay them on a greased grill grid.


Heat the grill to medium-high and grill the meat like steak until
medium-rare or well done, as you wish. (For well-done meat, reduce
the temperature after searing both sides and cook slowly.) Baste the
meat with the reserved basting sauce while cooking and turn it once
using a fish slice; do not prod it with a fork. When done, transfer
the slices to a warmed serving platter, and serve at once, with the
hot Pepper Sauce in a sauce boat.

BROPHY'S ROAST OPOSSUM

1 young possum
2 teaspoon salt
4 large red chili peppers, seeded,
1 chopped
1 large onion, chopped
6 peppercorns crushed in a
1 mortar
8 strips fatty bacon
6 medium sweet potatoes or
4 large yams, peeled and sliced 1/2
1 inch thick

The best possum is a fat one (taken in freezing weather), but its fat
should be boiled off. Parboil the meat in salt water for about 1 hour
and pour off and skim the fat continually. Finally, drain entirely
before roasting.

NOTE: In dressing possum, do not overlook the glands beneath the


front legs and at the small of the back; if not removed, the animal
will be unappetizing. Do not skin, but dip in scalding water and pull
out the hairs, then wash and scrub the skin.

Put possum in lg. kettle with water to cover. Add salt, red peppers,
and peppercorns. Simmer for 30 min. Drain meat; reserve liquid. Put
meat in a roasting pan. cover with bacon strips. Continue cooking
kettle liquid, boiling over high heat until 2 1/2 cups remain. Pour
this over the meat and roast in preheated 350 degree oven for 30
min., basting every 10 min. Arrange potatoes or yams around the meat
and continue to roast 30 min. more or until meat is tender and
potatoes or yams are done SERVES: 4-6 SERVE WITH: cooked turnip greens

BRUSSELS RABBIT

3 lb rabbit; cut into 12


1 pieces
2 1/3 cup light beer
1/3 cup flour
1/4 lb prunes
2 onions
4 tablespoon butter
1 bouquet garni
1 for the marinade
1 onion
1 sprig rosemary
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup wine vinegar
1 salt and freshly-ground
1 black pepper

Make the marinade: Combine the chopped onion, rosemary, bay leaves and
vinegar with 2/3 cup of water. Grind in some pepper and mix well. Put
the rabbit in a dish and pour the marinade over. Put into the
refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, turning the rabbit
pieces frequently.

Remove the rabbit from the marinade and drain well. Strain the
marinade through a fine sieve. Salt and pepper the rabbit pieces,
then roll them in the flour, keeping aside 1 tablespoon.

Put the prunes in a small bowl and add enough beer to cover. Leave
to soak for 10 minutes. Peel and slice the onions.

Brown the rabbit and onions in the butter. Add the strained marinade,
the bouquet garni, and the rest of the beer. Bring to the boil,
cover, and cook gently for 1 hour. Add the prunes and soaking
liquid, and the reserved tablespoon of flour. Stir well and cook for
another 30 minutes. Check with a knife that the meat is cooked: it
should come away from the bones easily.

BUFFALO CORN BREAD

2 lbs. ground bison/buffalo (90-95% lean)


1 lg. onion
1 can rotel diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 can ranch style beans
2 boxes jiffy corn bread mix
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup syrup
spices:

black pepper
comino/cumin
season salt
garlic powder
cayenne pepper (if desired for extra hot temp)

This is a dish that I came up with. I do not measure spices so I can really
say how much of each one. I just sprinkle them to cover the browning meat.
So here we go :-)
Pre-heat oven to 350*

Put meat & onion in skillet to brown lightly. Onion will add moisture to
the lean meat since the fat content is low in bison. As it browns add the
desired amounts of the spices so it cooks in well. DO NOT OVER COOK!!
Just before browning is complete, add Rotel, corn & beans. Then simmer
while preparing the corn bread.
Mix corn bread, eggs, milk & syrup.

Put cooked meat mixture into lg. glass/corning ware baking pan.( 10X12 or
9X13 )
Add cornbread mixture to the top.
Bake at 350* for approx. 20 min or until cornbread is done.

BUFFALO FLANK STEAK

1 lb buffalo flank steak; well trimmed


2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 salt & pepper
1 ; water, boiling
1 teaspoon parsley flakes; or
2 teaspoon parsley; freshly chopped

Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan. Dust the steak with flour and
brown well. Add enough boiling water to just cover the meat. Cover
and cook very slowly, until the meat is fork tender. Remove to a warm
platter, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley. Cut in
thin slanted slices against the grain of the meat to improve
tenderness of the slices.

Variation: After browning the flank steak, remove to a baking dish


and bake in a slow oven (300 F.) for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is
tender. Watch carefully that it does not become dry.

BUFFALO HUMP CHILI

3 lb ground bison
3 poblano peppers; fresh
2 medium onions
30 oz rotel tomatoes; diced (3 can
4 1/2 tablespoon new mexico chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 cl garlic
1 fresh lime

Recipe by: Wayne Preston Allen. I found the bison at a health food
store - that's a good bet for you, too. The New Mexico chili powder
might be had from one of a number of mail-order resources if you
don't have a local source. The Rotel tomatoes are hot, so you can
substitute regular tomatoes to cool it a little (but it's gonna be
hot anyway!)

Brown the bison meat. Bison is lean and clumpy, so add a little oil
and break it up as you brown it. Add finely chopped onions and
garlic. When onions are clear, add tomatoes and spices. Add water to
barely cover, and simmer until meat is tender. Add chopped poblanos
for last 20 minutes of simmer, and stir in lime juice before serving.
You're really gonna be surprised!

BUFFALO JOE

1 1/2 teaspoon light olive oil with a dash


1 toasted sesame oil --
1 divided
3/8 teaspoon salt -- divided
3/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 divided
8 oz buffalo sirloin steak
1 medium onion, whole -- chopped
2 peeled garlic cloves --
1 bashed and chopped
2 medium whole carrots -- chopped
2 stalks celery -- chopped
1 whole green bell pepper --
1 seeded and chopped
16 medium whole mushrooms -- chopped
1 teaspoon greek islands ethmix -- (see
1 recipe)
1 tablespoon wild mushroom powder
1 (optional)
1 cup no salt added tomato sauce
2 cup de-alcoholized cabernet
1 sauvignon wine
1 teaspoon low sodium tamari
1 tablespoon arrowroot mixed with
2 tablespoon de-alcoholized cabernet
1 sauvignon(slurry)
4 whole wheat hamburger buns

Brush 3/4 of the oil on a plate and sprinkle 1/3 of the salt and 1/3
of the pepper over the oil. Rub the steak through the seasoned oil on
both sides.

Heat a large, high sided skillet over high heat until it’s very hot.
Brown the meat for 2 minutes on each side and remove from the pan.
Turn the heat down to medium, pour in the remaining oil and cook the
onion until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, cook
for 1 minute, then add the rest of the chopped vegetables. Sprinkle
with the spice mix, the remaining salt, the remaining pepper, and the
wild mushroom powder. Stir the seasonings into the vegetables and cook
for 2 minutes.

Cut the browned meat into 2 inch (5 cm) chunks and drop into a food
processor. Pulse a few times to chop the meat coarsely, as it is very
tender and doesn't need to be finely ground. Add the chopped meat to
the simmering vegetables and cook for 5 minutes.

Pour in the tomato sauce, wine, tamari, and slurry, and bring back to
a boil. Turn the heat down to simmer to keep warm.

Toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or oven broiler.

BUFFALO MOZZARELLA ROLL (APPETIZER)

3 lbs buffalo (fresh) mozzarella cheese (; with packing milk)


6 to 8 oz. sundried tomatoes in olive oi; l (drained)
1 can kalamata olives
5 to 6 cloves garlic
1 bunch fresh basil
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
tools
food processor
parchment paper
double boiler
rolling pin
jelly roll pan

Place the packing milk and the mozzarella cheese balls into a large bowl on
top of a pan of simmering water (double boiler) to heat (melt/soften).

While the cheese heating seed and chop (mince or dice) the Kalamata Olives
and set aside. Drain the oil from the sundried tomatoes and process with
the garlic and balsamic vinegar to a fine mince and set aside. Chiffanade
or mince the basil leaves and set aside.

Watch the mozzarella as it heats and cut the softened pieces with a wooden
spatula to expose the still cool centers of the balls, and turn or fold.
The object is to heat all the cheese to a very soft consistency but not
fully melted. I estimate this was about 160 to 170 degrees.

When the cheese is soft and there are no hard clumps pour off as much milk
as possible, and pour the cheese into the parchment lined jelly roll pan.
Put another piece of paper on the top and roll out with the rolling pin or
press with your palm to an even thickness about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. If you
have to, pour off any excess milk.

At this point you need to work quickly - with a pastry spreader or spatula
spread the garlic-tomato mixture, leaving about 2 inch on the end without
the mixture, sprinkle the olives and the basil over the tomato mixture and
give it a nice grind of pepper. Pull up the end of the parchment paper and
begin rolling the cheese into a log (I roll from the longest side). Roll as
tightly as possible and mold (squeeze) the ends shut. (more milk or oil
may run out).

Place the roll seam side down, cover with plastic and store in the fridge
overnight on the jelly roll pan. You want to keep it on a flat surface.

When fully set slice into 1/2 inch slices and serve. Remember this is a
soft cheese and you will need a very sharp knife.

Caution this log will be somewhat soft just as the cheese is. If you are
transporting it wrap it in double foil as it is delicate.

NOTE:
Since the recipe called for a spread of tomatoes and garlic, then spreading
chopped olives and basil over the tomato mixture, I decided for
Page 271

convenience to mix all those ingredients into a single (quite thick) paste,
which I then spread over the cheese. I called this mix a tomato and olive
pesto, cause I thought most folks would understand that easily enough.

As for heating the cheeze, I used a probe thermometer, and when the cheese
mixture was about 145 to 148F, I figured it was ready to spread. This was
just about the edge my ability to withstand the heat on my fingers (as I
had my fingers in the bowl with the cheese and milk, trying to find any
cold lumps of cheese).

Because there is some concern about having to work fast when rolling the
cheese, I put the jelly roll pan into a 200F oven while the cheese was
melting, so when I rolled it out, it wasn't on a cold pan. I think this
helped quite a bit, as I didn't have any problem with the cheese getting to
firm while rolling. My main issue was getting the cheese in a even
thickness, as I ended up with a couple of thin spots, but proceeded with
spreading the 'pesto' mixture anyway.

BUFFALO STEW

3 lb buffalo; cut up for stew


1 salt & freshly ground black pepper; to taste
1/4 cup peanut oil for browning
3 cloves garlic; sliced
1 large yellow onion; chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup catsup
1 kitchen bouquet to taste
1 cup mushrooms; sliced and sauteed

SERVES 6-8

It was necessary for the emigrants to supplement their diet with


whatever could be found along the trail. When buffalo meat was
available, it was eaten boiled, fried, roasted, and dried. It proved
to be a lifesaver in desperate times, and it was quite good besides.

The great move to the frontier practically wiped out the buffalo.
However, the animals have been saved from extinction and are now being
farm-raised for food. Isn't that an interesting turn of events?

The following stew recipe is quite delicious. It was given to me by


Lorraine Czimer, of Czimer's Meat outside Chicago. They carry buffalo
and a terrific assortment of other specialty meats, including bear.
If you can track down a buffalo, you will like this dish. It is a bit
more elaborate than would have been possible on the trail. The meat
tastes a bit sweet and it is very good.

Lightly salt and pepper the meat. Heat a large Dutch oven and add
the oil. In two different batches, brown the meat on all sides. Add
the remaining ingredients to the pan and stir well. Cook slowly,
covered, over low heat.

A good gravy should form in this dish. If you wish more gravy,
Lorraine suggests you add a bit of water and some water-flour mixture
for thickening. If the color ofthe gravy is too light, add some
Kitchen Bouquet to taste.

Cover the meat and bake at 325ø for 1-1/2 hours, or until tender.

Serve this with Bacon Corn Bread and Creamed Cornmeal Timbales (see
recipes). They wouldn't have had timbales on the trail, but they sure
are good with this stew.

BUFFALO, TURNIP, AND BERRY RAGOUT

By: Food Journal of Lewis and Clark: Recipes for an Expedit

1 pound buffalo stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-i; nch cubes


1/3 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or othe; r fat
3 to 4 turnips, peeled and cut into eigh; ths
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup dried blueberries

Lewis’s mention of ragouts and truffles morella reminds us that thoughts of


home and familiar surroundings and food did cross the travelers’ minds. Or
Lewis may have wished to return with something new for President Jefferson
and other epicures.
Prairie turnips are not available commercially. This recipe substitutes the
common turnip.

Toss the buffalo cubes in a mixture of cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Heat 1
tablespoon of oil in a heavy 3-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add
the buffalo and brown well on all sides, stirring often, for 5 to 7
minutes, adding additional oil if needed. Reduce the heat to medium if
browning too fast. Stir in 2 cups of water, the turnips, onions, and
blueberries. Bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat to low. Simmer for 1
to 1 1/2 hours, stirring and basting regularly. Serve immediately.

BULLARD'S BEST YET CHILI

1/4 lb pinto beans


1 14 oz. can
3/4 lb onion -- chopped
1/2 lb green bell pepper --
1 chopped
1 tablespoon salad oil
2 garlic clove
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 lb venison -- get butcher to
1 mix
1 beef and pork, then chili
1 grind
1/2 lb pork
1/4 cup chili powder -- (your
1 favorite kind)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 canned stewed tomatoes

"Wash beans and soak overnight in water 2" above beans. Cook in same
water until done; do not drain. Add tomatoes and simmer for 5
minutes. Saute green peppers in salad oil for 5 minutes. Add onions
and cook until tender, stirring often. Add garlic and cilantro. Melt
butter in large skillet and saute meat for 15 minutes. Add meat to
onion mixture and stir in chili powder. Cook 10 minutes. Add this to
beans and the spices. Simmer covered for one hour; cook uncovered for
30 minutes. "Place beer near chili pot and call me."

Lou's notes: This is my brother-in-law Marvin's recipe. It was


published in Southern Living! Marvin's original recipe called for 2
cans of Rotel tomatoes, but that was really, really too hot. Also, I
replaced the parsley originally called for in the recipe with
cilantro and added an extra garlic clove. Lean beef can be
substituted for venison.

BULLETS

hamburger
onions
salt and pepper
flour

Hi. I just joined this group. My Mother used to make us 'Bullets'.


She learned from her Mother. I have Iroquois, Cree, Chippewa, Sioux,
Assiniboine, Ottawa, Blackfoot, French, Scottish........ I haven't
seen any mention of 'Bullets' in all the recipes I read from this
site. Mom would also make up a big mess of Fry Bread to go with them.
She would use hamburger meat, onions cut very tiny, salt and pepper
and enough flour to bind them together well. She would make them the
size of meatballs, and let them boil for hours until a nice thick
gravy was visible in the pot. I'm telling you they were good. I make
them a few times a year, but can never get them to taste as good as
hers. I have really enjoyed reading all the great recipes the resat
of you have put here.

BURNETTS WOODCOCK

4 woodcock, properly hung


115 gm butter
1 rasher of bacon per bird
----FOR THE POTATO CAKES----
750 gm waxy potatoes
2 egg whites
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
150 ml whipping cream
25 gm butter
----FOR THE SAUCE----
4 pigeon livers (use pheasant
1 or chicken if not available)
55 gm butter
2 tablespoon beef stock
10 juniper berries, crushed
1 salt and fresh ground pepper
1 small glass white wine
1 squeeze lemon juice

First make the potatoes, mash them and let them dry well. Beat the egg
whites very stiffly but not dry. Mix the egg yolk and capers and
cream into the mash and fold in the egg whites. Form small cakes and
fry in the butter until brown.

Spread each woodcock generously with butter and cover with a bacon
rasher. Roast in a preheated very hot oven at 220 deg C for 10-15
minutes, depending on how you like them, more if you must.

For the sauce, saute the livers in butter until just cooked, mash and
sieve them. Put the purJe in a pan, thin with white wine and stock,
add juniper berries, seasoning and lemon juice, and simmer for a few
minutes.

Place the cooked woodcock on the potato cakes and serve with the

BUTCHERING VENISON

1 text file

The neck is then separated at it's juncture with the thoracic


vertebrae and also placed in one of the tubs; later, I cut away as
much meat as possible for stew and sausage -- the bones go into the
roasting pan with the shanks, as does the remainder of the spine
which is separated from the pelvis. The hams are disarticulated from
the pelvis and placed in the tubs. The rear shanks, and all of the
remaining big bones are placed in the roasting pan with the other
stock materials. If you have elected to let the tenderloins remain in
place for chops, then lay out the spine section, slice through the
tenderloins down to the bone at whatever width intervals suit you,
and then finish the cuts with your saw, sawing all the way through
the spine. Place the chops in the tubs with the rest of the meat. You
could also make a crown roast by splitting the spine lenghtwise with
a band saw without removing the ribs, but this is stepping into the
realm of the professional butcher, and I would not advise a first
timer getting this complicated as you could easily ruin the best meat
in the world.

At this point you have the dish tubs with two hind quaters ( hams or
haunches) which I usually roast whole for a festive meal, two shoulder
roasts which can be roasted whole, but is better when cut up
(remember to save those bones for the stockpot!) and turned into
chili or whatever happens to be your favorite stew, two racks of
venison ribs, two backstraps which make wonderful grill fare, two
tenderloins for steaking, the brisket for jerky, and whatever scraps
you may accumulate here and there for sausage. You also have a
rosting pan with the four shanks, the spine and other large bones.
All of this is then taken into the kitchen for a thorough washing in
cold water, and trimmed of any (and all!) bloodshot meat. At this
point, the meat is wrapped, marked, and dated, and *then* popped into
the freezer. The stock materials are thoroughly dried with towels,
returned to the roasting pan and browned in a very hot oven,
preparatory to making a rich brown stock which becomes the basis for
sauces, gravies, and stews. Just follow any recipe you may have for
brown beef stock, and when finished, freeze that as well in two-cup
quanities.

The only remaining task is to saw off the top section of the skull to
claim your rack, and clean up. The whole task doesn't take a hell of
a lot longer than I've described and you will have done it yourself!
In the off chance that you do take the buck of the century, you may
want to consider professional butchering as he will have the
necessary power tools to provide you with large steaks from the round
and an assortment of loin chops, but even then make sure you retain
at least one of the haunches whole for a crowd pleasing feast of
roast venison.

CACTUS STEW

1 cactus paddle (about 8 oz.)


salt
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove
several sprigs cilantro
dry husks from 4 tomatillos, opt.
2 lb. finely diced venison, bison, elk, m; oose, etc.
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can enchilada sauce
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. toasted cumin seed, crushed or grou; nd
2 T. masa harina
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. minced cilantro
1 toasted japones chile, ground, opt.

Use a sharp paring knife to slice off the spine nodes. Trim around the edge
of the paddle where the spines are closer together. It is not necessary to
peel the cactus, only to remove the nodes and spines on both sides. Trim
off
the blunt end where the paddle was cut from the plant. Cut the paddle into
1/4' strips about 2' long.

Bring 4 quarts water with 1 tablespoon salt, the onion, garlic, cilantro
and
tomatillo husks to a boil; drop in the cactus strips. (Tomatillo husks help
retain the bright green color of the cactus.) Blanch the cactus until just
crisp tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain strips in a colander and rinse
with cool water.

Place the meat in a pot with 3 cups of water. Simmer, covered, until the
water is just about gone. Drain off the fat. To the drained meat, add
minced
garlic, the red chile sauce and spices. Simmer about 30 minutes. Taste and
adjust salt as needed, then stir in the drained nopalitos. Simmer for 20
minutes. Blend the masa harina and water to make a paste; whisk it into the
stew for a thickener. Simmer 5 minutes longer, then stir in the cilantro.
If
you like a spicy stew, add the japones chile. Serve in bowls accompanied by
warm tortillas.

CAJUN RAGIN' RABBIT

1 tablespoon brown sugar


1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
2 whole rabbits about 2 1/2
1 lb ea.; quartered
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
1 tablespoon creol mustard

Serving Suggestions: Lead off dinner with Smoked Spud Skins, hot from
the smoke. Then serve the rabbit with lightly buttered noodles,
Killed Salad, Squash Relish, and, for good measure, Peanut butter
Cake.

BBQ Tips: The funcution of the cheesecloth in the Ragin' Rabbit and
other recipes is to keep lean meat moist durring its slow smoking.
You can skip the wrapping in smokers designed for moist cooking, such
as water smokers and Cookshack ovens. Directions: About 2 to 3 hours
befor you plan to barbecue, combine the dry rub ingredients in a
small bowl. Massage the meat lightly with oil and mustard and
sprinkle evenly with the dry rub. Place the meat in a shallow glass
ovenproff or other smoke proff dish, cover it, and refrigerate it.

Prepair the smoker for barbecuing, bring the tempture to 200-220F.

Remove the rabbit from the refrigerator and let it sit in the dish,
covered, at room tempture for 30 to 30 minutes. Cur a yard-long
section of cheesecloth and dampen it thoroughtly with water. Uncover
the dish and drape the top of it loosely with several thicknesses of
forled chesecloth.

Transfer the cheesecloth-covered dish to the smoker. Cook for about


1 1/4 hours, wetting down the cheesecloth with warm water a couple of
times in a wood-burning pit, or with other style smokers every time
you raise the lid. The cheesecloth will brown but won't burn if it is
kept moist. Remove the cheesecloth from the meat and discard it.
Continue smoking until the meat is cooked through but still juicy, an
addititional 15 to 25 minutes.

Serve the rabbit immediatly.

CALVIN'S MUM'S BAKED RABBIT

1 rabbit per person *


----DRY MIX----
1 cup crushed and powdered corn
1 flakes
1/2 cup whole or white wheat flour
2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon chile powder (or 2 or 3??)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely crushed tarragon or
1 sub coriander

* or Felis domesticus

Cut rabbit(s) into serving pieces.

Mix all coating ingredients together, roll rabbit in mix to coat.


Brown in deep skillet or dutch oven in olive oil.

Remove rabbit pieces and set aside.

Add regular flour to cracklings and olive oil (about 1:1 ratio), need
about 1/2 cup flour or so for gravy sauce.

Heat oil/flour/cracklings, stirring, until light odor of bread starts


to appear.(Gets thick and pastey)

Let cool 5 minutes, stir in 6+ cups milk to make gravy. Bring to a


boil, stirring to prevent sticking. Gravy should thicken and lumps
dissolve after a little boiling. Stir in enough half&half to cover
rabbit pieces. Add more chile powder and salt to gravy if desired.

Place rabbit in pot, bones sticking up for handles. Cover all meat if
possible. Bake, covered, 1 1/2 hours at 275-300 degrees F.

Serve gravy over wild rice, with buttered yeast rolls, tossed salad
on the side.

I learned to cook this from my mother, who is an excellent wild game


cook. (I did add chile powder, she doesn't use very much.) She often
served rabbit with corn bread, sweeter than usual, with whole kernel
corn and chopped peppers added. MMMmmmm.

CANNED CHICKEN OR RABBIT

1 chickens
1 rabbits

Dress animals and cut up as for frying parts. Trim off all fatty
parts. Refrigerate fresh meat overnight. Set aside giblets for other
preparation; they discolor the meat when canned. Take the bony parts:
necks, backs and wing tips and prepare a broth with them. Strain the
broth and discard the bones. Add the meaty parts to the broth. Cook
until just done. Chill; remove congealed fat, de-bone and re-heat.
Pack the hot meat in jars and cover to within 1" of the top of the
jars with boiling broth, adding up to 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper
per quart. Process at 10 lb for 75 min [pints] to 90 min [quarts].

CARIBOU TENDERLOIN STEAK WITH CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND C

4 caribou tenderloin steaks (5


1 to 6 ounces each, about 3/4
1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
2/3 cup rich beef stock
1/2 cup dry white french vermouth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon
1 juice
2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
1 tarragon leaves
1 cup cooked chanterelles
1 cup cooked chanterelles:
3/8 lb chanterelles
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon butter
1 small minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon

Cook the mushrooms: Carefully remove any dirt from the chanterelles
with a soft-bristled brush. Melt butter in a 12 inch skillet over low
heat. Add the mushrooms, salt, and a few grindings of black pepper.
Toss to coat the mushrooms with the butter and cover the pan. Cook
slowly, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender but
have a slightly firmness, about 15 minutes. Stir in shallot and
tarragon. Cook, covered, 5 more minutes. The mushrooms should be
lightly browned with no juice remaining in the pan. Pat the caribou
steaks with paper towels. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet
over medium high heat, add the steaks and cook 2 minutes on each side
for medium rare. Transfer to a plate; cover and keep warm. Pour off
fat in the skillet and return to the pan to medium high heat. Add the
butter, and after it has melted, stir in the chanterelles. When the
mushrooms are hot, pour in the stock and vermouth. Cook at a brisk
boil, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half and
is syrupy. Add the cream, salt, and pepper, and continue reducing for
several minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats a metal
spoon. Stir in the lemon juice. Stir in the tarragon and return the
steaks back to the pan. Cook briefly just to heat through, while
spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the meat. Serve immediately.

CASSEROLE OF VENISON W/ PRUNES & PICKLED WALN

2 tablespoon flour; all-purpose (heaped)


1/2 teaspoon salt
1 black pepper to taste
3 lb venison; cut into 1-inch
1 . cubes
4 tablespoon sunflower oil
3 onions; finely sliced
2 1/2 cup red wine
2 1/2 cup water
1 can pickled walnuts; 15oz, drain
8 prunes; soaked until soft,
1 . stoned & chopped

The prunes and pickled walnuts provide just the sweet and sharp
contrast that complements the flavour of venison so well.

Put the flour, salt and a good grinding of pepper into a bowl. Toss
the pieces of venison in the seasoned flour to coat. Heat the oil in
a heavy flameproof casserole and brown the meat, a few pieces at a
time; remove the browned meat and keep it warm while you brown the
rest. When all the meat is browned, add the onions to the casserole
and cook them until they are soft and translucent, 5-10 minutes. Stir
in the wine and water, scraping the bits off the bottom of the
casserole with a wooden spoon. When the liquid is simmering. replace
the browned meat in the casserole, and stir in the pickled walnuts
and prunes.
Cover the casserole with a lid, and cook in a preheated moderate
oven (350oF / 180oC / gas 4) for an hour. Let the casserole cool
completely, then store in the refrigerator overnight. Cook it for a
further hour at the same temperature before serving. All stews and
casseroles benefit in flavour from reheating. "Lady MacDonald's

CASSEROLED DOVE BREASTS AND WILD RICE

10 dove breasts
1 juice from 1/2 lemon
1 salt
1 pepper
1 rib celery
1/2 lb mushrooms (that's one half
1 pound)
4 scallions (green onions)
3 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cup chicken stock (that's one
1 and one half cups)
2/3 cup wild rice (that's two thirds
1 cup)

I tried a new dove recipe this past weekend and thought I would pass
it along. This has to be one of the best recipes for doves I have
ever used.

Rinse the wild rice, drain, and set aside. Skin the dove breasts,
wipe with lemon juice, and salt and pepper the breasts. Chop the
mushrooms, scallions and celery. Sautee them in the butter lightly
(3-5 minutes). Put the wild rice in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Arrange the dove breasts on top of the wild rice. Pour celery,
mushroom, and scallion mixture over doves. Add rest of ingredients
(tarragon, white wine, and chicken stock). Place the dish, covered,
in a 325 degree preheated oven and let cook for one and one half to
one and three quarter hours (90 - 105 minutes).

This recipe keeps the dove breasts moist and tender!!!

Keith

This sounds like a good recipe. However, if you really want to go


all out, here are few suggested changes:

Pluck and draw the dove and use the back, leg and thigh too. In a
roasting pan, baste the little babies with chicken or duck fat
(butter will do in a pinch but be liberal with the fat so the birds
remain moist). pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees and roast them. Baste
every 20 minutes and check to see if they're done everytime you go to
baste (you can tell by proding at the breast meat with a fork. If it
pulls away from the sternum fairly easily then it is done. It's best
to undercook slightly at this point because you will be cooking them
again with the rice). Now take and pull the meat from the birds and
set aside. Take the remaining bones and put into a stock pot and
cover with cold water until about two inches above the bones. Add a
quartered onion to the pot along with a bulb of garlic (around 8
cloves - cut in half and use germ too). Add a carrot (broken into two
or three pieces). Bring the stock to a boil and reduce heat to low
and let slowly simmer for two hours minimum (I'd suggest 4 hours).
Page 320

Add water if it drops below the bones. Substitute dove stock for the
chicken stock below.

Now take the pan drippings from the roaster and pour into a skillet
(add duck/chicken fat or butter until you have about 3 or 4
tablespoons of fat (total) in the skillet. Saute chopped veggies in
this mixture. Add wild rice to the skillet and coat well with the fat
(stir for about 3 minutes). Now add the dove stock (see amount below)
directly to the skillet and bring to a simmer for 3 or 4 minutes. Now
add to the casserole dish along with the meat, wine (see amount
below) and tarragon (personally, I'd use sage here but it's because I
hate tarragon). The cooking times listed below will need to change
for this recipe as well. Cover dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45
minutes.

I hope my modifications don't offend you Keith. Your recipe really


is one of the better ones I've seen on this group.

CECINA: MEXICAN JERKY

1 venison

Cecina is a Mexican jerky preferably done with venison. The larger


roasts with no fat and few sections are perfect to cut accordion style
1/4 inch thick, rub down with lemon and salt and stretched out to dry:
1.under the sun covered with cheese cloth, 2.in a 180°F oven stretched
over the racks or3. in a food dehydrator. Dry it until it is the
consistency of leather (not hard and brittle). You may dry it a little
more if you plan on storing it very long. It does not take a long time
to dry using these methods: on a hot sunny day (cooling racks
covering a table outside) loaded with venison and covered with cheese
cloth may take 4 to six hours depending on the humidity. Your being
in the south means you might have an extra vehicle (junker) on the
lot that would work as a table and makes a great heat sink to speed
up drying time (that's whut I did). The hardest part of this recipe
is watching it cook for 4 hours keeping a cold Tecate in your hand.
Cecina is cooked briefly in a hot oiled skillet or grilled and sliced
like fajitas to serve with tortillas, salsa lime and guacamole.
Venison is a rare treat in southern Mexico, so the last 10 pound
batch I brought to in-laws disappeared the same night. Hope this

CHARGRILLED KANGAROO OR OSTRICH WITH SMOKED OYSTER BUTTER

2 6 oz ostrich or kangaroo fillet ste; aks


4 oz butter
1/2 can smoked oysters
1 lemon; zest of
1 sprig fresh thyme; chopped
----GARNISH----
1 fresh herbs and flowers

First take the butter and soften it in a bowl with a spoon. Add the
oysters, lemon zest and thyme. Season with a little black pepper. Now
pop the butter on top of some cling film. Spread it lengthways and
then roll it like a cigar. Seal at both ends by twisting the cling
film and then place in the freezer until firm. (Not too long as you
don't want it frozen.)

Season both the fillets with black pepper and heat a chargrill pan
(or you can use the BBQ) until very hot. Rub the steak with some oil
and then put into the pan. Turn the heat down slightly so you don't
cremate the steak! Once seared on one side turn over and repeat on
the other. Then turn once more on each side until the steak is
medium. Kangaroo is much better medium rare, otherwise it can be
stringy. Medium is firm, yet still springy to the touch.

Once cooked, place on a serving dish, then take out the butter from
the fridge. Unwrap the clingfilm and slice the butter evenly. Place
as many of the discs as you want on top of the steak to melt in.
Garnish with fresh herbs and flowers.

With Roasted Green Chili, Tomatoes and Spiced Tomato Broth


Two and a half gallon soup/stock pot

TECHNIQUE:
There are steps to be taken for this seemingly simple pot of stew. It is
CRUCIAL that you fabricate your pork shoulder and cut the meat off the bone
producing 1/2 inch “steaks”. There is a bone deep inside the meat of the
pork shoulder. This bone must be removed, reserved and put into a small pot
with salt, ground pepper, and 1/4 cup diced onion. Allow this to come to a
boil and then reduce to a slight rolling boil until ALL your prep is
complete.
Use hands and mix the marinate and pork well.

Sweat onions until translucent and tender. At that point add the garlic and
continue to sweat until fragrant. Quickly add Paprika, cumin, chili powder
(1 tsb. ea.) and half of the tomato product. Do not caramelize or brown
the onions/garlic.
Add the charred, diced pork and one 4 oz. Can of diced green chilies allow
Page 332

to slightly cook. Add the Pork shoulder bone broth to cover the meat and
simmer an hour and a half until the meat is almost tender. At this point
add the White Hominy, green chili and remainder of spices. Simmer for 30-40
minutes.
Finish with salt, pepper, lime and chopped cilantro. (Serve with tortillas
or Frybread.)
TOTAL COOKING TIME AND PREP 2 HOURS.

Production Notes:

It is important that you fabricate, marinate and char your pork first.
Remove the shoulder bone brown in the oven or in a sauté pan and cover with
water for you broth. This will save you time and allow the cooking
preparation process to go smoothly. Char, dice and set aside while you chop
garlic onions and measure dry spices.
Gather all items and prepare to cook.

CHEROKEE PEPPERPOT-VENISON

1 pound venison or beef short ribs or shank; s


2 quarts water
2 large onions, quartered

catsup, to taste

This Cherokee version of Pepper Pot Soup, unlike the famous pepper pots
of Pennsylvania, does not call for tripe, though on some occasions it may
well
have been added. Also, though it is a matter of personal taste, Cherokee
cooking
is not extremely hot and sicy. The pepper in the pot is of the sweet bell
variety.
Put meat, water and onions in a heavy soup kettle. Cover and bring to a
boil
over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours. Remove meat, let
cool, and discard bones, returning meat to pot. Stir in remaining
vegetables and
simmer, partially covered, for 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt, pepper and
catsup.

CHESTNUT SQUASH PUREE

By: Lorna Sass' Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure.

1 1/2 to 2 lb. butternut squash


1/2 c. dried chestnuts (or 3/4 c. roasted; fresh nuts, peeled)
1 c. nut soaking liquid
1 T. dried sage
1 T. salt

Soak the chestnuts overnight in 1 cup of water. Drain, reserving the


liquid. Peel and cut the squash into about 1 inch cubes. Chop the
chestnuts-some will still be quite hard, but they'll cook up fine. Add
water to the soaking liquid to make 1 full cup if necessary. Put all in a
pressure cooker, cover and bring to high pressure and cook for 5 minutes.
After pressure is reduced, purree. I use my immersion blender for this.
Add
more water if necessary.

This makes a fairly stiff purree, about the texture of mashed potatoes,
very
sweet and slightly smokey.

Note: If you haven't got a pressure cooker, cook on the stovetop until
squash and nuts are tender. You may need to add some extra water.

CHICAGO BEAR SAUSAGE

30 lb ground bear meat


6 teaspoon red peppers
12 lb ground pork butt
15 teaspoon garlic salt
3 lb thick slab bacon, ground
7 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Mix all together. Fry in pan for breakfast sausage, good on pizza, and
makes great meatballs as well.

CHICKEN OR RABBIT

1 chicken
1 rabbit

Procedure: Choose freshly killed and dressed, heathy animals. Large


chickens are more flavorful than fryers. Dressed chicken should be
chilled for 6 to 12 hours before canning. Dressed rabbits should be
soaked 1 hour in water containing 1 tablespoon of salt per quart, and
then rinsed. Remove excess fat. Cut the chicken or rabbit into
suitable sizes for canning. Can with or without bones.

Hot pack--Boil, steam or bake meat until about two-thirds done. Add 1
teaspoon salt per quart to the jar, if desired. Fill jars with pieces
and hot broth, leaving 1-1/4 inch headspace.

Raw pack--Add 1 teaspoon salt per quart, if desired. Fill jars


loosely with raw meat pieces, leaving 1-1/4 inch headspace. Do not
add liquid.

Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 or


Table 2 according to the canning method used.

CHICKEN WITH PUMKIN SEED SAUCE

4 lb roasting chicken
4 cup hot chicken stock, or more
1 if needed
3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
8 black peppercorns
1/8 teaspoon cumin seeds
3 tomatillos or green
1 tomatoes
4 hot green chilies (jalapeno
1 or serrano), roasted, peeled
1 seeded
4 green onions, with tops
2 cloves garlic, mashed
2 tablespoon chicken fat or lard
1 bunch young radish leaves or
1 mustard greens
2 large romaine lettuce leaves
4 sprigs fresh coriander
1 (cilantro)

Put whole chicken in a casserole, cover with the stock, and bring to a
simmer. Cover pot and poach chicken just below the simmering point
over very low heat or in a very low oven (275 degrees) for 1 hour.
Remove chicken from stock and let it cool enough to carve it.

Toast the pumpkin seeds together with the peppercorns and cumin in a
hot ungreased skillet about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent
scorching. Put into a blender and grind fine.

Remove outer husks from the tomatillos, put them in a pan with cold
water to cover, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes, drain, then
add them to the blender with 1/2 cup of their liquid and blend to a
smooth thick puree. Chop all the remaining ingredients and add them
to the blender. Add chicken stock, if needed, to thin the puree. Pour
sauce into the skillet and simmer about 10 minutes to evaporate some
of the liquid.

Carve chicken in 4 or more pieces and add to the sauce, coating the
pieces well. If possible,let chicken sit overnight in the sauce so
that the seasoning permeates and the hotness of the chili diminishes.
Reheat gently so that sauce does not boil. Serve hot or at room
temperature.

If the Indians of the Americas gave Spain its first turkey, Spain
gave the Indians their first domesticated chicken. The results of
such culinary crossing are birds of both kinds simmered in rich
sauces called mole. The word means a mixture of any kind, and one of
the best mixtures is made of Indian squash or pumpkin seeds to flavor
Spanish chicken. The sauce below would be called a green mole, or
Page 343

mole verde, because it has everything green about it: green pumpkin
seeds, green chilies, green Mexican tomatillos, and even radish and
romaine greens. The flavor is as gentle and unusual as the color.

CHICKEN-FRIED RABBIT WITH CREAM GRAVY

2 cottontail rabbits; cut


1 into
1 serving pieces
4 tablespoon flour
1 salt & freshly ground
1 pepper
5 tablespoon lard; for starters
2 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Shake the rabbit in a paper bag with the flour, salt, and pepper.
Pick a heavy skillet (which some lid will fit) that, crowded, will
just hold the rabbit pieces. Melt the lard in it until hot, then turn
heat to medium, crowd in the rabbit pieces, and for the next 10 to 20
minutes stand over the skillet, turning and adjusting the pieces
until all sides are golden brown.

As you brown the pieces, their floured surfaces may absorb enough fat
to require more lard; add as needed.

Now, turn heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 12 minutes
or so. Turn the pieces, if need be, during this process.

Turn heat to medium or medium high, remove lid, and turning the
pieces when needed, evaporate the moisture for another 10 minutes or
so.

Remove rabbit to a hot platter, pour off all but 3 tablespoon or so


of fat, stir the flour into the fat and "greables" (or dredgings) and
cook over low heat for 2 minutes or so.

Off heat, stir in the milk, then back on low heat cook until it
starts to thicken. Stir in the cream and continue to heat but do not
boil.

For a variation, stir in with the cream 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard


and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan.

CHILE RECIPES FOR GAME MEAT

1 text file

I am actually creating a book concerning exactly that subject,


charlotte, tentatively called 'the hot and the hunted.' i eat (at
home) only critters from the bush, as i avoid purchasing meat over
the counter. so, if i don't hunt/kill it, i don't eat it (exceptions
are made for some restaurants, of course =^)). anyway, i can offer
some generalizations on the subject of chiles and game, and will tip
you on recipes if you give me some specific interests.

generally, chipotles will contribute a wonderful blend of flavour and


heat to game of all kinds. chipotles also help mask the 'gaminess'
that turns so many off from wild game. use 'em as a rub or a crumble
for roasting. use the en adobo style as a marinade or stew the game
in a slow cooker with the en adobo as a base and add cream, mushroom
soup, whatever.

other powdered chiles will add a depth of character to game and heat,
but the flavour is tough to preserve opposite the strong meat
flavour(s).

jalapenos (fresh) can be used when preparing roasts and the like. the
heat will bake out of the peppers slowly, as will the flavour, and be
transfered to the game. if you like the flavour of jala's, nothing
has a better flavour than slow-roasted duck with jalapenos, onions
and garlic that roasted with it!

serranos are also a good variety to experiment with, whereas larger


peppers (numex) are better dried and used in marinades or sprinkles,
as they just hold up flavour-wise. el grande is too thin a pepper to
use whole with game, but when turned into a mash can be used in a
marinade or spooned directly onto the critter before cooking. in the
alternative, mashed habs can be used as a simple hot relish to cut
the finished product.

this stuff applies mostly to game birds and large four-legs (deer,
elk, moose, bison, &ct.) bottom line: have fun. cheers h. alan

CHILEHEADS JAMAICAN RICE AND PEAS

1 16 oz can pigeon peas


6 habanero chiles -- roasted &
1 chopped
6 cloves garlic -- finely
1 chopped
1/2 medium vidalia onion -- chopped
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cup rice
1 15 oz can coconut milk
1 water
4 teaspoon wyler's granulated chicken
1 boulion

Rice and peas (or beans) is a very popular dish throughout the
Caribbean, and perhaps because eating rice with hot foods helps to
tame the fire. (Not this rice!) The peas used in this recipe are
called pigeon or gungo peas. They are about the size of garden peas
and are usually found dried. However, cooked, canned pigeon peas are
also available. If they are not available in your area, black-eyed
peas or kidney beans can be substituted. (Not the same, however)

If using canned peas, drain and reserve the liquid.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over high heat. Add the rice, and
continue saute until the rice turns opaque and golden brown. Add the
chile, garlic, and onion and saute for a few more minutes. Beware the
fumes!!! Be careful not to let the rice brown or over brown.

Stir the peas in with the rice. Do not stir again during cooking!

Combine the coconut milk with the bean liquid. Add water to make 4
cups of liquid. dd to the rice and bring to a boil. Immediately
reduce the heat to simmer.

Cook uncovered until the liquid is slightly below the surface of the
rice and holes form in the rice. Cover the pot and cook for 20 to 25
minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Allow
to sit covered for another 1/2 hour.

Tips from the Kitchen

Variation
Vary the heat level in chili by adding more or less chili powder or red
pepper sauce. Also, try different brands of red pepper sauce because each
has its
own unique flavor and 'kick.'

CHIPOTLE YAK CHILI

1/4 cup olive oil


1 large spanish onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 lb yak meat, ground
1 28-ounce can peeled plum tomatoes
2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, c; hopped
1 tablespoon kosher or coarse sea salt, or to t; aste
2 teaspoon dried crumbled oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to; taste
3 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 saltines or corn chips (optional)

Time: 2 hours

1. In a heavy 6-quart pot over high heat, warm olive oil and add
onion. Cook over medium heat until onion is pale golden, about 10
minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring, 1 minute longer. Add meat,
and sear it, stirring constantly, until it turns brown, 10 to 15
minutes.

2. Add tomatoes, chilies, salt, oregano, cumin, bay leaf and black
pepper. Simmer, partly covered, until tomatoes break down and chili
thickens slightly, about 45 minutes. Stir chili occasionally.

3. Stir in cilantro, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Taste, and


season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve with crackers or
corn chips, if desired.

Yak is as lean as venison or bison (about 5 percent fat, compared to


about 15 percent for beef), and, to some, tastes juicier, sweeter and
more delicate. Certainly the people of Tibet and Nepal think so.
There, yaks have been an integral part of the culture for 5,000
years, used not only as pack animals and for milk but also as a
source of meat.

"It's sweeter than even farmed venison and more tender than buffalo,"
said Joseph Wrede, the chef and owner of Joseph's Table, a restaurant
in Taos, N.M., that is in the process of moving elsewhere in town. He
serves cubed yak meat in a savory stew with aromatic vegetables, and
"yakballs" in a heady red-wine sauce, atop pappardelle pasta or
simmered in a chili. "We sell a lot of it," he said. "The people who
are brave enough to try it really get into yak."

About a dozen restaurants in the United States regularly offer yak.


They include De la Tierra at the Sundy House in Delray Beach, Fla.,
where Johnny Vinczencz coats yak tenderloin in a mustard crust, and
the Cosmopolitan in Telluride, Colo., where Chad Scothorn serves yak
steaks as a special, using the same kinds of sauces he would with
beef.

CHRISTOPHER'S DEER BACKSTRAP

1 whole venison backstrap


1/2 lb bacon slices
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

An easy recipe for venison backstrap is to cut it lengthwise into 3


equal strips. Season to taste (we use salt, pepper and garlic powder)
then roll each strip up, circle with a slice of bacon and secure with
a toothpick. What you should have will look like a filet mignon and
after you grill it rare over coals will taste twice as good.

CIDER SQUIRRELS SOUTHERN STYLE

4 large rats or 2 squirrels (gray,


1 fox, or black), or 2 rabbits
1 flour
1 salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon powdered sage
1/4 teaspoon powdered rosemary
3 tablespoon bacon or sausage fat
1 quart dry cider
4 tablespoon butter
1 cup heavy cream

Skin, eviscerate, and disjoint the animals, making sure to remove the
small scent sacs from beneath the forelegs. If these glands are not
removed, a bitter taste will be imparted to the dish. Soak the
pieces for one hour in cold water to which 1 teaspoon salt has been
added. Remove, drain, and pat dry.

Roll the pieces in flour seasoned with salt, pepper, sage and
rosemary. (Prepared poultry seasoning is a good substitute.) Heat
the bacon fat in a deep skillet and brown the pieces on all sides.
Add the cider and simmer until the meat is almost tender.

Remove the cover and continue cooking until the meat is tender and
most of the liquid absorbed. Remove the cooked pieces and put aside
to cool. Reserve any pan liquids for the gravy.

Roll the pieces in the seasoned flour again, heat the butter in
another skillet, and rebrown the meat until golden and crisp.

Put the pieces on a heated platter, and keep warm, while you add all
juices and scrapings to the skillet. Make a paste of a tablespoon of
flour and the heavy cream. Pour this slowly into the pan juices,
stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth, hot, and slightly
thick. Ladle the gravy over the meat and serve.

----CROUTONS----
3 sliced day-old white bread,
1 crusts removed
30 gm (1 oz) buttr, melted
45 ml (3 tbsp) chopped
1 parsley</i>

NOTE:

A French civet is normally a winter dish made with hare. It is cooked


in red wine and the sauce is traditionally thickened with the
animal's blood, which gives the civet its characteristic colour and
taste. A simpler year-round civet can be made with rabbit, marinated
overnight

in an aromatic mixture of wine, garlic and peppercorns. Even without


the blood, this stew has a mildly gamey taste and is best served with
a rich red wine either from Burgundy or Rhone. Cut the rabbit into
serving pieces. Put the pieces into a non-aluminium container with
all of the marinade ingredients except the oil, then drizzle the oil
over the top. Leave the rabbit to marinate for at least 12 hours, or
overnight.

Preheat the oven to 220 C (425 F) mark 7.

Remove the rabbit pieces from the marinade and pat dry with paper
Page 372

towels. Strain the marinade; reserve the liquid and the vegetables
separately. Heat 45 g (1.5 oz) butter in a heavy flameproof casserole
over high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and cook until golden brown on
all sides. Transfer to a shallow dish. Add the marinated vegetables
to the casserole and cook over high heat until lightly browned. Stir
in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the marinade and bring
to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the marinade for 2 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Return the rabbit pieces to the casserole,
season with salt and pepper and cook in the oven for about 45
minutes, until the pieces are tender when pierced with a knife.

Meanwhile, turn and boil the potatoes agrave l'anglaise. Meanwhile,


keep warm in the cooking liquid.

Peel and glaze the pickling onions with 15 g (1/2 oz) butter, a pinch
of salt and the sugar. Cover to keep warm.

Cut the bacon into lardons. Blanch and drain. Heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) oil
and 30 g (1 oz) butter in a frying pan over high heat. Add the
blanched lardons and cook until crisp and golden. Drain and add to
the pan with the onions.

Heat 30 g (1 oz) butter in the pan used for the lardons. Add the
mushrooms and cook over high heat until the moisture has evaporated
and the mushrooms are golden. Add to the pan with the onions and the
lardons.

PREPARE THE CROUTONS:

Cut each slice of bread in half to form 2 triangles. Brush each


triangle on both sides with melted butter and arrange on a baking
sheet. Toast in the oven until golden; set aside.

When the rabbit is tender, remove from the oven. Transfer the rabbit
pieces to a bowl. Strain the cooking liquid, pressing down on the
solids to extract the liquid; discard the solids. Return the strained
liquid to the casserole, bring to the boil, and reduce over medium
heat until thickened

Return the rabbit, along with the onions, lardons and mushrooms to the
casserole and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and
adjust the seasoning.

TO SERVE:

Transfer the rabbit, onions, lardons and mushrooms to a large serving


platter with a slotted spoon. Dip one end of each crouton into the
sauce and then into the chopped parsley and arrange around the edge
of the platter. Spoon the sauce over the rabbit and vegetables. Serve
with the boiled potatoes.

CUTTING A RABBIT INTO SERVING PIECES

With a large, heavy knife trim the ends of the front and hind legs.
Cut off the front and hind legs at the joints. Cut the hind legs into
2 pieces at the joint and the body into 3 equal sections. Cut the rib
section in half through the breast and back bones and then cut each
half in half.

POMMES DE TERRE A L'ANGLAISE (ENGLISH BOILED POTATOES):

Serves 6.

In France, anything that is simply boiled is said to be a l'anglaise,


English-style. Unlike their English counterparts, however, French
chefs typically "turn" their vegetables (cut them into barrel shapes)
before boiling them to ensure even cooking.18 small waxy potatoes
(red or white)

X Salt 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped parsley

TURN THE POTATOES:

Fill a bowl with cold water. Use a pating knife to cut the potatoes
into chunks about 6.5 cm (2.5 inches) long and 4 cm (1.5 inches)
thick. Cut off both ends of the chunks and then pare down the sides,

CIVET DE LAPIN À LA FRANÇAISE

3 1/2 lb rabbit
1 marinade:
1 medium carrot; sliced
1 medium onion; sliced
2 cloves garlic; crushed
2 whole cloves
20 peppercorns
1 bouquet garni
1 3/4 pint dry red wine
3 tablespoon cognac
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 1/2 oz butter
3 tablespoon flour
1 salt and freshly ground
1 pepper
2 lb waxy potatoes (red or
1 white)
36 pickling onions
1 tablespoon sugar
5 oz green unsmoked bacon
1 sliced 1/4 inch
1 thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 oz button or quartered large
1 mushrooms; trimmed
1 croutons:
3 sliced day-old white bread
1 crusts removed
1 oz butter; melted
3 tablespoon chopped parsley

Cut the rabbit into serving pieces. Put the pieces into a
non-aluminium container with all of the marinade ingredients except
the oil, then drizzle the oil over the top. Leave the rabbit to
marinate for at least 12 hours, or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 425 F.

Remove the rabbit pieces from the marinade and pat dry with paper
towels. Strain the marinade; reserve the liquid and the vegetables
separately. Heat 1.5 oz butter in a heavy flameproof casserole over
high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and cook until golden brown on all
sides. Transfer to a shallow dish. Add the marinated vegetables to the
casserole and cook over high heat until lightly browned. Stir in the
flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the marinade and bring to the
boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the marinade for 2 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Return the rabbit pieces to the casserole, season with
salt and pepper and cook in the oven for about 45 minutes, until the
pieces are tender when pierced with a knife.

Meanwhile, turn and boil the potatoes à l'anglaise. Meanwhile, keep


warm in the cooking liquid.
Page 376

Peel and glaze the pickling onions with 15 g (1/2 oz) butter, a pinch
of salt and the sugar. Cover to keep warm.

Cut the bacon into lardons; blanch and drain. Heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 oz
butter in a frying pan over high heat. Add the blanched lardons and
cook until crisp and golden. Drain and add to the pan with the onions.

Heat 1 oz butter in the pan used for the lardons. Add the mushrooms
and cook over high heat until the moisture has evaporated and the
mushrooms are golden. Add to the pan with the onions and the lardons.

Prepare the croûtons: cut each slice of bread in half to form 2


triangles. Brush each triangle on both sides with melted butter and
arrange on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden; set aside.

When the rabbit is tender, remove from the oven. Transfer the rabbit
pieces to a bowl. Strain the cooking liquid, pressing down on the
solids to extract the liquid; discard the solids. Return the strained
liquid to the casserole, bring to the boil, and reduce over medium
heat until thickened Return the rabbit, along with the onions, lardons
and mushrooms to the casserole and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

To serve, transfer the rabbit, onions, lardons and mushrooms to a


large serving platter with a slotted spoon. Dip one end of each
croûton into the sauce and then into the chopped parsley and arrange
around the edge of the platter. Spoon the sauce over the rabbit and
vegetables. Serve with the boiled potatoes.

Rabbit Stew with Red Wine. A French civet is normally a winter dish
made with hare. It is cooked in red wine and the sauce is
traditionally thickened with the animal's blood, which gives the civet
its characteristic colour and taste. A simpler year-round civet can be
made with rabbit, marinated overnight in an aromatic mixture of wine,
garlic and peppercorns. Even without the blood, this stew has a mildly
gamey taste and is best served with a rich red wine either from
Burgundy or the Cotes du Rhone.

1 text only

This recipe comes from Colombia in South America. Rabbit meat is very
low in fat and can be dry tasting, so it marries well with coconut
cream. It is best to cook the rabbit gently till it is falling off
the bone.

Chop a rabbit into serving pieces. Chop finely one large onion and 2
cloves of garlic. Seed and slice a large green capsicum, half a
large red capsicum and finely slice 3 birdseye chillies (decrease the
quantity and discard the seeds if you can't cope with too much chilli
heat). Peel and chop a large tomato and have ready 400 ml strong veal
or chicken stock and 150 ml coconut cream.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and brown the rabbit pieces.
Transfer them to a large saucepan. In the remaining oil in the
frying pan, saute the onions, capsicums and chillies. Add to the
saucepan with the tomato, salt and pepper to taste, and the stock.
Bring just to simmering point, cover and cook very gently for about 2
hours or even more. Lift the rabbit pieces out onto a dish and turn
the heat up high under the saucepan. Reduce the liquid in the
saucepan by about half.

Lower the heat and stir in the coconut cream. Return the rabbit
pieces and cook gently, stirring, for a few minutes. Serve with rice.

3 lb rabbit, dressed, in 8 pieces
1 salt
1 pepper to taste

10 sprigs italian parsley,
1 leaves only
4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 to taste
1 to serve:
1 italian parsley leaves
1 rosemary leaves

Place the rabbit in a bowl of cold water with the vinegar and soak it
for half an hour. (If using chicken instead, omit this step). Cut
pancetta or prosciutto into very small pieces and finely chop the
rosemary and combine them, or even better, coarsely grind pancetta
and rosemary together.

Place a casserole with the butter and oil over medium heat and when
the oil is warm, add the pancetta/rosemary mixture and the bay leaves
to saute for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, quickly drain the rabbit
pieces, pat them dry with paper towels, and add them to the
casserole. Let them saute all over until very lightly golden.
Season with salt and pepper. Add the broth, a small quantity at a
time, turning the rabbit over several times, and cook until soft,
about 25 minutes for a 2 pound rabbit.

As the rabbit cooks, prepare the peppers - Warm the butter with the
oil in a saucepan over low heat, then add the anchovies and mash
them with a fork. Be sure the heat remains constantly low, so the
Page 395

anchovies do not crumble and become very fishy. Put in the peppers
and saute for 5 minutes. Raise heat, add 1/2 cup of cold water,
and cook the peppers for 5 minutes more; at that point, the peppers
should be half-cooked. Add the garlic, parsley and vinegar and let
the vinegar evaporate for 5 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper.
Transfer contents of saucepan to the casserole containing the not
yet completely cooked rabbit and mix well. Cook until the rabbit is
done. The peppers will be overcooked and form a chunky sauce. Discard
bay leaves and transfer everything to a serving platter.

Serve with parsley leaves sprinkled over each portion.

COOKING METHODS FOR VENISON

1 venison

You can do anything with venison that you would beef. Just remember
that it is drier- less fat, so steaks should be
marinaded/tenderized/pounded and cooked just to medium, not over-done.

It is important to realize that wild meat can vary in quality and


toughness, whereas commercial beef is a pretty uniform product.
Venison factors are:

1- Age and sex of animal. Meat can be as tender and mild as veal in a
young doe. (And you always get steer meat in a store never bull.
Castration does make a difference.)

2-Clean kill. If a deer is stalked while it is peacefully grazing and


dropped dead in its tracks, it will taste far better than an animal
that has been chased by hounds, then gut shot, then it runs a few
more miles before collapsing. The blood is full of adrenaline and
the acidic by-products of exercise and exertion and the flesh is
tainted by the torn up organs.

3- Aging and butchering. When I was a kid growing up in Eastern


Ontario, we went deer hunting in the fall, when it was cool and deer
were hung to age and tenderize, then butchered at a local abattoir
that handled beef and pork professionally. We received nicely
wrapped, properly cut and trimmed frozen packages. It was generally
pretty good.

Up here caribou is shot all year long and traditionally butchered


immediately [before it spoils in the summer or freezes solid in the
winter] And some hunters are more skilled at butchering than
others... I have been made "gifts" of quarters of caribou that have
been field frozen with the fur on and wrapped in green garbage bags
and stored in somebody's back yard for a month or two! I have also
received superb sausages made by a man who apprenticed as a
sausage-maker in Germany.

If you know where your meat came from, you will know whether it should
tenderized or just cooked.

If your steaks are coming from a commercial game farm, they will be
from a young animal, carefully slaughtered and aged. I would treat
them the same as any prime beef T-bone. Probably charcoal BBQ'd or
gas grilled to just medium rare and sprinkled with a little salt and
pepper AFTER it has been cooked... nothing fancy, no marinades and no
strong BBQ sauces. That way you will be able to truly taste the
venison.

For wild meat you may want to marinade first, if it's tough.

**** For extremely gamy meat, try soaking the meat in water for
several hours to remove any blood, then soak in salted water for
Page 399

several hours and thirdly soak the drained meat in milk overnight.
This helps remove strong odors. [I use skim milk made from powder,
about half strength for economy.]

After this treatment most meat is quite edible regardless of its age
and handling. At the very least it can be ground and used in spicy
spaghetti sauces and chili.

COOKING WITH WILD DUCK

1 duck

Wild duck has a robust flavour that can cope with the most aggressive
ingredients, writes Rowley Leigh. In fact, a mallard or teal will take
to chilli, anchovies and curry spices in the same way it once took to
water

THERE is a sort of snobbery associated with the marriage of fruit and


meat. The fact that we eat our lamb with redcurrant jelly or our pork
with apple sauce used to be considered a peculiarly English aberration
and was met with scorn and derision by our dear friends across the
Channel. We must continue to refute this charge (especially now that
the boot is on the other foot and French cooking, like its economy,
is on the skids). We are not odd. The fact of the matter is that most
cuisines have had more than a mild flirtation with the fruit and meat
combination.

Take wild duck. Paul Bocuse, the godfather of modern French


gastronomy, has several suggestions in his book Le Gibier
(Flammarion, 1973), including wild duck with peaches, with figs, with
cherries, with pineapple (a la creole), with apples (a la normande)
and, naturellement, with oranges. When one sees a recipe such as
caneton a la normande one never knows if it is a reference to an
indigenous tradition, or if some clever dick, running short of
inspiration or oranges and with too many apples in his larder, has
decided to bung the two together and called it normande. I am
prepared to bet that at the height of the kiwi-fruit boom some
Frenchman put caneton neo-zelandais on his menu. Oranges, as far as
the French and wild duck are concerned, are clearly not the only
fruit.

By contrast, the English have usually chosen to play straight with


wild duck in the past, although it has to be admitted that oranges
often feature. An orange sauce need not be sweet: both the juice,
when boiled down, and the zest serve more to add an aromatic quality
to the sauce than they do to sweeten it. For the most part, old
recipes have tended to present the duck plainly roasted with a
basting of butter and garnished with game chips and watercress.

Another misconception would be to imagine that the English never liked


their game underdone. On the contrary, wild duck used to be served
extremely bloody: it was said that they should only be "shown the
fire", and Hannah Glasse, in "The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy"
(1747), suggests that "ten minutes at a very quick fire will do
them", although most of us would now find the result excessively
rare. That said, wild duck is a rich, lean and dark meat and dries
out terribly when overcooked.

My own preference would be to brush them with butter and roast them
in a hot oven for 15 minutes, then give them ten minutes' rest before
serving. To cook them for much longer than this would not only rob
them of their juiciness but toughen the already resistant legs to an
Page 403

unacceptable degree.

Apart from Paul Bocuse's litany of fruit there have been plenty of
imaginative treatments for wild duck in the recent past: it is, after
all, a robust flavour that will cope very well with aggressive
flavourings. None more so than the combination of pineapple, sweet
potato and chilli with wild duck dreamt up by my friend Richard
Corrigan, chef and proprietor of the Lindsay House in Soho. It sounds
crazy, I know, but in the hands of that gentle genius it is a triumph.
And those of you with bottles of raspberry vinegar ashamedly hidden at
the back of the store cupboard should get them out now: a few drops of
that vinegar on some browned, sliced shallots and then moistened with
red wine makes a brilliant base for a sauce for wild duck. After
roasting the bird, let it rest while you deglaze the pan with more red
wine and a little chicken stock: let this reduce a little and then
pour it into the shallot base together with any juices drawn from the
bird while it has rested.

Wild duck covers a variety of flappers and waders, the most common of
which, comestibly speaking, are mallard, widgeon and teal. If you see
a wild duck on a supermarket shelf or a restaurant menu, the chances
are that it is mallard, our familiar green-necked friend that civil
servants pop out to St James's Park to feed in their lunch hour.
Widgeon is occasionally seen but I have no fondness for its lean form
and fishy flavour and do not intend to discuss it further. Teal, on
the other hand, has a wonderful, rich and gamey flavour; its only
drawback is that it is very small and expensive.

As one mallard will only serve two (though most people can happily
manage two teal), this week's recipes are for two people.

COOKING WITH WILD HERBS BY DEB JACKSON

1 mint
1 yarrow
1 toothwort
1 sweet cicly root
1 wild garlic
1 mountain mint
1 wild bergamot
1 wild ginger
1 wild mustard greens
1 dandelion
1 lamb's quarters
1 water avens
1 white avens

There are many great flavors to be had from the wild. I've learned
that many wild herbs have a very unique and pleasant taste. I use
them regularly in my kitchen for spices, garnish, appetizers, snacks,
and even as main dishes. One of my favorites is mint jelly, so good
and easy to make but hard to keep around. Ever had mint jelly on a
hot buttered biscuit, or a favorite for kids mint jelly and peanut
butter sandwiches, for some hors d'oeuvres try mint jelly and cream
cheese finger sandwiches. Substituting some of the everyday culinary
spices with wild herb spices can be tricky but some are
indistinguishable and did I mention the best thing about using wild
herbs? They're FREE! Yarrow for instance, when dried taste like sage,
dried and ground toothwort like black pepper or crushed fresh it
taste exactly like horse radish, dried and ground Sweet Cicly root
like fennel seed has an Anise like flavor for pizza, spaghetti sauce
and other Italian type dishes. Wild garlic or Bear's garlic is as
good as cultivated and is said by some to be better. Mountain mint is
a good substitute for basil, in fact one of its common names is wild
basil. Wild Bergamot can be used as oregano but is a bit spicy so use
less. Wild Ginger is another favorite of mine, the root crushed and
saut‚ed in butter then thickened with corn starch or flour water,
makes a fine sauce for chicken. Wild Ginger and Sweet Cicly roots are
good crystallized in sugar, they make great treats and freshen
breath, and I can't help but mention how wonderful they work when you
have a sore throat or cough. There are so many wild herbs available
for cooking as pot herbs it would be hard to mention them all, but a
few excellent choices are Wild Mustard greens, Dandelion, and Lamb's
quarters. Each is good alone, but I like to mix the three and always
remember to blanch with two changes of water, also season with
bouillon or meat drippings. If you like home made bread and who
doesn't, try throwing in some wild herbs and you have herb bread,
very aromatic and delicious. I've just recently discovered that
several types of Avens roots, Water avens and White avens among them,
are used as chocolate substitutes and are actually called Indian
chocolate, I intend to try them this year when they bloom. A good
book I would recommend for learning more about using wild herbs in
cooking is The Complete Book of Herbs by Lesley Bremness, just
looking at the photos will make your mouth water. Recipes

COOK-OUT RABBIT

1 rabbit fryer; quartered


1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon season salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sauterne wine

Season rabbit with salt & pepper. Mix oil, wine and season salt. Broil
rabbit, basting often with sauce until browned and tender.

Note: I usually cook this on an indoor electric grill, however I have


had good results with an outdoor charcoal hooded grill as well. For
the charcoal grill, make sure to use foil to shield the ends of the
legs from the excess heat since the unprotected bones burn easily.

This is our favorite way to cook rabbit. I have been known to add a
couple dashes of Tabasco sauce to the marinade which gives it a nice
heat and added flavor.

CORN SOUP

1 gallon water
4 oz. salt pork or bacon
2 cups hominy corn

CORN SOUP 1,

1/2 lb salt pork


2 big onions, sliced
3 cups diced boiled potatoes
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cooked corn, fresh or canned
4 cups hot milk
1/2 tsp salt, pepper to taste
chopped parsley garnish

This is another one where there's a million recipes, plus the fact you can
throw in whatever you have on hand.
Cut pork into 1/2-inch dice, try out. Add onion, cook slowly 5-10 minutes,
stirring, until transparent but not bfowned. Add potatoes, corn, boiling
water, hnot milk. Season to taste, serve with garnish. Other things to
throw into this soup: cooked carrots, rutabagas, turnips, leftover beans,
canned tomatoes. Leftover ham, chopped. Use a broth made from any bones
instead of water. To make a thicker chowder, make a roux of 2 Tbs butter
and 2 of flour, frizzled, stir this into 1 cup of the milk, cook and stir
until thickened. Stir this white sauce into the rest of the liquid as you
add it to the vegetables. Like most soups and stews, corn soup is mostly an
idea rather than a recipe. What you put in it depends on what you have.

recipe, the better when it comes to vegetables. I prefer fresh
vegetables, but have used the frozen products if time is tight. I
believe S&W is the brand I have used.

In heavy pot brown bacon, add onion and sweat til barely
translucent. Add beans and corn and 1/4 cup water (omit if using
frozen), cover and cook at least 1/2 hour on medium-low. Add salt and
pepper after about 10 minutes of cooking time. My grandmother used to
cook it for hours, so it's basically up to you how done you want it, I
prefer mine fresher tasting. You can also have a little dish of
chopped Thyme at the table to sprinkle. This has been part of our
Thanksgiving meal for as long as I can remember.

CORN VENISON STEW

By: Yaskwatu

recipe

In my peoples tradition we use lyed corn.


A note here a little off topic...Our hard corns were not easily
digestable , and the nutients were hard to process, long before
'science' Our Ancestors knew how to Lye the corn, correcting the
problem!
Traditionally it was made with venison, then salt pork as venison
became harder to get.
I can't give exact proportions, cause I just throw mine together.
2-3 litres of lyed corn
2 lg cans of kidney beans
about 5 lbs of turkey meat, simmered and deboned, save the broth as
your soup base.
I lb smoked bacon, diced and cooked.
optional: leftover cubed squash.
Put all the above in a big stock pot and simmer until done.
Salt or pepper can be added at the table

CORNED BEAR

100 lb bear meat, boned and trimmed of fa; t


8 lb salt
4 lb sugar
2 tablespoon baking soda, heaping
2 oz saltpeter
1 gal water

Here is something I found tucked away in the back of my recipe file.


I can vouch for the fact that it will make good eating, but the first
ingredient is not always handy when you want it. Another essential
for this is a 20 gallon keg or stoneware crock. Salt the meat down in
layers in the keg, alternating layers of salt and meat. Let stand 24
hours. As soon as you finish salting the meat, mix the sugar, soda
and saltpeter in the water and let stand. After the meat has been in
the salt for a day, pour the sugar solution over the meat in the keg.
Keep the meat cover with liquid - a plate with a brick or rock on it
will help hold the meat down in the solution. After 4 days drain the
liquid from the keg into a large enamel pan and bring the liquid to a
boil. Strain out the blood residue by pouring the liquid through
cheesecloth. Return the solution to the keg and put the plate and
rock back to hold down the meat. Now store the keg in a very cool
place for 4 to 6 weeks. Use the meat as you would corned beef.

---------------------------------
Saltpeter - The name for potassium nitrate, which is used primarily in
the meat industry to help preserve cured meats.
It gives a distinctive pink color to hams and bacon.
There are recent reports from the USDA that nitrates, and nitrites are
carcinogenic.

CORNED BEAR MEAT

100 lb bear meat


2 oz baking soda
8 lb salt
2 oz saltpeter
4 lb sugar

Salt the meat down in layers in a keg, alternating the salt. Let it
stand overnight. At the same time the meat is put down make a
solution of the suger, soda and saltpeter in 1 gallon of warm water,
and let it stand overnight. Next day pour the solution over the meat.
After a few days, drain off the solution, bring it to a boil,
straining off the blood.

Replace the fluid on the meat, keeping it covered by inverting a large


plate on top of the meat. This is ready to use as corned meat within
four to six weeks but may be used satisfactorily at intermediate
stages.

If too salty, it must be soaked or parboiled. Save the salty water for
soup, stews, cooking potatoes or other vegetables, gravy, etc.

CORNED BEEF OR VENISON

4 quart water
1 1/2 cup canning salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoon pickling spice
1/2 oz potassium nitrate
1 (available in drug stores)
8 bay leaves
11 peppercorns
6 lb beef or venison roast
10 cloves garlic
2 large onions, sliced
1 to cook meat:
1 fresh water
2 sliced onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoon pickling spice
1 glaze:
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon garlic powder

In a large kettle, combine 4 quarts of water, canning salt, 1/2 cup


brown sugar, 3 tablespoons pickling spice, potassium nitrate, bay
leaves and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and boil vigorously for 5
minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Place meat in a
large container with 2 sliced onions and 10 garlic cloves. Cover
meat with the cooled brine so that brine covers meat by 2 or 3
inches. Weigh down meat with a clean plate and a large zip-loc bag
filled with water. Refrigerate for 21 days, turning meat at least 2
times per week.

To cook: Remove meat from brine and rinse under cold running water.
Place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with fresh water and add 2 sliced
onions, 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons pickling spice.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour per pound
of meat, or until fork tender. Remove meat to a plate and let rest
for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, reserve the broth in which meat has cooked
for cooking vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, pearl onions and
cabbage wedges to be served with the meat. While vegetables are
cooking, mix all glaze ingredients together and coat meat evenly.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until glaze is
bubbly. Slice meat, cover with foil and keep warm until serving.

Here's the recipe my friend George used this year to corn venison. It
was very good although rather salty. He intends to use about half as
much salt next time. He tripled the recipe below and ended up with
about 35 pounds. He used one hind quarter from a 9 pointer from last
year and a couple front shoulders from other deer. You can put the
shoulders in whole and just pull out the bone after it's done. I
don't believe he did the glazing in the oven part of it, just served
Page 418

it from the water. By tripling the recipe he fed about 15 hunters on


two different nights.

CORNED MOOSE

5 lb moose meat
5 tablespoonse tenderquick
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix dry ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Add meat and shake to
coat well. Squeez out as much air as practical and zip the bag shut.
Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks to cure, turning it over
from time to time. The corned meat will keep in the bag for a long
period of time if the bag remains sealed.

Cook as you would corned beef or salt cured pork.

Note that Morton's Tenderquick is a salt product that contains


nitrates and nitrites that help preserve the meat. Tenderquick can
be found in many grocers shelves.

Meat may be frozen and thawed before curing. From: "Ken And Mary Ann

COTES D'OURS AU MIEL (BEAR CUTLETS WITH HONEY)

4 bear meat cutlets (chops)


1 off the bone
250 gm (9 oz) mild flavoured honey
1 e g. acacia
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoon sunflower oil
2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 teaspoon creme fraiche (or use sour
1 cream)
100 ml (4 fl oz) water
1/2 teaspoon ground (or finely crushed)
1 green peppercorns
1 pinch of salt

Mix the honey, thyme and dill in a flat dish and put in the cutlets,
so they are covered. Marinate, covered, in the fridge for 24 hours.
Take the cutlets out of the marinade, letting the excess drip off.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauti the cutlets so that they are
golden outside, but still a little pink inside - rosy juices will run
if the meat is pierced with a knife. Remove the meat and keep warm.
Add the sherry vinegar and water to the cooking juices and bring to a
boil and add the creme fraiche or sour cream then reduce a little to
make a sauce.

Monsieur Moulinier recommends serving the bear cutlets with the


following 'garniture' of fresh chestnuts baked in cabbage leaves.

1 kg (2 lb) fresh chestnuts Several green cabbage leaves 2


teaspoons creme fraiche (or sour cream)
100 ml (4 fl oz) water Salt and pepper Oil for deep frying

Peel the chestnuts, taking care to remove the thick furry skin under
the shell. Heat the oil and fry the chestnuts like french fries till
they're golden. Drain on kitchen paper. Wash the cabbage leaves and
put them in an oven dish. Place a few chestnuts on each one, and
close them tight to make little parcels, and add the creme fraiche
and water, salt and pepper. Cover and place in a hot oven (220 C, 425
F, Gas mark 7) for 35 minutes.

*NOTE* For those who can't find bear meat, the chef says it's
possible to use boar instead!

COTTONTAIL CUISINE

2 rabbits, quartered
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
1 small minced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 juice from 1/2 lemon
5 tablespoon catsup
4 tablespoon a-1 sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 dash tabasco
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

There's only two ways I have found to cook a decent rabbit, slow BBQ
or slow oven roast. Here is my favorite BBQ recipe.

Combine all ingredients except the rabbit in a medium saucepan. Mix


well and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Place the quartered rabbits on a medium-hot grill. Baste the rabbits


generously every 5 minutes with the sauce mixture, turning frequently.

It will take about 40-50 minutes until they are done, make sure you
have used all of your sauce. With this recipe the sauce is the key!!

CRANBERRY-CARIBOU PEMMICAN

1 lb caribou jerky
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz raisins
2 oz cranberries
5 oz suet

Run the dry jerky through a food grinder a few times. In a loaf pan
add the cranberries, raisins and brown sugar. When the mixture is
well blended, melt the suet and stir it in. Let the suet cool and
harden. This approximates the old style pemmican made to preserve
meat without refrigeration and to add some vitamin C values.

I use low bush cranberries which are very common around here in
Yellowknife.

CREAMY NETTLE AND POTATO SOUP

6 tablespoon unsalted butter


4 medium shallots, coarsely chopped
4 celery ribs, coarsely
1 chopped
1 large leek, white and tender green
1 parts, halved lengthwise and
1 thinly sliced
1 1/4 lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1 and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 1/4 cup water
1 bouquet garni, made with
1 thyme sprig,
1 tarragon sprig and
1 bay leaf, tied with kitchen
1 string
1/2 cup heavy cream
10 oz nettles or spinach or
1 bunch (5 ounces) flat-leaf parsley
1 and
1 bunch (4 ounces) sorrel, stems and
1 tough ribs removed
1 salt and freshly ground
1 white pepper

Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the


shallots, celery, leek and potatoes, cover and cook over moderately
low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add
the wine and lemon juice and cook over high heat until evaporated.
Add 4 cups of the water and the bouquet garni and bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook over moderately low heat until the vegetables are
tender, about 15 minutes. Discard the bouquet garni.

Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor


until smooth. Strain the soup into a clean saucepan through a fine
sieve. Stir in the heavy cream.

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the nettles and
cook just until wilted. Drain the nettles and immediately plunge them
into a medium bowl of ice water. Transfer the nettles to the blender
or food processor and puree them with the remaining 1/4 cup of water.
Strain the nettle puree into the soup and season with salt and white
pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer over low heat, stir in the
remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and serve the soup
right away.

MAKE AHEAD The soup can be refrigerated for 2 days.

WINE A lively, straightforward and not-too-rich Chardonnay with no oak


will highlight the creamy texture of this soup without overwhelming
the delicate flavor. Choose a light bottling with notes of melon and
Page 436

apple, such as the 1999 Gallo of Sonoma or the 2000 Rosemount from
South Eastern Australia.

At Manka's Inverness Lodge, in Inverness, California, chef Daniel


DeLong uses local wild stinging nettles to give a tangy flavor to
this light, creamy soup. Because nettles are prickly, use gloves
while working with them. If nettles are unavailable, substitute fresh
spinach or a combination of parsley and sorrel.

CROCKPOT GOOSE OR DUCK WITH APPLES

1 text file

another one that i just made up one day, so please accept the
vagueness works with whole ducks, part ducks, whole geese, or part
geese...

measure out about two cups of good red wine... drink one...

pour the other cup into a slow cooker of pressure cooker on *LOW*...

get three-ten apples, eat one or two and dice the rest... probably
core them, but peeling is optional...

place the apples in the wine and then dump in your meat...

if the ducks/geese are whole, you might consider putting most of the
apples inside them (assuming you believe in gutting your fowl and not
cooking guts together with the bird...if you do, i take no
responsibility for this recipe...legally, morally, or gastronomically)

if the meat and apples aren't mostly covered, pour enough wine into
the mixture to bring them up to about 3/4 covered...if you just
happen to not have much wine left in the bottle, finish it yourself,
because a good red wine shouldn't sit around very long, nor should
you have to share it since you are going to all this trouble doing
the cooking...

cover and simmer until the meat is almost falling off the bones (if
you took the bones out, i'll leave it to you to define tender)...

this is one of those things you can do in the morning and have ready
when you come back from work, and also have the advantage of having
all the people in the house go nuts smelling the good cooking
smells...

serve the meat...and make sauce from the apples...leftover wine/apple


juice can be used as a au jus for serving the meat...

best applesauce you'll ever eat...

and if you do this before you go to work, the wine should help start
your day pretty well too...

btw...i'm originally from michigan, so we know that there is one kind


of apple you should never use for eating or cooking use...those
"delicious" apples deported from washington...we tried not to grow
them, but used decent apples instead...realizing that the only thing
good about the &quot;delicious&quot; was that it shipped...hence we
knew that the people from washington state were deporting them to the
rest of the country, and making big advertising noises about their
wonderful qualities, all the time keeping the few good apples they
grew to themselves...

now...if i can't start a flame war of some sort with this post, we

CROCKPOT VENISON WITH GREENS

1 venison
1 cup hearty red wine
1 root veggies: quartered
1 onions, potatoes, sweet
1 potatoes, carrots, turnips
1 and parsnips
1 longer cooking greens -
1 plaintains, late dandelion
1 greens

Crock a venison with 1 cup of hearty red wine. I use burgundy. You can
do a pot roast this way or stew meat. The wine cuts the gamey flavor
for those who don't like venison. I generally put the meat on the
bottom with the wine and add a ton of root veggies around to make a
stew - quartered onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots. I reckon
you could use turnips and parsnips, but I am not found of 'nips in
general. Longer cooking greens could be added too - plaintains, late
dandelion greens. Optional of course, most greens would tend to just
add to the juices/gravy when you are done crocking.

CROCODILE MORNAY W' WARRIGAL SPINACH AND BUSH TOMATO CHUT

1 wine, white, for marinade.


1 1/2 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 tablespoon oil
3 crocodile steaks [#]
6 tablespoon butter
6 tablespoon flour
3 1/4 cup milk
1 seasoning
1 cup cheese, australian cheddar, grated.
300 gm warrigal spinach [*]
1 bush tomato chutney [#]

If you have the time, marinate crocodile steaks in a little white


wine until the wine becomes slightly gelatinous.

Place butter and oil in a hot pan and, when sizzling, add
crocodile steaks. Sear quickly on both sides. Add gelatinous wine
and cook steaks on both sides for a few more minutes. Cool.

To make the mornay, melt the butter and gently mix in the flour.
Gradually add milk and seasoning until the sauce thickens. Let
mixture stand while grating the cheese and then add half the
cheese to the sauce mixture. Return to very low heat and stir
occasionally.

Finely cut crocodile meat away from the bone and add to mornay
sauce. Place crocodile mornay in a greased casserole dish, cover
with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake at 200^C until golden
brown.

Meanwhile, blanch spinach in water for a couple of minutes, drain


and throw away the water.

Serve crocodile mornay atop of a bed of Warrigal spinach, with a


garnish of Bush Tomato Chutney.

"Warrigal spinach was used by Captain James Cook as a tonic for


scurvy and is regarded as the first Australian food plant to be
cultivated in Europe. Cook's botanist, Sir Joseph Banks actually
took spinach seeds back to England, where it is now grown as a
summer green.

"This native spinach is found along the eastern seaboard and


because it's high in oxides, it must be blanched before eating.

"Bush tomato chutney is a great garnish, but it's worth buying a


few bush chutneys, sauces and relishes and experimenting with
these new flavours yourself.

From- "Jason R." <renegade@kdsi.net-

Ramone@worldnet.att.net- (Ramone) responded to Jason R. as follows:

I did okay until you got to the *enjoy* part. That means you actually
eat this. I thought you had just found a new way to screw up good
sauerkraut. Now let me get this straight: (a) cow dies of old age,
falls over and swells up, (b) possum crawls inside cow and devours
insides, (3) possum walks across hiway and gets smashed flat by car,
(4) crow flies down and eats possum. Now, if I understand this
correctly, you are advocating that I actually, physically eat the
crow? Nope. When I eat crow, I do it with a dozen roses and three
days of prostrate groveling, and it's going to stay that way.

CRUSTED TENDERLOIN WITH CHIPOTLE ONIONS

1 tablespoon juniper berries


1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 whole allspice
2 whole cloves
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped pecans
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 beef or buffalo tenderloin (4 to 5 lb.),; fat trimmed, rolled, and
1 canned chipotle chili
1 onion (1/2 lb.) , thinly sliced
1 tablespoon salad oil
2 cups beef broth
salt and pepper

Notes: Oden uses buffalo tenderloin, but it's costly (see box, page 91).
Beef tenderloin is a good option. Both roasts take about the same time to
cook. However, if buffalo is cooked beyond rare, the meat becomes dry

1. In a blender, finely grind juniper berries, coriander, oregano,


peppercorns, kosher salt, allspice, cloves, and pecans. Add the garlic and
whirl to form a paste.

2. Rub seasoning paste all over tenderloin. Set meat on a rack in a 12- by
17-inch roasting pan. Roast in a 425 [degrees] oven for 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, rinse canned chipotle chili, discard the seeds and veins, and
mince the chili.

4. Mix onion slices with oil and put in roasting pan around meat (not on
rack). Continue to cook until a thermometer inserted in center of the
thickest part of meat registers 130 [degrees] for rare, 30 to 40 minutes
longer.

5. Transfer roast to a platter and let rest in a warm place 10 to 15


minutes (to allow juices to settle and meat to firm slightly for neater
slicing).

6. Skim and discard any fat from drippings in roasting pan. Add minced
chipotle and broth to onions in pan. Set pan over high heat and scrape
browned bits free, stirring until mixture boils vigorously. Pour into a
bowl.

7. Slice meat and offer chipotle-onion sauce to spoon over portions. Add
salt and pepper to taste.

DALL SHEEP

1 info file

Dall sheep range throughout the Mackenzie mountains and can weigh as
much as 200 lbs. They are sedentary grazers that browse in Alpine
meadows so the meat of younger animals is sweet and tender without
marinading and can be treated as for domestic lamb or mutton.

DAN'S SMOKEHOUSE JERKY - PART 1

1 venison
1 top round steak
1 turkey breast - brine
1 kiln dried medium salt
1 molasses (brer rabbit light
1 black and/or red pepper

Recipe by: Dan Sawyer <dan813@aone.com> The Meat: Generally, the lean
scraps from most venison (elk, deer, caribou, antelope and moose)
work very good. Bear is greasy(sorry Bear), as is pork Buffalo is
similar to beef and makes good jerky. The best cut of beef that will
yield the most usable lean meat is the top round. If you like
turkey, use large bone in breasts and remove the bone. I haven't
done reptiles, but what the hey, if that's your bag give it a shot.
The meat should be reasonably aged, at least kept cool for a week or
so after it's dressed out and skinned. It is important to trim as
much fat off as possible, even if you have to cut it out or scrape it
off. The fat will not take salt very well when the meat brines, it
will become rancid and grow mold quickly. Cut the meat with the
grain, into strips as big around as your thumb (3/4-1 square) and as
long as possible.

The Brine: This is a self brining method and works in two stages,
dehydration and rehydration. The ingredients needed are: A kiln dried
medium salt. Most feed stores have 50# bags for about $3. which will
make about eight thousand pounds of jerky. Medium salt is about the
size of sal that comes on a pretzel. Molasses. I use Brer Rabbit
light or Grandma's. Brer Rabbit comes in pint bottles and have a
small top that you can pour a nice 'string' from. Grandma's comes in
a large mouth bottle and it's best if you transfer it to some sort of
a squeeze top ketchup or pancake syrup bottle (1 pint =3D about 20#
of meat). Black Pepper, medium grind or coarse - your choice. If you
like it hot, use red pepper flakes instead, if you don't like pepper
leave it out. This brine process goes easier and more quickly if you
have a few extra happy hands joining in - the kids, the wife and
myself usually make it a project and when it's done everyone gets to
pa each other on the back. Since we're all together and helping each
other, some interesting conversations usually surface. Anyway, you
will need a flat bottom non-corrosive container and lid, a Tupperware
storage bin, a plastic bus tray or a stainless steam table pan will
work well. The size depends on the amount of meat and the room in
your refer - the lids keep things out and are handy for stacking the
containers. Salt the bottom of the pan evenly, making sure to get in
the corners as well. This may not be as easy as it sounds. Put a few
pounds of salt in a bowl, cup your fingers together and scoop out
about a half a handful - not in your palm. Shake your hand back and
forth across the top and about a foot above the top of the pan. As
the salt starts to leave your hand, slowly open your fingers and let
the salt run through evenly. Hand salting may require some practice.
Practice salting the bottom of the pan until it becomes comfortable
and the coverage is without gobs or streaks or voids. If this method
becomes too frustrating, a shaker top jar works too - a mayonnaise

coverage amount should be between light coverage (barely covering)
and full coverage (completely covering) - the only comparison I can
think of, is sugar on a pie crust, or, sugar on your cereal. You
don't want it too salty, so, one might consider their first batch of
jerky experimental and take it from there. String the molasses. Same
kinda deal as the salt, hold the bottle about a foot above the pan,
start moving it from side to side and pour. When the molasses starts
running try to get a 'string' about the size of a pencil lead and let
it crisscross the pan bottom over the salt. Once the strings are even
in one direction, change directions (perpendicular) and string evenly
across again. Don't forget the corners. When it's done it will be an
even grid about 1/2" square covering the pan bottom. Good luck...
don't worry, 10-12 layers and you'll be able to sign your name with
it. The pepper will vary as to individual taste. One note though,
pepper almost doubles its intensity as it soaks and is easy to
overpower the finished product. I would recommend that a light
dusting would be sufficient for most people (about the way you would
pepper a baked potato). Red pepper flakes, even more so. Again, hold
the pepper can about a foot above, and dust it evenly - good, you
remembered the corners. Layer the meat strips across the bottom of
the pan one at a time. Starting on one side, place the strips next
to each other without overlapping and with all of th strips running
in the same direction. Work the meat across until the layer is
complete, without voids. Pat the surface, edges and corners down
smooth and flat. Salt, molasses and pepper the surface as was done
to the bottom of the pan to start. The second layer of meat is done
the same, but it is ran perpendicular to the first layer. Pat
smooth, salt, molasses and pepper. Each additional layer is placed
perpendicular t the layer before it. Continue layering the meat
until it reaches to a level about 2" from the top of the pan. The
last layer, or partial layer, gets the salt, molasses and pepper
treatment as well. This brining method will cure the meat in two
days. Place the pan in the refer, cover and let sit undisturbed for
the first day (refrigeration is not necessary if prepared in a cool
climate 35-45F). After about 24 hours the meat should be 'turned

DEER BACKSTRAP

1 whole venison backstrap


1/2 lb bacon slices
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

An easy recipe for venison backstrap is to cut it lengthwise into 3


equal strips. Season to taste (we use salt, pepper and garlic powder)
then roll each strip up, circle with a slice of bacon and secure with
a toothpick. What you should have will look like a filet mignon and
after you grill it rare over coals will taste twice as good.

DEER MEAT "POT STEW"

4 lb lean venison
2 cup seasoned flour
4 oz butter
1 lb mushrooms; cleaned and
1 sliced
1 cup chopped onion
1 large green pepper; chopped
1 (remove pith and seeds)
1 stock to cover
1 cup red wine
4 medium potatoes; cubed
4 carrots; thickly sliced
1 can whole-kernel corn
1 2 peeled, cored and sliced
1 apple (optional)
1 cup chopped celery (optional)

Cut venison into 1" cubes and dredge them in flour. In a heavy
kettle, melt butter and saute vegetables until golden.

Remove the vegetables from the pot and add the meat, searing it on all
sides. Add more butter, if necessary. Return the vegetables to the
pot, and add enough beef stock (or canned bouillon) to almost cover
the meat and vegetables. Let this simmer, covered, for about 2 hr.

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn down the
heat and simmer until the vegetables are done.

You could also add the apples and/or celery.

A dash of herbs always helps, but this recipe has the object of
providing a tasty stew that retains the flavor of the venison without
killing it. When the stew is about done, add more seasoning, if
desired.

2 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

Grind together the two meats, mix thoroughly. Add measured water. Mix
spices thoroughly and mix well into meat mixture. If sausage is to be
smoked, omit the liquid smoke. You may stuff sausage into casings,
making 6-8" links, or make into patties for freezing. To cook, place
in a frying pan with a cover, adding water to the 1/3 mark on the
sausage. Boil for 15 minutes covered, then remove. Drain most of the
fat from the pan; replace sausage and brown. Make gravy in pan after
sausage done. Courtesy of Shareware PROFESSIONAL RECIPE CLIPPER 2.0

water to cover generously. Stir. Simmer one to two hours, adding
water as the jerky takes it up. Allow chili to cool, and reheat

DOWN-ON-THE-RANCH VENISON POT ROAST

1 medium onion; chunked


1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
3 lb venison chuck roast

1/2 cup water cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup canola oil
preferably or corn oil 1 can (14.5oz) whole tomatoes with juice 1
tablespoon prepared yellow mustard 1 tablespoon worcestershire
sauce

The night before you plan to barbecue, combine the paste ingredients
in a food processor or blender until the onion is finely chopped and
a thick puree forms. Slather the paste over the venison. Transfer
the venison to a large plastic bag and refrigerate it overnight.
Befor you begian to barbecue, take the roast from the refrigerator
and let it sit, covered, at room temperature for 45 minutes. Prepare
the smoker for barbecuing, bring the temperature to 200 F to 220 F.

smoker and cook for 3 hours, mopping every 30 minutes in a
wood-burning pit, or as appropriate for your style of smoker. Place
the roast on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and pour the
tomatoes over the meat. Spoon the mustard and worcestershire sauce
over the tomatoes. Seal the foil tightly and continue cooking the
roast for about 2 more hours, until the meat is falling-apart tender.
Remove the roast from the smokerand let it sit at room temperature for
10 minutes befor serving.

DRESSING BEAVER

1 text file

If the pelt is to be prepared for the market, care should be taken in


skinning the animal. Lay the beaver on its back and cut the legs off
at the first joint. Then, with a sharp knife, slit the peltstarting
at the lower lip. Insert the knife in this slit and with the sharp
edge up cut the pelt in a straight line down thew chest and belly to
the vent. Work out from this centre line cut and with short strokes
seperate the skin from the flesh. Carefully pull the legs through the
skin leaving four round holes in the pelt. Cut off the tail where it
meets the fur. Skin carefully around the eyes and cut off the ears
close to the skull. Finish removing the pelt taking as little flesh
and fat as possible, then lay it on a flat surface fur side down and
sponge off all the blood marks with lukewarm water.

Beaver meat is dark red, fine grained, moist and tender and when
properly prepared similar to roast pork.

Cut the head off and eviscerate: make a cut through the thin layer of
meat from the breast bone to the vent, encircling the vent and being
careful not to pierce the intestines. Lay the body cavity open and
remove the viscera by grasping above the stomach and pulling down and
out from the cavity. Carefully cut out the musk glands from under the
skin on the inside of the legs and be sure to remove the castor gland
under the belly near the tail. Trim off all the fat and wash the
carcass thoroughly with warm salted water.

DRIED BEEF OR ELK

1 round steak
1 pint molasses
1 tablespoon salt petre
1 quart salt

This is an Old Time recipe

Round Steak cut in pieces about the size of a 2 qt jar

Mix and rub each piece with this lard presevative. Pack in crock jar
and put a plate and weight on it and it will draw its own juice. Turn
eack week for 6 weeks. Put top pieces on bottom as you turn them:
take out and put heavy cord on one end and hang up and smoke for 1
day or at least several hours. Can go without smoke if you wish.
Hang to dry for a short while and then slice. This makes enough for
about a 2 to 3 gallon crockful.

(This is set in a cool area doesn't really need to be refrigerated


just kept cool--basement)

Now for the way I did it the last time. I put the meat in Ziploc bags
instead of a crock and let it set in the refrigerator. This worked.

** See recipe for Duck Stock and / or Duck Demi-glaze.

Duck: =====

Preheat your oven to 450 F.

Bone the duck, reserving any unused parts for the stock. Trim
the breasts, salt and pepper well. Add the trimming to the other
bones and such reserved for stock.

In a saute pan, heat the butter over medium heat. Place the
breasts in the pan, skin side down, to melt the fat between the skin
and the meat. (About one or two minutes.) Increase the heat to high,
and brown lightly. Place the pan of breasts in the oven and cook for
8 minutes.

Wine Sauce: ===========

In a copper pan, melt 4 ounces of butter and add the shallots and
peppercorns. Cook briefly ( 1 to 2 minutes).

Add cepes and Cabernet Sauvignon. Reduce slightly.

Add duck stock or demi-glace and tomatoes, if desired. Cook 20


~ 30 minutes over medium heat.
Page 501

Add butter if desired, whip, and reserve.

Bone Marrow: ============

Fill a sauce pan with water, add a touch of salt, then bring the
salted water to a boil. Add marrow and cook for about 5 minutes.
Reserve.

Spinach: ========

Blanch the spinach in hot, salted water, then press slightly to


dry.

In a saute pan, heat the butter until brown (beurre rosette -


hazelnut in color). Add spinach, then nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook
for about 20 seconds (spinach should have just started to wilt).
Drain and reserve.

To serve: =========

Spoon the wine sauce into a pool on the serving plate. Add bone
marrow to the sauce. Trim any bone from the duck breasts and place
the breasts skin side down on a cutting surface and slice very thin.

Fan the duck slices out on the serving plate in the sauce, and
garnish with watercress and spinach in a side dish.

DUCK STUFFED WITH WILD RICE

2 long island ducklings (3 1/2 to 4 lbs. e; a.)


salt and ground pepper to taste
3 T. hazelnut or sunflower oil (i used o; live oil)
1 1/2 c. sliced wild mushrooms*
1 c. sliced green onions
1 c. blanched hazelnuts
1/2 tsp. dill seed
4 c. cooked wild rice
2 T. chopped fresh dill or parsley

This past T-day I made a duck recipe out of the Native Peoples magazine.
It
comes from the Great Lakes region. Ojibwa legend gives credit to the duck
for bringing them wild rice. The story goes like this--One day as a
warrior
returned to camp, he found a duck sitting on the rim of his soup pot. As
the
startled duck flew away, it dropped some pieces of grain into the soup.
The
warrior ate the soup, and found that the grain was very good so the next
morning he went off in the direction that the duck had flown, finally
coming
to a lake where he found a flock of ducks. The ducks were feeding on the
water grass, which came to be known as manoomin, or 'good grain.'
Traditional Indigenous American ricers, to this day, still follow the duck
guides to the marshes where the wild rice is ripe.

The ducks themselves, who feed on this wild rice, are considered to be a
delicacy. One might note that waterfowl that eat fish and insects often
have a slightly 'fishy' taste, but the flavor of mallards, canvas backs,
teal and rails that flock to the wild rice marshes have a wonderful mild
and
slightly nutty flavor.

One should also note that these leaner wild ducks don't contain as much fat
as the store bought ones, so tying strips of pork fat or bacon around the
duck is recommended to keep them moist during roasting. For rare duck,
allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound roasting time.

Native Peoples magazine says 'The recipe that follows offers the
alternative
of using more commercially available Long Island ducklings, but the
stuffing
of wild rice studded with wild mushrooms and hazelnuts gives even the
domestic descendants of the wild mallard the flavor of the North Woods. To
complement the ducks and stuffing, we suggest serving two other
Northeastern
specialties, cranberry sauce sweetened with maple syrup and hazelnut-honey
baked squash.'

I did not have time to order the wild rice from Grey Owl foods like I
wanted
Page 503

in time to make this recipe for thanksgiving so I bought some wild rice at
the local grocery, and thought it still turned out great.
*(morels, crimini, shiitake or oyster
mushrooms)(I used a combination of portabella and shiitake in order to have

Rinse the ducks and pat dry. If you want to use giblets in the stuffing,
trim off the tough outer layer from gizzards, thinly slice giblets and
reserve. Season ducks inside and out with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add giblets and sauté
for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, onions, hazelnuts, and dill seed. Sauté for
about 1 minute, until mushrooms and nuts are just golden. Add wild rice
and
the fresh dill or parsley to skillet. Season with salt and pepper and
toss.
Allow stuffing to cool.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Loosely stuff the neck and body cavities of
ducks. Close neck flap with a skewer and cover exposed stuffing near the
tail with aluminum foil so it will stay moist. Prick skin all over with a
sharp forks so the ducks will self-baste in their fat. Reduce oven
temperature to 350 degrees and roast the ducks, allowing about 30 minutes
per pound. Prick skin and baste ducks with dripping two or three times
during roasting. Ducks are done when juices run clear with no hint of pink
when thigh is pierced.
Other Notes: There is quite a bit of difference in the amount of fat on a
wild duck and a domestic one. Since mine was a domestic bird, I did not do
any basting. I also put it on a rack so that it would not be sitting in all
that fat. If roasting a wild duck then go by the other suggestions.

DUNCAN HINES'S MALLARD DUCK

1 mallard duck
1 small onion
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 rib of celery
1 small apple; sliced
1 rib of celery
2 slice salt pork
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoon butter
1 wild rice
1 cranberry sauce

Wash and dry the dressed duck. Stuff it with the onion, celery and
vinegar. Leave in a covered pan overnight. Discard the onion and
celery. This eliminates the any fishy flavour.

Stuff the bird again with the apple and celery [this too will be
discarded after cooking]. Lay 2 strips of salt pork over the breast.
Put the olive oil and the butter in a small roaster and make sure it
is very hot before adding the bird. Roast uncovered in a very hot
oven 20 minutes only [med. rare] basting every 5 minutes. Serve with
some of the pan drippings, wild rice and cranberry sauce.

DYRESTEG (ROAST VENISON W/GOAT CHEESE SAUCE)

3 1/2 lb boneless haunch of venison or reind; eer


3 tablespoon butter; softened
1 salt & pepper
1 1/3 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoon red currant jelly
1/2 oz brown norwegian goat cheese; (gjet”st), finely diced
1/2 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 475øF.

Tie the roaast up neatly at 1/2" intervals with kitchen cord so that
it will hold it's shape while cooking. With a pastry brush, spread the
softened butter evenly over the meat. Place the roast on a rack in a
shallow open roasting pan and sear it in the hot oven for about 20
minutes. When the surface of the meat is quite brown, reduce the heat
to 375øF and sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. Pour
the stock into the pan and cook the roast, uncovered, for 1 1/4
hours. With a large spoon or bulb baster, baste the meat with the pan
juices every half hour or so. The interior meat, when finished,
should be slightly rare, or about 150øF on a meat thermometer. Remove
the roast to a heated platter, cover it loosely and let rest in the
turned off oven while you make the sauce.

Skim and discard the fat from the pan juices. Measure the remaining
liquid and either reduce to 1 cup by boiling it rapidly or add enough
water to make up 1 cup. In a small, heavy saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon
of butter and stir in 1 tablespoon of flour. Stirring continuously
with a wooden spoon, cook this roux for 6 to 8 minutes over low heat
until it is a nut brown color. Be careful not to let it burn or it
will give the sauce a bitter flavor. Now, with a wire whisk, beat the
pan juices into the roux. Next whisk in the jelly and cheese. Beat
until they dissolve and the sauce is absolutely smooth, then stir in
the sour cream. Do not allow the sauce to boil. Taste for seasoning,
remove the strings from the roast and carve the meat in thin slices.
Pass the sauce separately.

ELK LIVER

1 elk or venison liver


1 bacon

If you are so fortunate to have access to fresh liver, it is best


then. Frozen it is still better than the best calf's liver.

Slice paper thin. Fry diced bacon in skillet. When almost done, add
liver and fry until it is seared on the outside and pink in the
center. An elk liver is so large you will have plenty left over to
slice and freeze in individual packages.

ELK PEPPER STEAK

1 lb elk sirloin
1 cup sliced bell peppers
1 sliced red onion
8 oz pack fresh mushrooms
1 clove fresh garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon olive oil

I have found this recipe the best for cooking elk or venison. The
peppers seem to take away all unwanted wild taste.

Cut the sirloin into strips. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add garlic,
soy sauce, onion, and elk. Saut&eacute; until browned. Add remaining
ingredients and simmer, covered until vegetables are tender, stirring
occasionally.

Steamed wild rice, scallop potatoes, fresh green salad are excellent
compliments for this entree.

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 produce:
1 large yellow onion
4 rib celery, with some dark

1 tps (level) minced garlic

1 cans, bottles & spices:
1 small can chopped or sliced black
1 olives (2 hands full)
3 can (10.75 oz.) low-salt cream
1 tomato soup
1 teaspoon (heaping) spicy mustard
1 can dark red kidney beans (if
1 you like chilli with
1 beans)
1 btl colgin's smoke sauce (4
1 oz,
1 don't substitute if you
1 can find it)
4 tablespoon lowrey's season salt or
1 similar type rub
2 teaspoon old hickory smoke salt
1 (spice islands)
1 tablespoon a-1
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 garlic powder added to
1 garlic already in mix
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 chile powder to desired
1 heat
1 or paprika if you want the
1 typical red-brown color
1 but have enough heat.

(When cutting fresh peppers, save veins for additional heat if needed)
Page 521

Substitute any ripe, red chiles available as needed for the above.
Variety is essential.

Start in a pot with at least 1.5 gallon capacity.

I generally cook the meat completely, add some extra water to cover
meat and bring to a good boil. Set in a cold place to let the grease
congeal at the top. (I use this time to get all the veggies ready,
get out the spices, etc.) When the grease is thickened, scrape it off
the top.

Pre-heat oven and cookie sheet to 300 degrees. Spread the garlic,
onions, and raw peppers out on a lightly buttered sheet. Leave in oven
10 minutes, then broil until the thinnest edges of veggies just start
to turn brown. Stir and broil as long as you can without much more
browning. Dump veggies into the pot with the meat, start cooking and
add tomatoes, dried chiles and celery.

As veggies and meat are cooking with a slow boil, begin adding
non-salted spices. Stir occasionally. Add water as needed to maintain
a stew consistency. Gradually add all ingredients except soup and
beans, adding salted items a little at a time to keep the mix from
getting too much salt for your taste. Add pepper powder or veins to
increase heat as desired. (However the heat seems when you are
finished, it will be slightly hotter the next day. I have to consider
this when cooking, as my wife and kids are not CHs.) When the raw
tomatoes are nearly cooked, add the soup, and bring back to a boil,
stirring often. Add the beans, juice and all. Simmer 20 minutes,
stirring regularly. If possible, let cool overnight and re-heat
before serving. Re-skim grease if necessary before heating. Serve
with grated cheddar cheese added to serving.

Makes about 1.2 gallons (if beans are added).

Total Calories.. I have no idea.

ELK STEAKS WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

4 elk steaks; 1 thick


2 centiliter garlic; minced
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 s&p
1 green peppercorn sauce:
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 small red onion; finely diced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup red wine
1 cup beef stock
2 tablespoon grainy mustard
1/4 cup green peppercorns, rinsed
1 s&p

Elk is perhaps the finest of all the venison meats. It is very fine
grained and mild flavoured, almost like beef. Like all wild venison,
it is very lean so it benefits from larding, barding and marinading.
With that in mind, you can treat it like beef. Steaks are best
grilled, cooked rare or at most medium rare. Well done meat will be
tough due to the lack of fat.

Trim any visible fat from the steaks. Combine the garlic and oil.
Pour over steaks and marinate, refrigerated, overnight. Season the
steaks with salt and freshly ground pepper. Grill or broil about
five-six minutes per side, depending on the heat level of the grill.
Stop while the steak is still quite rare. Set aside on a heated
platter in a low oven until the sauce is ready.

GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE: In a small saucepan, melt the butter in the


oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, and saute,
stirring, until tender, about 30 sec. Add vinegar and wine, and cook,
scraping bottom of pan to dissolve residue, until reduced by about
half, 2 to 3 min. Add stock and mustard, and cook, stirring
frequently, until reduced by about half, 4 to 6 min. Remove from
heat, stir in peppercorns and correct seasoning. Drizzle sauce over
steaks. Serve at once.

EMBER ROASTED BUFFALO

8 to 12 pieces of hardwood kindling


6 slender green onions
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoon crumbled sage
salt and pepper to taste

In a cooking pit or a barbecue grill, prepare a hardwood fire. Using a


knife-sharpening steel or long narrow-bladed knife, make six holes, about
one inch apart, horizontally through the roast. Push a green onion into
each hole. Rub roast with oil and seasonings. When flames have died down
and coals are red-hot, spread them out into a bed two to three inches wider
than the roast. Place roast directly on hot embers and cook for about ten
minutes per pound for very rare, or fifteen minutes per pound for
medium-rare. Turn roast with tongs every three to four minutes to char it
on all sides. For a less-charred exterior, place roast on a grill above the
embers.

EMU FILLET W' BITTER CHOCOLATE AND RED WINE SAUCE

600 gm emu inner fillet


1 oil, olive, extra virgin
4 thyme sprigs
80 gm onion, diced.
20 gm garlic, chopped.
1 teaspoon peppercorns, black, cracked
350 ml wine, red
500 ml stock, veal
500 ml stock, chicken
5 gm chocolate, dark, good-quality.
10 gm butter
1 salt
1 pepper
1 ===spatzellie==============
100 gm flour, plain
1 egg
50 ml milk
1 nutmeg
1 salt
1 pepper
10 gm butter
1 cheese, parmesan

Trim the emu fillet of any sinew and cut into 4 steaks, keeping any
trimmings. Cover the emu with oil, add the thyme and set aside for 2
hours. Remove the thyme and reserve.

Place the emu trimmings, onion and garlic in a heavy-based pan and
cook over high heat. Add the reserved thyme, peppercorns and red wine
and cook until the liquid has almost evaporated.

Add the veal stock and cook further until reduced by two thirds. Add
the chicken stock and cook again until reduced by two thirds. Strain.

Whisk in the chocolate a little at a time, tasting as you go. You


don't want to overpower the sauce, just a hint od chocolate. Whisk in
the butter and add salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

Remove the emu from the oil, place in a saucepan and cook over a high
heat until medium rare. Remove from the heat and put in a warm place
to rest for 8 minutes. Slice thinly.

Place the emu on four serving plates around some Spatzellie. Pour the
sauce around and garnish with some young vegetables.

SPAZELLIE:- Place flour, egg, milk and nutmeg in a bowl and mix until
just combined and it forms a paste.

Over a pot of boiling salted water, push the paste through the holes
of a colander and boil for 2 minutes. Strain and toss with the salt
and pepper, butter and Parmesan cheese.

EMU KABOBS

12 oz emu steak
8 tablespoon cabernet sauvignon
8 tablespoon chicken stock
4 tablespoon fresh garlic; minced
4 teaspoon black pepper; fresh ground
4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 medium green bell pepper
8 oz fresh pineapple; cut into
1 large chunks
4 oz mushrooms
4 oz cherry tomatoes
1 medium onion; sliced into wedges
8 wooden skewers

First cut meat into cubes, about 1 1/2". Should yield 16-24 pieces.
Combine next 5 ingredients and marinate cubes, refrigerated, in this
for at least one hr or overnight.

Prepare remaining ingredients to be bite sized, try to yield 16


pieces of each. After emu has marinated, start making kabobs by
alternating vegetables and meat in any order you prefer. Heat a grill
and cook kabobs till emu done. The meat cooks rather quickly so be
sure not to let it dry out by cooking for too long. You may also cook
them in the oven at 350F for appx 10 min. Reserve the marinade, you
may add more wine if you like, bring to a boil and then simmer gently
while kabobs are cooking. Pour over kabobs when done.

M's note: I'd probably halve the spices; then I'd strain the marinade
instead of heating it entire. I might also swirl in a few pats of
butter into the sauce.

Minutes and serve over the Sliced EMU, With Carbohydrate of Your own
Choice and something green to appease the Lists Herbivore's. Un
Laconic Luke Way Up Norte I would try Corn Bread and something like
Collard Greens. Duck would probably be a better choice of meat for
this recipe.

Or you could cook the EMU the Aussie Aboriginal bush way First get
your hands on a Holden Ute (Pickup)then chase the emu and Run over it
.Light a fire throw the Emu on top cook very rare and serve with a
slab of Beer (24 13oz cans) preferably cold. Bon Apetit .

END-OF-SEASON SAUSAGE

40 lb game meat
10 lb smoked ham or bacon*
1 1/4 cup black pepper
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tablespoon salt
1 oz coriander
5 tablespoon mustard seed
1 garlic (opt)

*In place of smoked ham or bacon, you may use ordinary bacon fat; or
use 2 lb ham or bacon & abt 7 1/2 lb pork trim.

This recipe was developed to use up meat in the freezer at the end of
the year. Let meat thaw. Grind cuts into burger. Grind smoked
ham/bacon. Add seasonings to burger & work in w/ground pork. The
garlic may be light if you do not like the flavor, but don't leave it
out entirely as it helps cover the "end-of-season" flavor of meat
that has been frozen all winter. Spread meat in trays or dishpans &
mix thoroughly. Stuff mixture into casings & boil sausages until they
float. Hang them & let drip until thoroughly dry. Then smoke for 3-5
days in a light, cold smoke.

ERIC'S ROAST WILD GOOSE

1 text file

Most excellent item. I recommend it highly. If you can get your hands
of a wild Canada goose ... you have hit the jackpot. No matter.

Stuff it to preferences. Sprinkle coarse pickling salt over the


outside of the bird. All geese are fat, cook it slow and long to ease
out most of the fat. You can hardly overdo it on bay leaves in the
basting liquid. Onions to caramelize in the roasting pan adds a
dreamy flavour. I don't have to remind you, a southerner, to use lots
of sage in the stuffing... use gobs of it. It is absolutely delicious
with goose.

The only other thing I'd suggest is rot-kraut. Pickled red cabbage as
a side dish. You can buy it in any good German or Kosher style deli.
I make my own ...... the commercial stuff just doesn't measure up.

A nice gravy is made with the drippings. Skim off the goose fat -
save it to make a schmaltz. The heavier portion is watery and
thickish with caramelized onion. Deglaze the pan with a splash ( 1/4
cup ) of Dujardin. Add 1/2 cup of flour to two cups cold water,
rotate a whisk briskly between the palms to incorporate the flour.
Add to the boiling base to the desired flavour and consistency.
Season with salt and a healthy dollop of fresh coarsely ground
(cracked) black pepper.

FARM RAISED VENISON

1 preparation tips

In addition to superb taste and convenient availability, meat from


Bluebonnet Venison Farms provides almost endless possibilities for the
chef. It can be used in practically any recipe that calls for beef,
pork or lamb, and it is especially tasty in those recipes that
feature Southwest herbs and spices. Choice, tender cuts, such as
steaks, are best broiled, grilled or sauteed to leave the interior
rare to medium rare. Care should be taken not to cook these cuts much
past medium rare, because even though farm-raised venison is
naturally tender, overcooking will cause it to dry out and toughen.
If you prefer moist, juicy steaks without pink centers, simply grill
to medium rare, then place in a warm over for 5-15 minutes depending
on thickness. Less tender cutes, such as roasts, should be slowly
stewed or braised in ample liquid, to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

Replace the meat with venison in your favorite recipe soon, and
discover a delicious, healthful difference!

Whether you choose our delicately cured and aged venison products or
our fresh-frozen venison cuts, one fact is constant: you're assured
of the highest quality year 'round from Bluebonnet Venison Farms.

Venison Tips

Venison is a very lean meat, so follow these tips for success:

1. Defrost thoroughly in original wrap before cooking. 2. Keep raw


meat refrigerated and covered. Once original package has been opened,
do not use plastic wrap to cover for it can make the meat sweat. 3.
Slice meat across the grain, not with it. 4. Allow 4-5 ounces of meat
per main course serving. Since venison is so lean, you will be
surprised how far a small amount will go in satisfying your appetite.
5. Pan-fried venison can be prepared quickly in a few drops of olive
oil and cooked over a very high heat. Just a few minutes on each
side. Always cook venison rare or medium rare. Well done can be tough
and dry. 6. Venison can be chicken fried for delicious results. 7.
Have a favorite beef recipe? Use Bluebonnet Venison in it for tasty
and healthful results. Our deer graze on natural grasses and thus
have a mild flavored, inviting meat. It can be used wherever you
would use beef. Just remember, do not overcook venison because of its
leanness.

Brown and drain meat, add other ingredients and simmer 20 minutes or
more. Serve with cheese and crackers. This is a fast mild chili that
the children love. My husband and I add hot sauce to ours. Of course,
it is not as good as the chili you make with dried beans and simmer
all day, but it works for a quick, inexpensive dinner.

FLESH OF THE PIG

----BASIC RIBS----
3 lb country ribs or other
2 tablespoon black pepper fine ground
1 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoon garlic salt
----SAUCE FOR REHEATING----
1 open pit small bottle
1/4 cup molasses
1 small bottle a-1 sauce
1 supply of hickory chips

Regular old supermarket pork. Spare ribs, country ribs, or any other
pork Not too much fat. Cut off any gross excess, and cut them to EVEN
thickness. You'll ruin everything if you cook the meat unevenly. You
may compensate by scoring the meat. In a large baking pan, soak the
ribs with cider vinegar, after which sprinkle them with garlic salt
and finely ground black pepper. (Don't use pepper mills, or other
peppers.) It doesn't seem to matter how long the ribs soak, or how
much vinegar is on them. Just make sure it hits all sides, you don't
have to puncture them. This sweetens the meat. The key to the fire is
the hickory chips. Keep feeding these amazing little fellows to the
charcoal. The flavor comes out of these chips and you cannot do
without them. Make sure the fat and chips don't light up your whole
dinner and ruin it. Cooking: A moderate hot fire a couple of inches
or more from the meat, and a grill of reasonable cleanness. As the
meat cooks turn it often, do not let it burn, do not baste it with
anything. Don't cover the grill and don't stray too far -- fire is
always hiding in the wings. Here is the catch -- the trick -- the
hard part, is the timing. You may ruin some meals before you hit it,
but the time to take them off the grill is one minute after trichina
danger is past. As soon as the meat turns brown it's time to eat. You
can use the small strips you cut off to judge just when things are
perfect. Special Purpose Sauce: (don't eat it cold, it's awful) 1
bottle Open Pit, One bottle A-1 Sauce, 1/4 C of molasses. Start
re-heating the sauce until slow boil, dump in the cold pork from the
fridge. alt. without sauce wrap the meat in foil and heat at 325 oven
for 15-20 minutes. Sauce can be stored and re-used, but remember it
will have pork fat in it now.

FLORIDEAN TURTLE SOUP SEMINOLE

2 lbs turtle meat 2 qts water


1 can tomatoes*
4 large white potatoes
1/2 cup barley
2 large onions
2 tbsp. worchestershire sauce

*(or two fresh tomatoes, great use for garden tomatoes that
youhave 'put up' yourself if you have them)

(Note: orginally this called for 'turtle


flippers'--meaning green sea
turtles, not something anyone would want to hunt now)

Parboil turtle, remove skin and cut into small pieces, then add boiling
water with tomatoes, potatoes, and onions--all cut up. Add barley and cook
slowly for 1 1/2. Season with worchestershire sauce before serving.
I have it from Chief James Billie (from a concert of his that I attended in
Tallahassee in 1997) that turtles are still very popular amongst his
people....and he added (wryly) that it goes well with a (large) bottle of

In a large bowl, combine the suet, ham, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon
peel, thyme, sage, salt and a few grindings of pepper. Stir
thoroughly, then add the egg and mix together until the forcemeat can
be gathered into a ball. Divide into 12 equal pieces and with lightly
moistened hands, shape each piece into a ball about 1 1/2 in in
diameter.

In a heavy 10 to 12 in skillet, melt the butter in the oil over


moderate heat. When the foam has almost subsided, drop in the balls.
Cook them for about 5 minutes or until the golden brown on all sides,
turning them frequently with a spoon and regulating the heat so that
they color slowly and evenly without burning. With a slotted spoon,
transfer the balls to a double thickness of paper towels to drain
briefly, and serve.

FOWLER'S SMOKED WILD CANADA GEESE

1 boneless skinless goose


1 breasts strips
1 brine:
1 quart cold water
46 gm salt
35 gm powdered dextrose or
24 gm sucrose
2 gm sodium nitrite or
1 1/4 oz prague powder #1

I used boneless and skinless breasts strips for this project. I


soaked the breasts for 40 hours (at 36 degrees) in the brine.

Next, I put the goose breasts in pairs in ham stockinnettes and air
dried them for 40 hours until they formed a nice pellicle.

I hung the goose breasts in the smoker and smoked them at around 90
degrees for 36 hours and consumed 3 pans of apple chips. (Half of
the last pan of chips was juniper and it added a delightful flavor)
After the smoking, I heated the smoker up to about 150 and warmed the
meat until the internal temp was 145. Then take out the goose and
cool it quickly and refrigerate.

The result is goose breast which you can slice very thinly with a
razor sharp knife (or slicing machine) which is delightful served
with thin slices of rye bread and sliced shallots. It has a somewhat
"raw" texture to it which gives it real bite appeal. I had 1 which I
served into the 3rd week and was still very good.

FRANK SARGEANT'S CHILI

4 lb rough-ground venison or elk


1 2 can whole, peeled tomatoes
1 2 large cans of tomato paste
1 6 plum tomatoes; diced
1 2 large onions; diced fine
1 lb mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms; sliced thin
1 4 clove garlic; minced
1 5 tbsp cumin
1 2 tbsp oregano

1 Tbsp Or 2 tablespoons of chili -powder (3 or 4 if the temp -is below


freezing or it's raining) 3 Tbsp Vegetable oil Salt and pepper; to
taste

You can leave out some of this, or add other things; some say chili
isn't chili unless it has a handful of jalapenos swimming around in
there, and it's not uncommon to tip a bottle of Jack Daniels over the
pot on occasion at camp, either. I like to brown the meat, onions and
garlic in the vegetable oil first, then add the dry spices and stir
into the meat; that way, the flavor isn't lost in the liquids you add
later. Cumin is one of my favorite spices. You can't add too much for
me, but some people might prefer less. Next, you add everything else
except the cheese, put the heat on low and simmer for at least three
hours, stirring occasionally. Just before serving, add the cheese and
stir steadily until it's melted. You might want to add some fresh
diced onions to the top of the bowl and serve it up with fresh-baked
cornbread. Man, home-cooking never was like this.

2 tablespoon oregeno
1/2 bell pepper-finely chopped
1 other spices that look good
1 that you have a mind to use

Brown the venison (or other wild game) with some butter. Venison
tends to be somewhat dry, so add butter as needed. Drain well. Add
to 6-8 quart slow cooker. (A large pot on the stove will work, but
overnight cooking is preferred). Add other ingredients, mixing well.
Add only enough water to prevent burning. Cook covered for 2 hours
at boil. Reduce heat to ~200 degrees and cook until you can't keep
everyone away. Consistancy should be fairly thick. Cook uncovered if
too thin.

Top with shredded cheese of choice and serve with fresh cornbread.

FRENCH'S SIMPLY VENISON

1 deer ham parts


1 adolph's meat tenderizer
1 coarsley grnd black pepper
1 squeezable soft margarine

The secret to good venison is always to muscle the meat. Muscling


means to remove each muscle individually. Once finished, the cook
will have several cylindrical pieces resembling tenderloin. Place
pieces in a Pyrex dish, sprinkle each side with meat tenderizer and
coarsley ground black pepper. Puncture each side liberally with a
sharp fork. Squeeze margarine on one side. Turn meat over and repeat
process on other side. Broil on high heat for about 4 minutes. Turn
meat over and broil until brown. Remember venison is not as good when
it is overcooked.

FRESH CARIBOU TONGUE

1 medium tongue
4 cup water
2 wild onions, finely chopped
1 handful mint leaves
2 teaspoon coltsfoot salt
1 cup indian vinegar

Wash tongue thoroughly with a brush made of evergreen boughs and trim
off all stringy muscles.

Put all ingredients in the improvised kettle. Set basket in the


kettle and drop in the hot stones until the water boils.

Let the tongue simmer for about 4 hours by continually changing the
stones as they cool. Remove the tongue and plunge it into a
container of cold water; then remove the skin. Scoop out the liquid
in the kettle and strain through several layers of evergreen boughs
into a clean container.

Pour the juice over the sliced tongue and eat it hot; or, put the
tongue back into the strained liquid and set aside to cool for 2
hours. Serve the jellied tongue with slices of corn bread.

Wipe haunch with a clean cloth well saturated with vinegar. Slice
steaks at least 1" thick. Pound each steak well and dredge in flour
that is well seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat fat (bacon grease or
shortening) in a heavy skillet to which about 1/2 stick of butter has
been added. When fat is smoking add steak pieces, but do not crowd.
Brown well on one side, turn and fry the other side. Watch that the
fat does not burn so it may be necessary to add more, lower the heat
before more steaks are fried. Serve at once. SOURCE:*Kathryn

Recipe by: Pansy Hitchcock as remembered by Bright Larkin

Put seasoned flour into small paper bag. Put rats, one or two pieces
at a time into bag and shake to coat with flour. Meanwhile melt
crisco in cast-iron skillet. Put rat pieces into pan and brown on
both sides.

Reduce heat, cover skillet, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until
done. Pour off about half the fat. Stir in flour from the bag until
you have a very thin roux, or put about 2 Tbs. of the flour into a
jar with a tight-fitting lid and add milk, then put on the lid and
shake until the flour is dissolved and all the lumps have gone.

Make sure you scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the
pan. Add milk, stirring, and bring to a boil. If the gravy is too
thick, add more milk. If it is too thin add more flour and milk
mixture and reheat to a boil.

GAILMARYJO'S VENISON JERKY (FROM A MEIER'S BOOK)

5 lb venison; sliced 1/4-1/2


1 thick strips
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Marinate 24-48 hours. I put in a zip lock baggy, and mix off and on
during the

marinating time - Refrigerate during this process. Hang by


toothpicks from oven racks, with a liner on the bottom of the oven.
Bake 4-10 hours at 150-175 deg., or until desired dryness. I use my
water-smoker and do the same as above, except it only takes about 3
hours, and the jerky is moist, yet dry, and more flavorful.

GAKONA DRY MOOSE SAUCE

By: Deidre Ganopole

1/2 c. rendered beef fat


1 c. tomatoes, chopped fresh or stewed
1 c. onion, minced
1/2 c. dried green onion, plumped in a sma; ll amt. of water
salt & pepper
1 1/2 cup water
1 can mushroom stems & pcs, 4 oz

The moose that is taken late in the season & destined to feed many
Alaskan families is often a dry & lean animal. To lovers of fat beef,
late-season moose isn't much of a treat. While living in Flennallen
one winter, we learned from a family in Gakona how to make a sauce to
eliminate some of the problem. It's good on fat moose or beef, too.

In frying pan over medium heat bring fat to hot. Combine all
vegetables except mushrooms in a bowl & salt & pepper to taste. Pour
them into hot grease & saute for 3 mins. Add water & bring to a boil.
Cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Drain mushrooms, add them to
sauce & heat for another 2 mins. Add extra liquid if mixture appears
too dry. Serve either on or beside meat.

GAME CASSOULET

2 tablespoons olive oil


1 ea medium onion, minced
1 cup cranberries or currants
2 lbs. mixed game, cut in small pieces**
1-1/2 cups red wine
2 cups beef broth or homemade stock
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon sage
salt and pepper to taste

** (duck, pheasant, venison, buffalo stew meat, turkey dark meat, elk or
rabbit)

Using a large, deep, heavy saucepan, saute the onion and berries over
medium heat for a few minutes. Add the meat and brown for 8 to 10 minutes.
Pour in the wine and let that liquid reduce until about half is evaporated.
Now add the broth or stock, thyme and sage and let the whole mixture cook
very slowly for about an hour or more, until the meat is very tender and
the gravy juices have thickened. If you think the juices aren't thick
enough, dust the meat with a little flour and stir it in. Put heat on low
or ''keep warm.'' Serve over hot pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.

This dish can be made a day ahead and reheated. If you want a little more
richness, add a tad of heavy cream and some garlic powder, but it is really
delicious just the way it is.

If you have pork or veal in your freezer to use up, you could easily
substitute it for one of the game meats. Veal is often sold in cutlet form
in small amounts. If you see it for a reasonable price, buy it and save it
up until you have enough to make a whole dinner, or use in a recipe like
the one above.

GAME STOCK

2 carrots
1 onion
5 lb venison bones
1 water
3 sprigs thyme
6 sprigs parsley
1 celery stalk
5 black peppercorns
4 juniper berries; optional

Cut carrots into 3-inch lengths. Cut onion into eights. Roast carrots,
onion and game bones on baking sheet at 400 degrees, shaking pan
every few minutes, until bones are brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer
carrots, onion and bones to large pot. Pour 1 cup water onto baking
sheet and scrape with spatula to release caramelized cooking
particles. Add to pot with bones and vegetables. Tie thyme, parsley
and celery stalk together and add to pot with peppercorns and juniper
berries. Cover with 5 quarts cold water and bring almost to boil over
high heat. Just before stock boils, reduce heat and simmer 4 hours.
Set aside to cool. Strain stock and discard solids. Store cooled
stock covered in refrigerator up to 5 days or put in plastic freezer
containers and freeze up to 3 months. Yields 4 quarts.

1/2 lb boneless pork loin; cut in 1/2 x 1/2 inch str

1 cajun seasoning

For the forcemeat- If the meat is not very smooth and fine after it
has been ground 3 times, place it in small batches in a food
processor and process it until it is very smooth and the consistency
of the meat in a frankfurter. Add all the ingredients and mix
thoroughly. When well mixed take a small portion of the meat and
poach it in a little boiling water or saute it in a fry pan and test
the seasonings. I prefer to saute the meat. If needed, correct to
taste. Remember these will be eaten cold and the seasoning will not
be as intense when cold so they should be a little over seasoned when
hot.

For the terrines- Using one pound per pan, line each pan with bacon,
allowing the bacon to hang over the side so you can cover the tops
when done. This is accomplished by starting each strip in the center
of the bottom of the pan and working it up the sides and hanging the
excess over the side. Continue until the pan is completely lined.
This will require most of the pound of bacon.

Terrine #1 - Place enough forcemeat in the bottom of the pan to form a


Page 587

layer about 1 inch deep. Pat in down firmly expelling all the air
from the corners and bottom. Place a layer of the chicken livers on
the meat, sprinkle with salt and the cajun seasoning to taste, and
cover with another layer of meat. Again pack it down firmly expelling
all the trapped air and sealing it to the bottom layer. Place the
sliced chicken breasts on top of the second layer of forcemeat
longways and again season to taste with the salt and cajun seasoning.
Cover with a third layer of forcemeat and pack down firmly. The pan
should be almost full to the top when done. Fold the bacon strips
over the top of the meat, pat down firmly and cover with aluminum
foil.

Terrine #2- This terrine should be made in layers the same way as the
first. Saute the mushrooms and bell pepper in the butter until just
cooked and set aside. Squeeze the spinach with your hands to get all
the liquid out. Construct the terrine using the mushrooms, spinach,
bell pepper and pork loin, seasoning to taste as before, with the
salt and cajun spice. The m ush rooms , spi nach and bel I pepper wi
I I cook down a lot so add more than you think you need or you wont
see them when you serve the terrine. The nicest part of serving the
terrine is seeing the pattern the vegetables and meats make when you
cut it. continued in part 2

1 see part 1

Terrine #3, Put this terrine together as the others, in layers, using
the listed ingredients and seasonings making any pattern you wish.
Remember these are just suggestions for ingredients to use in these
terrines and you are only limited by you imagination and flavors that
will blend together.

To cook The terrine- Place the terrine pan in a boiling water bath
that comes about halfway up the sides of the pan and cook in a
preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until the meat
reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Remove and chill
overnight before serving. Classically it should be cooled with a
weight on top of it to compress it as it cools. I find that when I do
this the terrine tends to be too dry. I cool mine unweighted.

NOTES : Salt and the Cajun seasoning are to taste in all of the
terrines.

GARBANZO BEAN STEW

2 lb dried garbanzo beans


10 cup water
4 lb stew beef or venison, cut into 1-in; ch cubes
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Soak the garbanzo beans overnight in twice their volume of water. The
beans will absorb much of the water and swell in size. The following
day, drain and rinse the beans under cold running water. Place the
beans in a large pot with the 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil over
high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2
hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add the meat,
onions, salt, and pepper, stir well and continue cooking another 2
hours until the meat is tender and the beans are fully cooked. Serve
hot with one of the many Indian breads, for example, Indian
Tortillas, Adobe Bread, or Piki Bread. ***** Margaret Archuleta of
Picuris Pueblo taught me the recipe for this simple and satisfying
stew made with garbanzo beans. I first tasted it while celebrating

of garlic and sour orange juice). Allow it to marinate for a couple
of hours, then grill it.

GARY'S GRILLED VENISON

1 lb venison, thinly sliced


1/3 cup cooking sake (rice wine)
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 single red pepper
1 single other spices (optional)
1 single tariyaki sauce

NOTE: Use more vinegar if venison has a strong, "gamey" taste!

Marinate venison about 20 minutes in a marinade of sake, vinegar, soy


sauce and spices.

Grill the slices of venison over a charcoal grill. A grill made of


chicken wire mesh is fine in that the slices of meat will not fall
down between the rods. Dip the cooked meat in tariyaki sauce if you
prefer. Serve with rice.

GARY'S RABBIT TERRINE

1 rabbit, boned and chopped


1 into 4 cm pieces (1kg
1 rabbit - 400g meat)
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 onion, peeled and finely
1 chopped
2 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
2 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely
1 chopped
30 ml whisky
400 gm boneless belly pork, chopped
1 into 4 cm
200 gm fatty bacon, finely chopped
75 gm apricots, diced
50 gm pistachio nuts, skin removed
1 roughly chopped
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon whisky
12 rashes of rindless streaky
1 bacon
4 bay leafs
2 sprigs of thyme
1 watercress
1 figs, quartered
1 slice fresh bread
1 chutney

Blanch the nuts in some boiling water and rub them between your hands
to remove the skin.

Melt 2 Tbsp of butter in a saucepan over a moderate heat. Add the


onions to the pan and sweat them until they are transparent. Add the
garlic, thyme and rosemary to the onions and cook the mixture for a
further minute. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the
mixture to cool.

Place all the terrine ingredients except the pistachios in a bowl


including the cooled onion mixture. Mix the ingredients together
until well combined and cover it with cling film and refrigerate it
over night or for at least 6 hours to allow the flavours to mingle.
After marinating the ingredients, chop the meat finely to a rough
mince or use a mincer using the coarsest mincer. I prefer to chop the
meat by hand as you have more texture. Return the mixture to a bowl
and mix in the pistachios so that they are well distributed.

Preheat an oven to 160C. Place 2 bay leaves and a sprig of thyme on


the base of an 800ml-1litre terrine container or loaf tin and line it
with 8 slices of streaky bacon. Fill the container with the terrine
mixture, pressing it down firmly. Place the remaining slices of bacon
over the top of the terrine and place the remaining bay leaves and
thyme on top. Place the lid on the terrine or cover it in foil and
place the terrine container in a roasting dish filled with enough
Page 596

water to come up to 2/3s of the terrine container (bain-maire). Place


the terrine in the roasting tin on the centre shelf in the preheated
oven. Cook the terrine for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, until
the terrine is set. The terrine is cooked when it begins to come away
from the sides and the fat runs clear.

Remove the terrine from the oven and bain-marie, remove the lid or
foil from the terrine and allow it to cool. Cover the terrine with
cling film and place a weight on it eg. tin of food. Place the
weighted down terrine in the refrigerate and leave it for one day
before serving. The terrine will keep for 2-3 days covered in a
refrigerator.

Serve the slices of the terrine with quartered figs and handful of
watercress or and slices of buttered rye or wholemeal bread and
chutney of your choice

GEFULLTER REHRUCKEN GOLDENER HIRSCH

3 lb venison from the rump cut


1 into 2 inch cubes
1 peeled truffles
1 filling:
1 reserved venison trimmings
6 slice lean bacon, finely ground
2/3 cup ground lean pork
1/2 cup ground veal
1/4 cup minced goose or chicken livers
1 salt and pepper
1 allspice
1 marjoram
1 thyme to taste
1 madeira
1/3 cup shelled pistachio nuts
1 aspic:
2 envelopes gelatin
1/2 cup madeira
1 cup bouillon
1 salt
1 chestnuts
1 cumberland sauce

With a sharp knife remove the two loins from a well aged saddle of
venison, reserving the carcass, and draw off the thin covering of
membrane from the meat. Trim the ends of the loins, reserving the
trimmings, and slit each loin almost through lengthwise. Spread open
the meat and pound it lightly until it is evenly thick throughout.
Cover the meat with thin slices of peeled truffles. Grind finely the
reserved venison trimmings. Combine them in a bowl with 6 slices of
lean bacon, finely ground, 2/3 cup ground lean pork, 1/2 cup ground
veal, and 1/4 cup minced goose or chicken livers. Season the mixture
with salt, pepper, allspice, marjoram, and thyme to taste and add
enough Madeira so that the filling can be piped through a broad pastry
tube. Pipe the filling over the truffle slices and press 1/3 cup
shelled pistachio nuts into it.

Roll up the two pieces of venison carefully and wrap them securely in
foil. Put them in a roasting pan with the reserved carcass and roast
them, uncovered, in a very hot oven (450-F) for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, let the venison cool, and chill it. Trim
each loin to the exact length of the venison rack, replace them in the
carcass, and reshape the saddle. Arrange it on a platter and chill it.

Sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over 1/2 cup Madeira and let it soften
for about 10 minutes. Bring 1 cup bouillon to a boil, add it to the
gelatin mixture, and stir it until the gelatin is dissolved. Taste the
aspic and add salt and a little more Madeira, if needed. Let the aspic
cool until it begins to thicken slightly and brush it liberally over
the chilled venison. Chill the meat until the aspic is firm. Keep the
remaining aspic at room temperature, brushing it on the venison about
every 12 minutes, and chill the venison after each application until
Page 605

it is nicely glazed. If the aspic becomes too thick to brush, stand


the container in a bowl of hot water. Garnish the venison with
chestnuts and serve it with Cumberland sauce.

GENERAL RULES FOR THE COOKING OF MEATS AND POULTRY COOKIN

1 roasting

Red Meats - Beef, Lamb If to be cooked

RARE - allow twelve minutes to the pound plus fifteen additional


minutes

MEDIUM - fifteen minutes to the pound plus fifteen minutes

WELL-DONE - twenty minutes to the pound plus fifteen additional


minutes.

Veal, Pork

For these white, close fibered meats which should always be well
cooked allow twenty-five minutes to the pound plus fifteen. The
reason for the additional time is to allow the meat to become
thoroughly heated through to the center.

Poultry

This should have twenty minutes to the pound. The temperature should
begin at 500 degrees, and should remain at that point for
approximately fifteen minutes that the surface of the meat may be
seared so as to retain the juices, after which reduce to 400-500
degrees F.

For Turkey, the temperature should be 450 degrees F. for fifteen


minutes, reducing to 375 degrees F. for remaining roasting period.

BOILING

The boiling of meats should always be gentle - furious bubbling


boiling causes the meats to toughen.

GINGER ELK

2 lb elk steak
1/3 cup ginger root; peeled & cut
1 in inch slices
2 medium onions; sliced
2 cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoon vegetable oil; up to 3
2 tablespoon cornstarch

Cut elk steaks, across the grain, into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Layer venison, sliced onions, garlic, and 1/4 cup ginger root in
glass bowl.

Combine soy sauce and sugar and pour liquid over meat. Cover and
refrigerate 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Heat oil and cook 5-6 slices of ginger root until browned and flavor
is released into the oil. Remove and discard these ginger slices.

Drain the majority of soy sauce from the meat and onion marinade.

Add meat, onions, garlic and ginger slices to oil in skillet. Saute
2-3 minutes, then sprinkle cornstarch over meat and stir. Continue
cooking until meat is completely cooked.

Add additional soy sauce to taste.

Notes: This is Jim Zumbo's favorite all-time recipe. Use it for all
big game, especially the strongest cuts of meat. About the soy sauce:
taste the soy sauce; brands vary, and if the soy sauce is very salty,
reduce the marinating time to 30 minutes. About the ginger root: it
is cut in 1/8-inch thick slices so that it can be easily removed
before serving by those who find it too pungent. You may want to
reduce the amount of ginger, and dice it, or keep it as is if you love
the flavor. From Jim Zumbo in JIM ZUMBO'S AMAZING VENISON RECIPES,

would recommend this one. Jim Zumbo is well-known by hunters; he is

GLAZED VENISON PATE

1 lb venison (trimmed weight)


1/2 lb belly of pork (trimmed wt.)
1/2 lb chicken livers
1 small orange
1 lemon
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme (more to taste)
1 whole and ground bay leaves
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pint red wine
1 teaspoon gelatine powder
1 a few kumquats to decorate

Mince all three meats fairly finely and put them into a bowl. Add
the zest of the orange and lemon, the crushed garlic, the thyme,
olive oil, vinegar, a generous pinch of powdered bay and plenty of
black pepper. Mix thoroughly and stir in the wine. Cover and leave
to marinate overnight.

Season with salt - I find 1 teaspoon about right but fry a small
nugget of the mixture to check. Turn the pate into a terrine of
about 2 1/4 pint capacity. Pack the mixture well down into the
corners of the dish and use a spoon to hollow out slightly the centre
top. Cover with greaseproof paper and foil, stand the dish in a
roasting pan containing enough hot water to come halfway up the sides
of the dish. Bake at 325 F (160 C) gas mark 3 for 2-1/4 to 2-1/2
hours.

Using a bulb baster, remove and reserve most of the juices that
surround the pate. Replace the greaseproof paper and foil, press the
pate lightly with 1-1/2 to 2 lb weights and cool for 1-1/2 hours.
Then drain off any remaining juices that have not been re-absorbed by
the pate. Mix all the venison juices that you have collected with the
juice of the orange and measure. Add a splash of water if necessary
to make 1/2 pint in total. Dissolve the gelatine powder in the
mixture and use it to glaze the pate, adding a few bay leaves and
kumquats to decorate if liked.

GOAT STEW/CHANFANA DA BAIRRADA [TTOP]

1 kg goat or lamb, boned and cut into bi; ggish pieces.]


90 gm bacon, fatty and cut into small cub; es.]
3 tablespoon olive oil.
30 gm lard.
1 teaspoon paprika.
3 parsley sprigs.
1/2 coffeespoon of pepper.
1 large onion, chopped.]
1 bay leaf.
2 large garlic cloves, chopped.]
450 ml red wine, from bairrada area if pos; sible.]
1/4 coffeespoon nutmeg.
1 salt.

Put all the seasonings in the casserole, mix, taste for salt and add
the meat. Now pour in some of the wine, so the meat is almost
covered. Put the lid on the casserole and bring to the oven, which
must be very hot [232^C/450^F]. Bake for an hour at that temperature,
then check the amount of liquid in the casserole.

Add the remaining wine now, keep the oven at the above temperature
for 30 minutes longer, then reduce to 180^C/350^F until the end of
cooking [another 1 to 1 1/2 hours].

Remove from the oven, test for salt and liquid [it should bw swimming
in gravy] and keep for a day or so, until needed. Then place it in
the oven again until really hot. Serve accompanied by boiled potatoes.

This festive stew used to be prepared in the baker's oven and still
is, when possible. There is no reason, however, why one could not
prepare it at home. The proper container is a large black earthen
ware casserole from the same region, but you could use any roomy,
fireproof dish with a lid.

Weddings and christening feasts are whole-day affairs in the country,


with food and wine brought to the large tables at regular intervals.
This stew is but one of the succulent celebration dishes of the
Bairrada region, which rates among the richest and most inventive in
the culinary field.

Goat meat is the classic choice, but lamb can also be used.
Quantities here are given for 4 people, but these could be doubled or
trebles, as needed.

This stew is normally prepared a day or so in advance, and then


reheated.

GOOSE GUMBO

----STOCK----
2 geese; cut up
2 tablespoon salt
1 medium onion
2 celery stalks
4 garlic cloves
----ROUX----
3/4 cup bacon grease or lard or cooking oil
3/4 cup flour
----TO ROUX, ADD----
1 3/4 cup chopped onions - (about 1 medium on; ion)
1 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper - (about 2 bell; peppers)
1 1/4 cup chopped celery stalks - (about 4 ce; lery stalks)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
----THEN ADD----
3 quart hot goose stock; strained
1 roux
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon each red and black pepper
1 tablespoon tabasco
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
----ADD----
1 reserved cut-up goose meat
1 lb sausage - cut into small rounds
14 to 24 md. oysters; shucked
----SERVE OVER----
1 rice
----GARNISH----
1 chopped green onions

To make the stock, cut up geese and place them in a very large pot;
cover with water. Add 2 tb. salt, 1 medium onion, 2 celery stalks
and 4 garlic cloves. Bring to a boil; simmer 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Remove geese; let cool. Debone meat, cutting meat into bite-size
pieces. Return bones and skin to pot and simmer 30 minutes. Strain
stock, reserving 3 quarts.

To make roux, use a cast iron skillet and add bacon grease. Sift in
small portions of the flour until you've added the whole amount. Do
this at medium heat, stirring constantly (constant stirring is _very
important_, you will ruin the roux if you don't do this!), until the
mixture is the color of a dark penny. This will take 15 to 45
minutes. To the roux, add 1 3/4 c. chopped onions, 1 1/4 c. each
chopped bell pepper and celery, and 1 tb. minced garlic. Saute
vegetables in roux until tender.

To very large pot, add hot stock and roux. Bring to a boil and then
add 1 tb. salt, 1/2 tb. each red and black pepper, 1 tb. Tabasco and
2 tb. chopped parsley. Simmer one hour.

Add cut up goose and sausage. Simmer 45 minutes. Add shucked oysters;
simmer 10 minutes.

GOOSE IN ORANGE SAUCE

1 large canada goose


1 pkg oven cooking bags
2 envelopes brown gravy mix
4 tablespoon brown sugar
2 6 oz. cans frozen orange
1 juice concentrate,
1 pulp-free
2 cup hot water
1/2 cup flour
4 tablespoon orange marmalade or plum
1 jelly
3 cloves garlic, finely
1 chopped

Slowly thaw the bird (overnight in cold water or refrigerator) and


clean thoroughly. Place goose breast down in oven-cooking bag, seal
and bake in a covered roasting pan for approxiamtely 1 to 1-1/2 hours
in a 325-degree oven. Pour fat and drippings from goose and discard.
Mix above ingredients together, pour over goose and into cooking bag,
and seal bag. Return to roasting pan and continue cooking 2-4 more
hours, or until goose is falling off bones or appears to be tender.
Pour sauce into gravy boat and serve with sliced goose.

ADDENDUM

Cleaning

I found it very important that the bird be thawed and cooked


immediately afterward. Waiting 1 or 2 days to cook it after thawing
tends to taint the meat and it does not taste very good. Also, it is
very important to clean the bird thoroughly before cooking. I run the
bird under cold water while picking off all excess fat and feathers
and then run cold water through the body cavity until the water is
clear.

Cooking

I found the maximum roasting times were the best, regardless of the
size of the goose. That is, <B>roast</B> it 1-1/2 hours and then 4
hours.

Cooking bags
Page 621

Cooking bags are available from Safeway in the food wrap section. Get
the large size. The package contains 2 bags. Do not try to save the
first cooking bag. Instead of &quot;pouring fat and drippings from
goose&quot;, just remove the goose from the cooking bag, discard the
bag (drippings and all), put goose into a new bag, pour sauce into
bag, and seal.

Serving

When done, the meat will be falling off the bones. Remove skin and
discard. Remove meat from bones and arrange pieces on a serving
platter. Discard bones. Pour orange sauce over the meat pieces and
serve.

GRAM SELMA

4 tbsp. corn oil or butter 1 large yellow o; nions, chopped


2 medium yellow squash, cubed
1 red bell pepper, roasted, seeded and ch; opped
4 cups whole kernel yellow sweet corn
1/2 cup parsley, chopped fine salt and pepp; er to taste
1/2 cup water or stock, if needed

(my understanding is that buffalo suet was orginally used)

This is stated by the Pawnee people as being one of their oldest dishes,
despite that it has modern touches; the yellow squash is the one ingredient
that they insist on, occasionally chopped nuts are added if not being
served with above recipe. I and my mother both really like it as a side
dish to any traditional foods of the woodlands.

Warm oil or butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Quickly saute'
the onion for 3 to 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the squash and
chopped pepper, stirring to blend well and cook for an additional 5
minutes. Stir often to keep mixture from sticking. Add the corn, the
remaining seasoning and all or some of the liquid if the mixture is
sticking--add more liquid as needed. Stir well, cover, and cook for 10 to
15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Serve hot.

GRANDMA SCHHULTZ'S MOOSE MEAT SAUSAGE

9 lb ground moose meat


3 lb ground pork
1 cup flour
4 tablespoon pepper
2 tablespoon mustard seed
6 tablespoon coarse salt
4 tablespoon sage
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon red barbecue salt
1 1/2 cup boiling water

Mix all ingredients together belnding well. Put into sausage skins,
tying well in desired lengths. Smoke sausage in smoker or use
barbecue.

To use barbecue, make a small fire on a foil pie plate using dry
poplar or willow. When half burned down, smother with oats. Lift
barbecue rack as high as possible and place sausages on top. Cover
with old blanket to keep smoke in, but leave front open. Smoke for 1
1/2 hours. Fire may have to be made several times, always on a plate
away from the meat as they must not get hot.

After smoking, sausages should be fairly firm. Plunge them into a


large kettle of rapidly boiling water; return to a boil for 10-15
minutes. Remove and dry sausages on rack.

To prepare sausages for eating, bake at 350 F. for 15 to 20 minutes.

Sausages may be frozen. To reheat, double baking time. From: Peter

GREAT LAKES OJIBWA DUCK STUFFED WITH WILD RICE

2 long island ducklings


1 salt and ground pepper to
1 taste
3 tablespoon hazelnut or sunflower oil
1 1/2 cup sliced wild mushrooms
1 cup sliced green onions
1 cup blanched hazelnuts
1/2 teaspoon dill seed
4 cup cooked wild rice
2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or
1 parsley

(morels, crimini, shiitake or oyster mushrooms)(I used a combination


of portabella and shiitake in order to have enough)

One day as a warrior returned to camp, he found a duck sitting on the


rim of his soup pot. As the startled duck flew away, it dropped some
pieces of grain into the soup. The warrior ate the soup, and found
that the grain was very good so the next morning he went off in the
direction that the duck had flown, finally coming to a lake where he
found a flock of ducks. The ducks were feeding on the water grass,
which came to be known as manoomin, or 'good grain.' Traditional
Indigenous American ricers, to this day, still follow the duck guides
to the marshes where the wild rice is ripe.

The ducks themselves, who feed on this wild rice, are considered to
be a delicacy. One might note that waterfowl that eat fish and
insects often have a slightly "fishy" taste, but the flavor of
mallards, canvas backs, teal and rails that flock to the wild rice
marshes have a wonderful mild and slightly nutty flavor.

One should also note that these leaner wild ducks don't contain as
much fat as the store bought ones, so tying strips of pork fat or
bacon around the duck is recommended to keep them moist during
roasting. For rare duck, allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound roasting
time.

Native Peoples magazine says

"The recipe that follows offers the alternative of using more


commercially available Long Island ducklings, but the stuffing of
wild rice studded with wild mushrooms and hazelnuts gives even the
domestic descendants of the wild mallard the flavor of the North
Woods. To complement the ducks and stuffing, we suggest serving two
other Northeastern specialties, cranberry sauce sweetened with maple
syrup and hazelnut-honey baked squash."

Rinse the ducks and pat dry. If you want to use giblets in the
stuffing, trim off the tough outer layer from gizzards, thinly slice
giblets and reserve. Season ducks inside and out with salt and
pepper.
Page 630

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add giblets and
saut‚ for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, onions, hazelnuts, and dill seed.
Saut‚ for about 1 minute, until mushrooms and nuts are just golden.
Add wild rice and the fresh dill or parsley to skillet. Season with
salt and pepper and toss. Allow stuffing to cool.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Loosely stuff the neck and body
cavities of ducks. Close neck flap with a skewer and cover exposed
stuffing near the tail with aluminum foil so it will stay moist.
Prick skin all over with a sharp forks so the ducks will self-baste
in their fat. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast the
ducks, allowing about 30 minutes per pound. Prick skin and baste
ducks with dripping two or three times during roasting. Ducks are
done when juices run clear with no hint of pink when thigh is pierced.

Serves 6 to 8.

Other Notes: There is quite a bit of difference in the amount of fat


on a wild duck and a domestic one. Since mine was a domestic bird, I
did not do any basting. I also put it on a rack so that it would not
be sitting in all that fat. If roasting a wild duck then go by the
other suggestions. Mignonne

GREEN CHILI CRAB AND HOMINY CAKES WITH SALSA FRESCA

By: Mary Putman, executive chef and general manager, Pearlz

for the crab cakes:


1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1 cup hominy, prefer yellow, rinsed well
1/2 cup mild green chilies, diced
1/2 cup sweet onion, finely diced
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon old bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 to 1/2 cup panko breading
salt and pepper to taste
additional panko for breading
olive oil for sautéing
for the salsa fresca:
4 ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
1 avocado, diced
1 fresh jalapeno, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy sauté pan, cook the hominy, green chilies, onion and celery over
medium heat until slightly browned. Place the cooked vegetables in a
mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients to the vegetables and combine gently so as


not to break up the lumps of crabmeat.

Form the mixture into cakes and coat with the Panko. Allow the mixture to
set for half an hour before cooking.

Put approximately a tablespoon of olive oil into a heavy bottomed sauté pan
and heat over medium heat until the pan and oil are hot.

Brown the cakes and place on a baking sheet, only cooking halfway or so.

Reheat in oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes before serving.


Salsa combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.

Allow to marinate for about an hour.

GREEN CHILI SLEW

2 lb.. meat, cut into small pieces


2 ears corn (scrap kernels from cob) or
3 cups frozen or canned corn
3 stalks diced celery
3 med. peeled and diced potatoes
2 med. diced tomatoes
5 roasted diced green chili

Brown meat in large pot. Add remaining ingredients along with water to
make a stew consistency, cover and simmer approximately 1 hour.

GREEN CHILI STEW (CONTEMPORARY)

1 1/2 lb. lean meat, cut in cubes


2 t. vegetable oil
1 lg. red onion, chopped
4 c. water
4 potatoes, quartered
1/2 to 1 c. green chilies, seeded, cut up
1 c. cilantro
1/2 c. water
4 zucchini, cut in chunks
1 tsp. oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sm. potato, greated
salt and pepper
sour cream (optional)

Green chili Stew is an old New Mexican staple which can be prepared with
lamb, beef, or pork. The Navajo Indians use lamb, but a combination of beef
and pork is good too. It's a fine dish to prepare a day in advance because
it tastes even better the second day.
In a large saucepan brown the meat in oil. Add onion and continue cooking
until onion is soft. Deglaze pan with 2 cups water. Add remaining water and
simmer covered for 30 minutes. Add the quartered potatoes and continue
cooking until the meat and potatoes are tender. In a blender or food
porcessor puree the chilies, cilantro and 1/2 cup water. Add to the meat
along with zucchini, oregano, garlic, grated potato, salt and pepper. Cook
15 minutes. Serve in large bowls. If desired, top with sour cream.

GREEN-CHILE STEW

By: Gail Lindale, Texas

6 - 8 fresh long green chiles, roast; ed, peeled, seeds removed


1 medium onion, chopped fine
3 to 5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 lb lean pork, cut into 1' cubes
juice of 1/2 lime
up to 1-1/2 cups chicken stock
salt
black pepper
hot green chiles to taste (see note; 2)
1 tblsp olive oil

Heat Dutch oven or medium saucepan over high. Saute onion, garlic,
oregano and cumin until onion is clear. Add green chiles, saute and
stir. Add pork cubes and stir to seize all sides of the pork; add lime
juice and mix.

Now add chicken stock, stopping when most of the pork cubes are covered
with liquid. Stir well, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and set the
timer for 30 minutes. Check occasionally to make sure the stuff isn't
scorching on the bottom. When the timer goes off, check the consistency
and either add more stock if it's gotten thicker/drier than you like it,
or raise the heat and cook uncovered to thicken if it's too runny. Add
salt and black pepper now.

Serve with fresh corn tortillas, a pepper-garlic-onion garnish I'll


describe shortly, and lots of cold beer, horchata, or jamaica. You can
also serve this with sour cream, which is nice.

Garnish:
--------
I've taken to chopping up fresh chiles to make my own food hotter, since
the kids max out at Anaheim chiles. My base mild mix is to cut up an
ancho or poblano chile (the dark green glossy ones, triangular and
medium-pungent) into 1/4' dice, as well as about a quarter of an onion
and a clove of garlic. Add a little olive oil and some dried oregano,
stir well and salt to taste. Sprinkle this on the chile verde, roll it
up in your tortillas, use it in omelettes or even on Texas-style chili.

Notes:
------
1. Long green chiles: if you can't find them fresh, you can use canned
but the taste will be slightly different; the canned variety add lots of
citric acid as a preservative. You might want to cut down on the lime
in that event. I used fresh Anaheim chiles from my garden last year,
and will do so again this year as the Anaheim is producing earliest
(four chiles!) but I'm anxious for my New Mexico varieties to get going.
The original poster is in the center of the universe for this stuff,
though, and frankly you'd probably get better recipes asking your
co-workers, fellow students, or the janitorial staff there than the net;
Page 635

if you do, please post it! :-)

2. Hot chiles: The Anaheims are pretty mild. Some people like to add
jalapenos to this, but I preferred the serranos when we had the pepper
garden last year. I liked six Anaheims and six serranos when it was
just for me and Kim, but the girls wouldn't touch it, which is why I
started making the garnish. You can also garnish with chopped fresh
cilantro or epazote if you can find it; we're growing that and I love it
so far, it's like a cross between cilantro and sorrel in flavor.

GRILLED BREAKFAST QUAIL

1/2 cup butter or margarine; melted


1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 quail; cleaned
8 slice bacon

Combine butter, garlic powder, and salt; brush on all sides of


quail. Wrap 1 slice bacon around each quail; secure with wooden picks.
Grill quail over hot coals 45 to 50 minutes or until done, turning
once. Remove wooden picks, and serve immediately.

GRILLED BUFFALO STEAK

1 marinade:
1/2 cup fruity olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 steaks 6-8 oz each
4 strip buffalo steaks

Place steaks in glass dish or plastic zip lock bag and pour marinade
over. Marinate at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain. Grill over
medium hot coals for 2-3 min, then flip and cook second side 1-2 min.

The amount of time depends on thickness of steaks and intensity of


heat but Wills (Steven Wills of the Western Canadian Bison Ranch with
a herd of 50 animals) says you must take great care not to overcook
the meat. Grill at a slightly lower temperature than beef and don't
pierce with a fork! Remove from grill and let steak stand 5 min.
before serving. Serve with grilled vegetables.

GRILLED CARIBOU TENDERLOIN

2 lb caribou tenderloin; cut in


1/2 inch filets
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup rose wine
1/4 cup water
1 large yellow onion; chopped
2 large garlic cloves; crushed
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 whole black peppercorns

Trim any fat to reduce the gamy taste. Remove the silver skin [white
muscle fiber].

For the marinade, mix all wet and dry ingredients until blended. Add
the onions and stir. Place the filets into a shallow non reactive
dish. Pour the marinade onto the filets, cover and refrigerate for 24
hours, turning the meat over every 8 hours.

Remove the filets from the dish and place on paper towels to dry off
the marinade before you light the grill. Reserve the remaining
marinade for a basting sauce.

Grill for 5-6 minutes, baste with the marinade and turn, grill 4-5
more minutes, baste again with the marinade until it is cooked to
medium rare. The filets cook very quickly.

Caribou, like any venison, is very lean to begin with so basting is a


must. It should not be cooked past medium done.

GRILLED DUCK BREASTS

4 large wild or domestic duck breasts, deb; oned


2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 salt, freshly ground black pepper,; and cayenne to taste
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 tablespoon butter
1 zest from one small orange

The grilled duck breasts were inspired by a couple of Rock's hunting


buddies who are always bragging about grilling deboned duck breasts at
their camp. Rock found a similar recipe in one of my wild game books
that suggested the addition of an orange sauce to serve with the
breasts.

Again, wild duck breasts are preferred, but domestic duck (inquire at
your supermarket for farm-raised moulard duck breasts or other top
quality duck) can be used as well. My duck-hunter friends like to
grill wild duck to rare to medium-rare (the taste is marvelous), but
you can cook them a little longer if you can't stand the sight of
blood.

Prepare the grill.

Rinse the duck breasts in cool water and pat dry. Rub the breasts
with the oil, then season with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Set
aside.

Combine the orange juice and stock in a saucepan over medium-high


heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it reduces by
half. Add the vinegar and cook for three minutes. Add the butter, a
tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly. Season with salt, black
pepper and cayenne. Add the orange zest. Remove from the heat, cover
and keep warm.

When the charcoal is gray and hot, lay the breasts on the grill.
Grill for about seven minutes (time will vary depending on the size
and thickness of the breasts as well as the type of breasts you are
using), then turn and grill for seven to eight minutes for rare to
medium-rare. Cook longer if desired.

Transfer the breasts to a cutting board and slice thinly on the bias.
To serve, put the breasts on dinner plates and spoon the sauce over
them. Makes four servings.

GRILLED DUCK BREASTS WITH ORANGE, GINGER AND BALSAMIC SAU

1 skinless (or substitute


1 goose breast)
1 for the sauce:
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cup no-salt chicken or veal
1 stock
3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
4 tablespoon unsalted margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
1 zest from one small orange

by John Manikowski

Long before restaurants made moullard duck breast trendy, hunters have
known the irresistable taste of grilled duck breast, usually cooked
rare. Farm raised moullard breasts are of course much larger, being
raised primarily for their size but no outdoorsman will bother
comparing the difference in taste between farm-raised and wild duck.
Because one shouldn't compare apples with oranges.

Serve with garlic mashed potatoes with a little orange zest swirling
into it while mashing and collard greens, steamed and sprinkled with
vinegar, salt and pepper.

Preparation:

Start a fire in an outdoor grill.

Clean and wash breasts. Pat dry and set aside.

For the sauce:

Combine orange juice and stock in a medium sauce pan over medium-high
heat. Reduce by one-half, about 15-20 minutes, uncovered. Add balsamic
vinegar and ginger, cook 2-3 minutes then add margarine, 1 tablespoon
at a time while whisking constantly. After margarine is completely
integrated add salt (if using), pepper and orange zest. Turn off heat,
cover and keep warm.

When the charcoals are gray and hot, lay breasts on grate. Grill 6-8
minutes, turn and grill about 8 more minutes or until the meat is
medium-rare to rare, depending how you like your duck meat cooked.
(The time will vary considerably depending on the type of duck, or
goose, breast used. Obviously, decrease the time with smaller ducks
and increase with larger ones.)

Transfer duck breasts to a wooden platter and slice thinly on the


bias. Fan out on warm plates and ladle with a generous amount of
sauce.

GRILLED RABBIT AND SAUSAGE SKEWERS

1 several handfuls fo fresh


1 rosemary, oregano, and
1 marjoram sprigs
1 rabbit (about 3 pounds)
4 links italian sausage, cut
1 into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
1 parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
1 rosemary
1 salt and freshly gound black
1 pepper
12 paper-thin slices prosciutto
1 (about 1/4 pound total)
4 10-inch wooden skewers
1 olive oil for basting

Prepare a low charcoal fore or preheat gas grill for 15 minutes on


low. Toss several handfuls of mixed fresh herb twigs onto the fire.

Because there is not an abundance of meat on a rabbit, slice themeat


very close to the bone, using both a boning and paring knife and
trying to keep the pieces as large as possible. Put the rabbit and
sausage pieces in a bowl and toss with the parsley, rosemary, and
salt and pepper to taste.

Lay a piece of rabbit on a section of a paper-thin prosciutto slice


and roll up. Skewer the rolled-up rabbit with a sage leaf and a
sausage piece, in that order, until all the ingredients are used up.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until
golden brown, about 1 hour. Baste with olive oil during grilling.

GRILLED VENISON TENDERLOIN

2 lb venison tenderloin; cut


1/2 inch filets
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup rose wine
1/4 cup water
1 large yellow onion; chopped
2 large garlic cloves; crushed
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 whole black peppercorns

Ask your butcher or game processor to remove the fat to reduce the
gamy taste. Also ask to have the silver skin or white muscle fiber
removed.

For the marinade, mix all wet and dry ingredients until blended. Add
the onions and stir. Place the filets into a shallow non reactive
dish. Pour the marinade onto the filets, cover and refrigerate for 72
hours, turn the meat over once a day.

Remove the filets from the dish and place on paper towels to dry off
the marinade before you light the grill. Reserve the remaining
marinade for a basting sauce. Place charcoal in a pyramid shape and
light with either lighter fluid, electric starter or chimney starter.
Wait until coals are gray and spread in a single layer for the direct
heat method. Spray grid with non-stick spray and let grid heat over
the hot coals (the hotter the grid, the less chance the food will
stick). Place filets on the grid. Grill for 6-7 minutes, baste with
the marinade and turn, grill 5-6 more minutes, baste again with the
marinade until it is cooked to medium rare. The filets cook very
quickly, the cooking time should be less than 13 minutes depending on
if you like them rare or medium rare.

Venison is very lean to begin with so basting is a must in this


instance. It will not have the maximum flavor if cooked to the medium
well or well done stage.

lightly browned. Ground meat may be sauteed without shaping. Remove
excess fat. Fill jars with pieces. Add boiling meat broth, tomato
juice, or water, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 2 teaspoons of salt
per quart to the jars, if desired.

Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 and


Table 2 according to the canning method used.

HARE WITH CREAM CHANTERELLE SAUCE.

500 gm minced hare meat


2 decilitre milk
1 decilitre sieved
1 breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 decilitre finely chopped
1 onion
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
8 prunes
1 cream chanterelle sauce:
1/2 finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon wheat flour
5 decilitre meat broth
3 decilitre cream
1 decilitre dry white wine
150 gm chanterelles (fresh or
1 canned)

Here in Sweden the hunting for hare is very beloved and traditional
and for that we also eat a lot of hare. This makes Swededes experts
in preparing the meat. ; -)

To begin with, the hare must be tenderized. We normaly let the hare
hang for a week or ten days at temperatures under 4 degree Celsius.
For some, this may sound long, but believe me, the meat will need it.
After the tenderizing, you may place the hare in a bowl, cover it
comple te with processed sour milk and place the bowl in the fridge
for 24 hours. This will make the meat still more tender and take away
some of the strong venison taste. T his action is not necessary if
you do not mind venison tasting venison ;-).

Dry off the meat with kitchenpaper, and you are now ready to make
yourse lf popular by presenting a exquisite dinner. Place the sieved
breadcrumbs in the milk, leave for 10 minutes to swell. Mix the
remaining ingredients (except the prunes).

Add the milk/breadcrumbs-mix. Mix well by hand. Avoid using a


kitchen machine as this could make the meat fibres twist together and
form kind of ropes, making the dish leathery!

Form to small buns or eggs and place a prune in the center of each
egg. Be shure to cover the prune completely with the minced meat. Fry
them golden brown in butter at medium temperature.

To make the cream chanterelle sauce, you:

Start with sizzle the onion in the butter for about 30 seconds. Add
the well wiped off chanterelles and sizzle while stirring until they
start to crack. Add the wheat flour, stirring well. Add the broth,
wine and the cream. Boil until the sauce starts to get thicker. Stirr
Page 663

now and then especiall y at the bottom of the saucepan to avoid


burning. taste with salt and pepper.

Serve with boiled potatoes and green salad.

You will now enjoy the familys undisguised admiration and get a
reputati on of being a perfect chef! (If you do not have a hare, I
guess you could use a white-tail or whatever venison you
have..........) Have a nice time in the kitchen and at the dinner
table! Your Swedish cook (Amateur that is) :-)

3 tablespoon [generous] red or
1 white wine vinegar
2 bay leaves, salt, pepper
15 fresh, roughly chopped sage
1 leaves, or

In 7th century England, herbs were one of the few flavourings


available to cooks and were used heavily...

Melt the butter in a heavy pan and fry the meat with the leeks and
garlic till the vegetables are slightly softened and the meat lightly
browned. Add the barley, water, vinegar, bay leaves and seasoning.
bring the pot to the boil, cover it and simmer gently for 1 - 1 1/2
hours or till the meat is really tender and ready to fall from the
bone. Add the sage and continue to cook for several minutes. Adjust
the seasoning to taste and serve in bowls-- the barley will serve as
a vegetable.

cube it, and brown in batches in olive oil (about 2 Tbsp) in a large
skillet ( I prefer a ten-inch cast iron skillet - not Caphalon!!). If
using venison burger, just brown it. Drain the meat.

In a three to four quart heavy pot (mine is a Le Creuset that I bought


at the Salvation Army in Santa Cruz, CA), heat one Tbsp of olive oil
and saut, two large onions which have been sliced.

When the onions are limp, but not yellow (don't overcook them, maybe 7
minutes tops) add about 10 cloves of garlic which have been mashed and
minced. When the garlic scents up, add the meat. Add one quart of
homemade chicken or beef stock. If you don''t have your own stock, try
Campbell's low-sodium chicken stock.

Add the spices. Crush the oregano in your hand before adding. Bring to
a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and simmer for at least three hours
or until the meat is fork-tender.

Even though venison is very lean, the chili should be defatted. I do


this by letting it cool and then refrigerating the chili overnight.
The next day, I remove the fat.

Notes

The amount of seasoning will make a sprightly but not incendiary


chili. If you're going for the burn, use beef (why waste venison?) and
add three to four fresh chili peppers.

Chili powder can be purchased in bulk at most alternative grocers. The


chili powder is made from only ground up chilies. Don't use commercial
mixes, which include spices and salt which take all the fun out of it.

To serve, reheat. Some like to thicken the chili with masa or fine
corn meal. To do this, mix some about 1/4 cup fine corn meal with
enough water to make a thin paste (no more than one cup of water). Add
this quickly to the chili as it simmers, stir like crazy, or you may
get lumps. If you use the masa, be sure to cook the chili for at least
another 20 minutes or so, or it may taste pasty.

Serve it up in bowls with rice, beans, bread or whatever on the side.


Coleslaw would be the only salad I'd serve with this.

HAWAIIAN WILD BOAR SAUSAGE

1 wild boar sausages

Pigs are what they eat. That's why we only hunt and eat wildboar from
certain areas of our island (Maui). The pigs from the east end of the
island where they feed on mangos and guavas are very good eating,
these pigs also have the blood of domestic breeds gone feral, so they
have a higher fat content. All this equals great wild game without
the gamely taste. In the forests above my home the wildboars feed in
ferns and shrubbery which gives them a very gamey almost inedible
taste. I'd rather drive acouple hours to harvest good tasting game.
For wildgame sausage, adding belly pork from the butcher will
increase the fat content in the otherwise extremely lean wildgame
meat, making the sausage more tender, less mealy in consistancy.

2 tablespoon onion flakes; dehydrated
2 teaspoon thyme; leaves
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 lb venison; round steak
1 cup water
1 pkg brown gravy mix

1 tomatoes
60 ml (1/4 cup) walnut oil
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) beef or brown
1 stock
10 gm dried mushrooms, sliced
1 fresh herbs, for garnish

Place meat in a flat dish with herbs, tomato and oils. Turn to coat

top of the stove until just smoking. Cook the meat for 2 minutes on
each side. Spoon reserved marinade over the meat. Transfer pan to
a 220C oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, cover and
stand in pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing. (Do not be tempted to
leave meat in oven for any longer than 5 minutes as it will continue

the oven if you prefer meat more rare. Meanwhile, bring stock to
the boil in a small saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, add dried
mushrooms, cover and stand for 30 minutes. Add meat pan juices
and reheat quickly as meat is being sliced. Cut fillets diagonally,
garnish with fresh herbs and serve with roasted potato chunks and a

HIDATSA STUFFED SUGAR PUMPKIN (NORTH DAKOTA)

a 10-inch diameter sugar pumpkin, a; s round as you can get it


2 lbs. or so of fresh ground turkey meat
1 medium onion, diced small
7 small red potatoes*, peeled and diced sma; ll
3 medium-large carrots, sliced thin
½ c pure maple syrup
2 c fresh yellow or green beans
a dozen sprigs of fresh thyme (we u; sed lemon thyme)
5 good sized, fresh sage leaves
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp olive oil
fresh ground pepper to taste
salt to taste

We visit two of the Three Sisters; squash and beans.

o Preheat the oven to 400o F.


o Cut off the pumpkin top and save it. Clean out the inside
(save the seeds for roasting later). Heavily score the inside of the
pumpkin with a paring knife.
o Pour the maple syrup into the pumpkin. Lean the pumpkin on
its side to allow the maple syrup to coat the pumpkin meat. While
assembling the recipe, rotate the pumpkin every few minutes to coat
the entire inside.
o Strip the leaves from the thyme.
o Chop the thyme and the sage leaves small.
o Trim the beans and cut to 1-inch lengths.
o Par cook the potatoes, carrots and beans.
o Using the oil, sauté the onions, but not to the point of
carmelization.
o Brown the ground turkey in a skillet (or venison, buffalo,
beef) and drain off the excess water/fat.
o Combine in a large mixing bowl; the cooked ground turkey, the
par-cooked carrots, potatoes, beans, the sautéed onions, the cinnamon
and the herbs. Mix well. Saly & pepper if you wish.
o Pour the excess maple syrup into a container.
o Fill the pumpkin with the mix but don't pack it down. Add the
excess maple syrup on top.
o Seat the pumpkin lid firmly on top (important for keeping the
steam in the pumpkin).
o Put the pumpkin in a shallow baking pan with ½ inch of water.
During cooking, don't let the water evaporate too much.
o Cook the pumpkin for 2 hours. Check after 90 minutes to see
if the pumpkin meat is tender, using a fork (from the inside).
Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pumpkin meat.
o Cut the pumpkin into wedges, serving both wedges and stuffing.
o Salt & pepper to taste

Variations might be: rice or wild rice in place of potatoes, dry rub
the inside of the pumpkin with salt and dry mustard, use honey
instead of maple syrup, use eggs (3) in the mix to make it more
meatloaf like.

* The red potatoes will be waxier, retain their shape, and not turn
brown as quickly. After dicing, put them in a bowl with a wet paper

HOLYOAK'S VENISON SWISS STEAKS

1 cup water
1 cup vinegar
3 tablespoon salt
1/2 onion or apple
1 steaks or patties in small
1 portions
1 flour
1 salt & pepper
1 onion powder
1 garlic powder
1/2 pint homemade chili sauce
1 can tomatoes

I have been cooking with venison since I was a little little girl.
The venison we kill here every year is very mild and not gamey at all
so I don't have to worry about the taste too much, I can use it as
if it were ground beef. But I have found that when we do get gamey
tasting venison, I marinate the meat overnight in a solution of 1 c.
water, 1 c. vinegar, 3 T. salt, 1/2 onion or apple cut in chunks. It
seems to take away that nasty taste and you can use it in almost any
recipe. Here is a good recipe that I like. It works with burger or
steaks.

Combine flour and seasonings. Dredge steaks in flour mixture. Place


in hot skillet and brown on both sides. Turn heat down and cover.
Turn every 10 min till cooked through. Pour chili sauce and tomatoes
over top and simmer 15 min or till tomatoes are tender and break
easily.

HOME-MADE BEEF JERKY

2 lb flank steak, trimmed *


1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1 nonstick vegetable cooking
1 spray

* Use lean venison or elk flank if it is available.

1. Freeze the flank steak until partially frozen, about 1 hr. Using a
sharp knife, cut diagonally across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick
strips. (For chewier jerky, cut with the grain, but this is only
recommended for card-carrying cowboys.)

2. In a large plastic bag (preferably the self-sealing kind), mix the


remaining ingredients except the cooking spray. Add the sliced beef
and mix well. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up
to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally so the beef strips are
evenly marinated.

3. Remove an oven rack from the oven and lightly spray the rack with
nonstick vegetable spray. Remove the strips from the marinade,
shaking off excess marinade. Pat the strips dry with paper towels.
Arrange the strips, close together but not touching on the rack. Line
the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil (to catch drips).

4. Preheat the oven to 150 F. Place the oven rack with the jerky in
the oven. Bake until a cool piece of jerky (remove from the oven and
cool 5 mins) breaks when bent, about 5 hours. Blot any surface fat
with paper towels. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container
for up to 1 month at cool room temperature, 3 months in the
refrigerator, or 6 months in the freezer. Makes about 1 lb from M.K.

it will take 3 hours to cook it. Parsley and butter, or capon sauce
should be served with it. Onion sauce, turnips, spinach and potatoes
are also all good with it.

HOW TO CORN OR PICKLE BEEF OR VENISON

1 text only

Well, with all the talk about the corned beef and how much salt it
has, I dug out the following recipe that was used on the farm to make
"Corn or Pickled Beef Or Venison."

It is best to cut the meat into 4 to 6 lb pieces. Have barrel ready


and spread a layer of salt on the bottom. Rub each piece of meat
wtih a mixture of salt and pepper and pack down in layers, covering
each with a layer of salt. The top layer should be of salt. Let
stand overnight.

In the morning pour on the following brine: For 25 lbs of meat: 3 lbs
Salt 1/2 t Saltpeter 1/2 c Brown Sugar, Packed Or Molasses 1/2 t
Baking Soda 2 Gals Water

Dissolve the ingredients in 2 gallons water, stir until salt is


dissolved. Test with an egg; if it floats, fine if not, add more
salt. Pour over the packed, salted meat and if necessary, pour on
more water to cover the meat. Invert a dish over itand put a heavy
weight on it, to be sure that the meat will not float. It maybe used
in 2 to 3 weeks. For 100 lbs of meat, double all ingredients.

HOW TO JUDGE A SQUIRREL'S AGE

1 info file

1. Ear pliability. A younger animal will have soft, pliable ears


even after rigor mortis sets in. An older animal will have dry,
stiff ears.

2. Fur condition and tightness to skin. An older animal will have


drier fur with more hollowness to the individual hair shafts, and the
pelt will be tighter to the muscle. The skin may also be thicker,
and show less of a fatty deposit on the underside.

3. Teeth size, coloration and wear. Older animals have worn,


smoother and yellower teeth. Whiter, smaller, sharper teeth are the
sign of a younger animal.

4. General muscle tone, flexibility, tenderness. A younger animal


will retain more pliability even when dead, and a finger poked deeply
into a haunch will cause the meat to dent in and then rebound more
quickly.

Age matters somewhat less than diet and condition. An older animal
that is still fat and tender can be very good eating indeed - look
for yellow fat deposits around the kidneys and haunches to indicate a
better chance of tenderness. But even an old, tough squirrel has a
lovely sweet flavor that can be beautifully brought out in a simple
stew with lemon juice, spring lily bulbs or fresh garlic greens and
potatoes.

I've tasted all manner of exotic game from around the world, and in
truth, plain old American squirrel still ranks up there with my very
favorites.

Tanith Tyrr

To these, I add the suggestions of a co-worker and lifelong squirrel


hunter (his name is Marty Skinner):

Size: Don't use a scope when hunting them. Mature squirrels (3-4
years) are noticeably larger.

Greyness: Yes, even grey squirrels go grey. Check around the light
fur on the belly and also around the whiskers, the hair on an older
squirrel will be greying.

Tail: Young squirrels have spikey tails. As they age, the tail
lengthens, the hair continues to grow, and it become more full.

HOW TO PREPARE WILD GINGER

1 wild ginger
1 canadian snakeroot

Wild ginger is sometimes called the Canadian snakeroot and was widely
used by the Indian tribes in the northern parts of the US and Canada.
The plant grows in shady woods. The leaves are an odd chocolate
color and the flowers are picked and boiled in water. When the
solution has been boiled down to the right consistency it has a
strong smell of ginger. The root can also be prepared and boiled in
water; the solution is then placed in the sun to evaporate. The
resulting powder can be used as ordinary ginger.

WHAT? A biscuit that's gone to the dogs. Though just lumps of deep-fried
cornmeal batter, this Southern classic can inspire reveries from people
below the Mason-Dixon line, where an abiding nostalgia for fish fries and
pig pickin's (pork barbecues) requires a steady supply of hush puppies. 'A
plate of fried fish seems mighty lonely without them,' Angela Shelf
Medearis
wrote in The African American Kitchen, and Southern cooking maven Nathalie
Dupree served fried catfish with hush puppies at her wedding. The unusual
name is usually attributed to people trying to quiet dogs by throwing them
bits of fried treats. Who those people were depends on which story you
believe--plantation servants carrying food to the dining room, Southerners
hiding from Yankees during the Civil War; Reconstructionists pitying dogs
left starving due to food shortages, or hunters rewarding hungry hounds
after day-long excursions. Regardless, when hush puppies are made well,
there's nothing like 'em. Chow down.
straight from Tennessee

Southern Hush Puppies Hush Puppies are traditionally made with fine ground
White Cornmeal but you can also use Yellow Cornmeal, too.

METHOD

Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Add remaining ingredients and thoroughly mix.

When the oil is ready, drop a tablespoon of the batter into the hot oil,
shaping slightly with your hand. This makes one Hush Puppy. Cook three or
four at a time until light brown. They will usually turn over once.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot. Good with fried chicken or catfish.
Makes 12 to 14 hush puppies.

vinegar or lemon juice, along with a pinch of salt in one-half glass of

INDIAN BURGERS

1 pound ground beef


1 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
water
salt and ground pepper to taste
4 cups self-rising flour plus 1 to 2 cups; for kneading
oil or shortening for deep frying

Indian Burgers are a kind of fried meat pie. The dough is same as that used
for fry bread in this region--self-rising flour and water. Usually, the
meat filling is ground beef cooked with onion, and salt and pepper, but
chili powder or other seasonings may be added. The deep fried 'burger' is
cut open on top and ketchup and other condiments spooned in. Serve with a
side of cole slaw.
In a large skillet combine beef, onion, and about 1/2 cup water. Cook over
medium heat for 10 minutes, until beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess
liquid and season beef mixture with salt and pepper. Allow mixture to cool
while preparing the dough.
Place 4 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the flour and
pour in 1-1/2 cups water. Gradually mix the flour into the water to make a
soft, sticky dough. Scrape dough onto a well-floured work surface and knead
for 3 to 5 minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions and,with floured hands,
roll each portion into a smooth ball. Flatten the balls into rounds about 5
inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick.
Place about 1/3 cup of beef mixture in the middle of a fry bread round.
Gently lift the edges of dough and pinch and seal overlapping dough to
enclose the meat filling. Deep-fry at 350 F. for 6 to 8 minutes until
golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

INDIAN CORN STEW

1 x no ingredients

Pueblo Indians often simmered large pots of meat over an open fire and
added fresh
vegetables, like corn and squash, to the pot

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef, 1 1/2 cups sweet
green peppers
(cored, seeded, and chopped), 1 large yellow onion (chopped, 1-1/2 cups), 2
cloves garlic
(minced), 8 large ears of corn (kernels cut off) or 4 cups frozen corn, 1
can (14 ounces)
crushed tomatoes, 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon each black
pepper and chili
powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) or to
taste, 1
medium-size zucchini or yellow summer squash, thinly sliced crosswise (2
cups)

Step 1: In a 6-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil over moderately high heat.
Add the beef and
cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes or until browned. Lower the heat,
stir in the green
peppers, onion, and garlic, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until
tender, stirring
occasionally.

Step 2: Stir in the corn, tomatoes, Worcestershire, black pepper, chili


powder, salt, and red
pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15
minutes. Add the squash,
then simmer for 5 minutes longer or until the vegetables are tender.

Before Indian Corn can be used for Corn Soup it must be thoroughly dried.
The corn is picked
in the late fall, the husk pulled back, then braided into three foot long
bunches and hung up
in the barn so the crows can't get at it.

Before Indian Corn (which is white :-) can be cooked into corn soup, it
must first be put
through a process called "lying:. Lye is an extremely strong acid found in
hardwood ashes.
This is what the traditional Indians used as it was abundant from their
campfires. This lying
process softens the outer shell somewhat and allows the two black eyes
Page 704

found on each kernel


of corn to be washed off after cooking. There are very few Indians adept at
preparing the
dried white corn in this manner. The amount of wood ashes to be boiled with
the corn is a
very tricky task to accomplish properly. Too much lye will destroy the corn
and too little
will not do the job.

Therefore we leave this to the "lyers" of the tribe. The corn is boiled
with the hardwood
ashes and water for about two hours. Then it is washed to remove the eyes
or hulls and to
rinse the corn free of lye. The Tuscarora reservation has three or four
"lyers" who perform
the difficult and messy task of "lying". A "lyer" will do a large amount of
corn in a day
depending on how many orders she has to do for the tribal members. I get my
"lyed" corn from
Mrs. Norton Rickard of Blacknose Spring Road. Usually I order five quarts
at $3.00 per quart.
I then divide it into three parts. I will freeze two of them and cook one
part...about a
quart and one half.

INDIAN JERKY

3 gal water
2 lb dry brown sugar
1 oz saltpeter
1 oz cayenne pepper
1 cup juniper berries, crushed
1 whole piece ginger

Bring water to a boil and add remining ingredients. Boil for 5


minutes. Remove scum as it appears. Cool and store in a wooden
barrel or earthenware crock.

Jerky is dried meat, cut in long strips from large game or beef. To
prepare sun-dried jerky, cut fresh meat into long thi strips about
an inch wide and an inch thick. Rub the strips with salt and hang,
spaced well apart on racks, in the sun to dry. When dry, store in
sacks hung in a dry place.

Jerky can also be made by placing the strips in a corning solution


for 3 or 4 days, then hung on racks over a slow burning smoky fire
for about 2 days. The strips should be placed well apart to keep them
from touching each other. When dry, the strips should be wrapped in
a protective covering such as cheesecloth to keep insects and dirt
from settling on them.

Jerky will keep dry as long as it is exposed to the air and smoke. It
is important not to leave it longer than a couple of days. Then take
it down and store it in air-tight jars or other containers.

INDIAN POT ROAST (AI)

4 lb pot roast
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoon butter
1 salt
1 flour
----IF DESIRED----
12 whole peppercorns
12 whole allspice
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 tablespoon grated horseradish
1/2 cup rum or dry red wine
1/2 cup water
1 large onion
1 recipe dumplings
1 carrots (small or quartered)
----DUMPLINGS----
2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoon baking powder
1 scant c milk

Mash the garlic and saute in the butter. Rub the meat with salt and
flour and brown it well on all sides in the butter. Lay the meat on a
bed or thin-sliced onion in a large Dutch oven or any pot with a
tight-fitting lid. Add the butter, the spices and seasonings and pour
the rum or wine over the meat. (A good pot roast will supply most of
its own juices, but as it cooks pour the 1/2 C water over it to make
an ample supply of gravy.) Cover tightly and simmer for 3 to 4 hours
until the roast is tender. This may be done either in the oven or on
the back of the stove. If you want carrots with the pot roast, add
them to the pot for the last half hour of cooking and for the last 12
minutes of cooking add the dumplings to steam in the flavors of the
pot. When the roast is done, remove it to a hot, round platter and
surround with the dumplings and carrots. Stir the grave until smooth,
correcting the seasoning if necessary. Pour it over the roast; if
fresh dill is available, cut it over the dish with a lavish hand.
Serves 6-8

DUMPLINGS

Sift together the dry ingredients and add the milk gradually. Drop by
the spoonful into the gravy and cook with pot toast or stew during
the last 12 minutes of cooking.

INDIAN TACOS W/MOOSE

1 1/2 lbs. ground moose meat


1 large onion; minced
2 small cans tomato paste
1 large can tomatoes
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
salt, pepper, chile powder to taste
topping:
1 head iceberg lettuce shredded
1/2 lb cheddar cheese grated coarse
on the side:
bowl of onions - finely chopped
bowl of mild green chiles - finely; chopped

Fry onion and moose meat broken up loose. Sprinkle some salt and chile
powder over it. Add tomato paste and 4 cans of water and the canned
tomatoes and their juice - break up tomatoes and stir it around. Taste for
seasoning.

Simmer till meat and onions are done and sauce is thick, 30 - 40 minutes.

Assembling:
Put the flat frybread on a plate and spread sauce over it. Put a handful of
cheese on it and top with a handful of shredded lettuce. Add your own
choice of chopped raw onion, chiles, and maybe some other favorites from

IROQUOIS SOUP - MODERN

By: THE ART OF AMERICAN INDIAN COOKING

4 lg. mushrooms, sliced


2 10 1/2 oz cans beef consomme
2 T. yellow corn meal
2 T. minced parsley
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp. basil
1 onion, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
haddock fillets, 12 oz (or other wh; ite fish of choice)
1 1/4 c. baby lima beans

The Iroquois were blessed with clear, cool lakes and sparkling streams, and
both served up an abundance of fish. Fish soup, or u'nega'gei, as the
Iroquois called it, was a favorite. One early recipe is described, 'Fish of
any kind is boiled in a pot with a quantity of water. It is then removed
and
coarse corn siftings stirred in to make a soup of suitable consistency.'
When wild onions and greens were available, they were usually tossed into
the soup pot, adding both color and flavor.
Place the mushrooms, consomme, corn meal, parsley, garlic, basil, onion,
pepper and salt in a large
saucepan, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add haddock, lima beans,
and sherry and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, breaking haddock
into bite-sized pieces. Serve hot.

6 spice- cloves, whole
1/2 lb bacon blanched and diced
1 cup wine- dry white

Remove the rind and layer of fat from the boar's leg. Marinate the

parsley, thyme, bay leaf, a little coarse salt, the peppercorns and 4
cloves in a large bowl [DO NOT USE ALUMINIUM] for 4 days. Turn the

Make the stock in the usual way, using the trimmings and the bones of
wild boar.

Drain the meat and brush off the vegetables. Stick the leg with the 6
cloves and put into a large deep casserole with the bacon, about half
of the marinade, strained, and the white wine. Cover the casserole
and cook it in a preheated 350^F oven for about 2 hours.

braising liquid over it. Then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the sugar.
Increase the oven temperature to 500^F and glaze the leg for about 10

stir in the vinegar, and bring to a boil. Let the vinegar almost
evaporate and add the game stock. Bring to the boiling point and then
simmer for 5 minutes. Add the raisins and simmer for 2 more minutes.
Serve the sauce separately in a sauceboat.

JANE HIBLER'S VENISON CHILI

1 lb dried pinto beans, soaked


1 overnight
2 lb venison
3 centiliter garlic
1 large onion, chopped
6 oz tomato sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder

Cook beans until tender.

Grind venison with garlic.

Combine beans, onion, tomato sauce, salt, and chili powder and cook
over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 2-3 hr.

Recipe doesn't say what to do with the meat, but you can figure it
out. I would substitute the meat for the beans in the third paragraph
and then toss the beans (or fix them separately). I would also
increase the chili powder by a factor of about 10.

JAVELINA AND MULE DEER CHILI

1 javelina
1 mule deer

When I got to Texas, I set out looking for the best bowl of red. I
thought the Texas Chili Parlor in Austin was OK but lacked something.
One weekend spent quail hunting on a ranch led me to the holy grail.
One of the Tejano hands prepared chili with javelina and mule deer.
So pork makes sense. He added coffee and Gephardt's chile powder. The
chocolate replaces the coffee and Gephardt's is made from red NM
chiles. Beer (Lone Star) was added for moisture. So, bigwheel, the
recipe is not so strange as you might think. The major players are
meat and chiles and the other ingredients are meant to boost their
flavors. In my mind's eye, this is what chili is supposed to be.

JELLIED MOOSE NOSE

1 upper jawbone of a moose


1 teaspoon salt
1 onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon mixed pickling spice

Cut the upper jaw bone of the moose just below the eyes. Place in a
large kettle of scalding water and boil for 45 minutes. Remove and
chill in cold water. Pull out all the hairs - these will have been
loosened by the boiling and should come out easily ( like plucking a
duck). Wash thoroughly until no hairs remain. Place the nose in a
kettle and cover with fresh water. Add onion, garlic, spices and
vinegar Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the meat
is tender. Let cool overnight in the liquid.

When cool, take the meat out of the broth, and remove and discard the
bones and the cartilage. You will have two kinds of meat, white meat
from the bulb of the nose, and thin strips of dark meat from along
the bones and jowls. Slice the meat thinly and alternate layers of
white and dark meat in a loaf pan. Reheat the broth to boiling, then
pour the broth over the meat in the loaf pan. Let cool until jelly
has set. Slice and serve cold.

underneath. Heat some olive oil in a pan until very hot and add the
marinated rabbit pieces to brown it off. Coat with pimenton as you
do so. Then add the chopped pancetta and the peppers. Pour in the
wine and allow the alcohol to burn off. Top the dish with the olives,
turn the heat down to low and allow everything to cook slowly for 20

JERKY A LA WILLIE REV. 4.1

10 oz bottle of lo salt soy sauce


1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon liquid mesquite smoke *
1 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 up to 3 lb lean meat **

* use in place of smoker. ** beef, deer, elk etc.

Mix all ingredients except meat to make marinade. Cut thinly sliced
meat into 1/2 inch strips and marinate for 12 to 24 hours (the longer
the better). Smoke using mesquite chips for about three hours and
then finish drying in oven. If doing whole operation in oven use
liquid smoke and hang strips of meat on highest rack and put shallow
pan underneath to catch drippings. Turn oven on and set to lowest
possible setting and leave for 6 to 8 hours until thoroughly dried. A
couple of hints that I picked up from one of the cooking echos. Use
toothpicks or wooden skewers to hang meat by, and line the pan with
aluminum foil to collect the drippings and save cleaning problems
later on. If you have access to sweet onions (vidalias, etc) they can
be sliced and dried and then run through the blender to make an
excellent onion powder to be used in this recipe.

JERKY STEW

1 lb jerky, beef or buffalo


1 cup whole dried hominy, soaked overnigh
1 large yellow onion, peeled/chopped
1 lb potatoes*, unpeeled/diced
1 salt and pepper to taste

*Native Americans would have used prairie potatoes -- arrowhead


(Sagittaria latifolia).
: Break the jerky up into 1-inch pieces and place in a heavy, lidded
kettle. Drain the hominy and add to the jerky, along with the onion.
Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until the
hominy is tender, about 2 hours. You will have to watch this closely,
as more water will have to be added as you go along. Add the potatoes
and cook for an additional 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

JERRY'S REDNECK ELK SLIM JIMS

1 grind:
12 lb elk meat; with
3 lb pork fat
1 and added the following:
2 teaspoon [heaping] prague powder #1
4 tablespoon [heaping] paprika
6 tablespoon [heaping] ground mustard
1 teaspoon [heaping] black pepper
2 teaspoon [heaping] white pepper
1 teaspoon ground celery seed
1 tablespoon [heaping] mace
2 teaspoon [heaping] granulated garlic
3 oz salt
2 oz dextrose
8 oz fermento

Placed in the fridge overnight then I stuffed all of this into sheep
casings, and allowed it to dry for 4 hours on the counter. I took one
length and placed in a dehydrator and the rest I placed in the smoker
(preheated to 100 degrees). I allowed to dry in the smoker with the
damper 1/4 open for 8 hours, then applied a heavy mesquite/hickory
smoke for 4 hours with temperature set for 160. When internal
temperature came to 145 degrees, I removed, showered them down and
taste tested... YOWZER...... excellent SlimJims. The one in the
dehydrator may have been better of I had used a little liquid
smoke... but is definitely very tasty by itself.

JOINT OF WHALE MEAT STEEPED IN RED WINE MARINADE

1 1/4 kg whale meat


3 deciliter red wine
1 deciliter vegetable oil
3 ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 teaspoon salt
1 the marinade:
3/4 liter juices from the meat
1 thickening (milk and flour)
4 dessert spoonfuls of sour
1 cream (20% rømme)
1 sugar colouring
1 salt

It may be a good idea to bind the joint to help it keep in good shape.
Place it in a small oven dish and pour the marinade over. Leave the
joint there until the next day, turning it at regular intervals.
Remove the joint from the dish, dry i t well and rub it with salt.
Cook the joint until it turns a pleasant brown colou r all over, turn
down the heat and add water to reach 2-3 cm up the side of the j
oint, approx. 3/4 litre. Let the joint simmer for about 20 minutes,
turn it over and leave it for another 20 minutes. Measure enough of
the juices to make enough marinade, about 3/4 litre. Add the
thickening to the marinade, and then the sour cream to taste. Serve
with boiled beans or other vegetables, and potatoes - boiled or fried
in the pan.

JUGGED HARE W/ FORCEMEAT BALLS

2 hares; oven-ready
4 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon sunflower oil
3 onions; each stuck with a
1 . few cloves
3 carrots; peeled & halved
3 celery ribs; halved
1 centiliter garlic; chopped
1 lemon rind; grated
1 orange rind; grated
5 juniper berries; crushed
1 handful black peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
----FOR THICKENING SAUCE----
6 tablespoon butter
9 tablespoon flour; all-purpose
1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
1 1/4 cup port wine
1 salt & pepper to taste
----FORCEMEAT BALLS----
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 onion; very finely chopped
2 cup day-old breadcrumbs
3 oz beef suet; shredded
2 lemon rinds; grated
2 tablespoon parsley; chopped
1 egg; beaten
1 flour for coating
1 oil for frying

Cut the hares into serving pieces. If available, keep the blood in
a bowl to add to the sauce before serving. In a large flameproof
casserole or heavy saucepan, heat the butter and oil until very hot.
Pat dry each piece of hare with kitchen paper, to absorb any excess
moisture or blood, and brown each piece of hare on both sides in the
hot fat. As the pieces are browned, remove them to a warmed dish;
keep them warm in a low oven. When all the pieces of hare are
browned, add the vegetables and garlic to the fat in the pan and cook
for a few minutes.
Replace the pieces of hare in the pan and add the pared lemon and
orange rinds, the juniper berries, peppercorns and salt. Pour in
enough water to cover the hare. Cover the pan with a tightly fitting
lid and cook gently on top of the stove. or in a preheated low oven
(3000F / 1500C / gas 2), for about 3 hours, or until the meat is just
beginning to come away from the bones.
Meanwhile, make the forcemeat balls. Heat the butter and oil in a
saucepan, add the onion and cook for a few minutes. Pour the onion
into a mixing bowl and add the breadcrumbs. Mix well, then mix in the
suet, lemon rind, parsley and beaten egg. Flour your hands and form
the mixture into small balls about the size of a walnut. Coat each
ball in flour, and put on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof (wax)
Page 737

paper. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook
them. (They can also be frozen.)
Remove the casserole from the oven and cool the hare in the stock.
When cool. take the pieces of hare out of the stock and strip the
meat from the bones. Put it into an ovenproof dish and set aside
while you make the sauce. Strain the stock.
Use the larger quantities of butter, flour and port wine if you
have no hare's blood to thicken the sauce. Melt the butter in a
saucepan, add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Gradually add 1-1/2
pints / 3 3/4 cups / 900ml of the hare stock, stirring all the time
until the sauce boils. Stir in the redcurrant jelly and port wine,
stirring until the jelly has melted in the hot sauce. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the hare meat in the
ovenproof dish. Cover the dish and reheat in the low oven until the
sauce is bubbling gently and does so for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, fry the forcemeat balls. Heat oil in a frying pan and
cook the balls until golden brown all over. Drain them on several
thicknesses of kitchen paper. They will keep warm for up to an hour.
If thickening the sauce with blood, pour a little of the hot sauce
into the bowl containing the blood. Mix well, and stir this into the
rest of the sauce and hare in the dish. If necessary, keep in a warm
oven until you are ready to serve, but take care not to let the sauce
boil again once the blood has been added. Serve the jugged hare with
the forcemeat balls.

KANGAROO ESCALOPES WITH SPINACH AND ANCHOVY BUTTER

600 gm kangaroo fillet, trimmed


2 bunch of english spinach
12 anchovy fillets
200 gm unsalted butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 olive oil

"Most people won't have ever tasted kangaroo. It is a sweet,


strong-tasting meat, it's texture and taste described as somwe- here
between venison and liver...To eat kangaroo, you have to like game;
you have to like offal and you have to be a red meat eater...It's a
very big, very strong-tasting meat."

These recipes are by Chris Manfield from The Paragon Cafe, Circular
Quay.

Slice the kangaroo fillet into thin slices, three per serve. Brush
with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with black pepper. Remove stalks
from spinach and wash leaves thoroughly. Plunge into rapidly boiling
water for 30 seconds. Strain and immerse immediately in iced water to
stop the cooking process and main- tain the green colour. When cold,
remove leaves from water and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Soften 100 g unsalted butter and blend in food processor with the
anchovies, lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt and pepper until
smooth. Scrape out onto a piece of foil and form into a sausage
shape. Refrigerate until firm Heat a large, heavy- base, cast-iron
fry pan or grill plate until hot. Toss in the oiled meat slices and
quickly sear on each side. Do not turn until the first side is
properly sealed--this does not take very long--and don't overcook.
Remove meat and rest in a warm place until all the meat slices are
cooked. In another pan, over medium heat, melt the remaining butter,
add the squeezed spinach and the salt and pepper, and stir until the
spinach is hot. Divide the spinach into four portions, spoon onto the
centre of the plate, top with three escalopes. Slice the anchovy
butter so it begins to melt over the hot meat. Serve immediately.

KANGAROO FILLETS W' SNAP PEAS, ILLAWARRA PLUM/CHILLI

250 gm peas, snap


4 kangaroo fillet steaks
1 oil, olive, virgin
1 peppercorns, ground.
1 1/2 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 tablespoon butter
1 salt
1 tablespoon water
1 illawarra plum/chilli sauce [#]
1 capsicum, red, strips of..., for ga; rnish.

String the snap peas and place them in icy water.

Simply oil and pepper the fillets and, if you have the time,
leave to marinate until ready to cook.

Experts have two schools of thought on the final cooking of


kangaroo fillet, but both initially sear the fillets in oil and
butter on each side in a very hot pan. You can either turn to a
medium heat and cook for about 3 minutes or place your pan in a
very hot oven for 4 to 5 minutes. Both methods result in a
delicious, medium-rare fillet.

Once cooked, rest the fillets and prepare the snap peas. Drain
peas. Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add snap peas, salt and a
tablespoon od water and stir fry for a couple of minutes until
peas are bright green.

Serve immediately with fillets and Illawarra Plum and Chilli

KANGAROO MEAT

1 kangaroo

Farming some native species may be one of the best ways to protect our
environment for future generations. Tim Flannery, biological
scientist at the Australian Museum, argues there are good
environmental, as well as nutritional, reasons for eating kangaroo.

Environmental arguments It costs the Australian environment nothing to


produce kangaroo meat. In comparison, seven kilograms of soil are
used to produce one kilogram of wheat. Animals are killed in the
production of even a vegetarian's food supply. Whole ecosystems are
lost when forests are cleared to plant crops and toxic pesticides for
maintaining crops also cause animal deaths. The kangaroo meat
industry is sustainable and does not threaten kangaroo populations.
Since the arrival of Europeans, kangaroos have thrived because of
increased grasslands, better water supply through dams and bores and
reduced dingo numbers, the kangaroo's main predator. Kangaroo numbers
are so great that some farmers consider the animals a pest.
Ironically, the industry that was established to control kangaroo
numbers has only succeeded in taking a sustainable yield, despite
killing up to 20% of the total population in certain years. The
kangaroo meat industry only harvests non endangered species. Farming
wild animals is less cruel than raising domesticated animals for
meat. Kangaroos do not suffer the stress of live trucking and
abattoirs. Instead they live freely in the wild until they are killed
instantly by professional shooters. Nutritional arguments Kangaroo
meat is lean, high in iron, contains a high amount of polyunsaturated
fat and is virtually free of any chemicals usually associated with
domestic stock. The risk of food poisoning is much lower than for
most other foods. Inspection of kangaroo meat is more rigorous than
that of beef and mutton. Kangaroo is the only export quality meat
available at the butcher shop because it must pass three inspections.

KANGAROO PEPPER STEAK WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

300 gm mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
400 ml can of coconut milk
2/3 cup dry white wine
3 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
3 dessert spoons beerenberg
1 bavarian prepared mustard
3 tablespoon chopped coriander
1 salt to taste

Sprinkle steaks with flour and pepper, and rub in, both sides. Heat
oil and quickly cook steaks until juices appear on the top surface,
(about 3 minutes per side). Remove steaks to a warm plate to rest.
Add butter to pan and saute onion and mushrooms for 4 minutes. Add
wine to pan and boil down until almost dry, stirring. Add coconut
milk and stir until it starts to thicken. Stir in mustard. Add salt
to taste. Pour mushroom sauce over steaks, and sprinkle with chopped
coriander. Serve with a side salad.

The original recipe used cream and parsley, but I found the coconut
milk and coriander better complements the kangaroo flavour. Our
local brand of mustard is excellent, but any good German mustard
would do.

KANGAROO RUMP STEAK

1 kangaroo rump not over 500


1 grams
1 good quality olive or corn
1 oil

Soak steak in oil for about 30 minutes. Heat up a heavy bottomed


stainless steel or cast iron pan. If the pan is not hot enough the
meat will boil, making it tough and giving it a strong, unpleasant
flavour. Place the meat into a hot frying pan without any additional
oil and sear for about one minute. NB: Kangaroo should be fried in a
well ventilated kitchen or outside because it creates a lot of smoke.

Remove the meat from the pan and place in a preheated oven (220 °C ),
for approximately six to seven minutes. Remove kangaroo from the oven
and allow it to stand in a warm place for the same amount of time
that it was cooked. NB: Kangaroo meat expands quickly when subjected
to lots of heat. It needs time to settle and return to shape. The
heat on the outside of the meat is enough to cook the inside of the
meat to perfection.

Kangaroo meat can also be cooked on a very hot barbecue. From: Karen

KANGAROO STEW (VENISON BOURGUIGNON)

2 1/2 lb venison, cut in stewing


1 pieces
1 slice bacon, 1/2-inch thick
12 small onions, cut up
1 salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoon flour
1 bottle red wine
1 pinch thyme
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs parsley and/or
1 parsley root
1 small clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon tomato paste

Choose good heavy meat, a very deep red and lightly marbled with fat.
Cut it, or have it cut, in cubes about 1 to 1 1/2-inches. If you can,
buy the bacon in one thick 1/2-inch slice and cut this into small
cubes. Take your nicest, heavi- est pot; put the bacon in it and let
it brown and render some of its fats until just golden all over.
Remove with a slotted spoon and add the onions. Brown them in the
bacon fat. Remove them and let them wait with the bacon while you
brown the venison.

Brown the meat thoroughly for its juice gives stews their color and
flavor. Toss the meat with a spoon or fork over high heat, seasoning
it well with salt and pepper. Let the juices get quite dark at the
bottom of the pot as you do this. Return the onions and bacon to the
pot and sprinkle the flour over all. Mix with a spoon so the flour
can absorb some of the fat. Give it a chance to brown slightly, then
pour in enough wine to barely cover the meat. Add a good pinch of
thyme, the bay leaf, the parsley and parsley root and the crushed
garlic.

Cover the pot and simmer gently for about 1 1/2 hours. Keep the fire
very low and the pot well covered. Clean the mushrooms, fresh ones if
possible and cut off the bottom of the stems. Don't peel them, it
wastes the mushrooms. Slice them and add them to the stew. Their
fragrance and taste will mix with the sauce. Stir in a tablespoonful
of tomato paste. (The purpose of the tomato paste in this case is
just to thicken slightly and give a rich color to the sauce; so don't
use too much. It should add a little body to the flavor but no tomato
taste.) Simmer for another half hour or so after you have added the
mushrooms and tomato paste. Taste and correct the season- ing, if
necessary.

Note: This is one of those wonderful dishes which tastes even better
reheated. So you can make it the day before.

KARL'S CARIBOU SWISS STEAK

4 lb caribou steak
2/3 cup flour
1 vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon savory
1 1/2 onions, sliced
1 green pepper sliced
1/2 rib celery with leaves -
1 chopped
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup broth

Pound into the steak as much of the flour as possible. Use a wooden
meat mallet. It not only draws and absorbs meat flavor but thickens
the gravy to the right consistency.

Heat oil, and brown the floured meat on both sides. Do this over a
steady medium heat but brown it well. (It may take 2O-30 minutes to
get properly done). Dust the cayenne pepper and the herbs over the
meat. Scatter sliced onion, pepper slices, and diced celery around
the meat. Add garlic, salt and pepper, and carefully pour the red
wine and broth on, around, and under the steak. Cover closely and
simmer over low heat (225-250 degrees if using an electric skillet)
for about 2 hours or until meat tests tender with a fork.

Baste the meat as often as convenient, turning the steak two or three
times in the process and scraping up and stirring in the browned
flour under the meat in process. Add liquid (hot water or a mix of
hot broth and wine) if need be so the gravy ends up with the right
consistency.

KEN'S VENISON STEAKS

1 venison (deer meat) steaks


1 salt and pepper,(or garlic
1 salt and onion salt)
1 egg
1 crushed saltine cracker
1 crumbs
1 oil

If your deer meat has not been packaged for properly for freezing,
you will find that the outer edges of the meat is brown or dark on
the outside after it had been defrosted. Trim all that stuff off. Cut
the meat into steak size slices. Pound with meat hammer on both
sides. Season with salt and pepper,(or you can use garlic salt and
onion salt. Dip in beaten egg and roll in crushed saltine cracker
crumbs. Fry in hot oil till golden brown. Serve with fried potatoes
and a green salad with a zesty Italian dressing. A good salsa is
great on the deer steaks. You will love them, and your guests will
never believe they're eating deer meat. From: Gloryauto@bigvalley.Net

tablespoon over meat Mix meat Continue until out of the dry
ingredients Mix all liquid ingredients and sprinkle across meat.
Knead well. Roll into 4 or 5 rolls and cover.

Place in refrigerator all night. This must be done for the meat to
cure. All night is the shortest time I recommend. Two days does have
a better flavor. I have left it in the refrigerator for a week
before cooking.

Smoke between 150 and 200 degrees for two hours. Turning over at the
hour mark. After two hours up the temperature to 325 degrees for an
hour, turning over at the 30 minute mark. Should be about done then.

KENTUCKY BISON PASTRAMI

1 gallon water
11/2 cups kosher salt
1 cup sugar
11/2 ounces (about 1/3 pink (curing) salt
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
5 cloves garlic, minced
15 pound bison brisket
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon cracked coriander seeds

Pastrami is usually made from beef brisket, which can be substituted in


this recipe. Bison brisket, like most bison cuts, is leaner than beef.
Bison is now available at Kentucky Bison store (see listing at right).

Pink salt is a curing agent, also called curing salt. It is sold in 1-pound
bags at Creation Gardens (see listing at right).

Specialty gourmet pink sea salt from Hawaii, or from mines in the
Himalayas, is not the same product.
Combine all the ingredients except brisket, pepper and coriander in a pot.
Bring to a boil to dissolve sugar. Cool completely. Add the brisket to the
brine, making sure it is covered by the brine, and let marinate for three
days (best curing temperature is 50 degrees; colder temperatures may slow
curing, warmer temperatures may grow on the top, which is not unsafe). Turn
the meat occasionally.

After three days, remove the bison from the brine, rinse and pat dry.

Coat with the cracked pepper and coriander, place in a smoker and smoke at
200 degrees to an internal temperature of 150 degrees.

To finish: Heat oven to 250 degrees. In a roasting pan, bring 1 inch of


water to a simmer. Place the brisket on a rack over the water, and roast
covered in the oven for 3 hours or until fork tender.

KRUPSKI'S SAMP PORRIDGE

1 lb beans (any type available)


1 lb yellow or white samp (hulled
1 corn, hominy)
1 preserved meat, such as
1 corned beef or salt pork

Indians and colonial settlers had hundreds of corn dishes, but before
the late 1800s, no one wrote down recipes. This samp porridge, from
food historian Alice Ross, is a version of the Eastern Woodlands
Indians' nausamp.

Peeled and cut root vegetables to taste, such as potato, carrots,


onion, parsley Salt and pepper to taste 1. Soak beans in water
overnight.2. In the morning, put samp into a large kettle with enough
water to cover by three inches. Bring to a boil, then simmer for
several hours, until tender; add water and stir from time to time.3.
In another pot, cook soaked beans in water for 45 minutes, or until
skins slip easily.4. One hour before serving, add prepared vegetables
to samp and continue cooking until tender. Add beans. Correct flavor.
Serve. Note: This dish improves with age, and is better after two to

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 bay leaf; crumbled
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 salt
1 freshly ground pepper
4 fresh tomatoes; chopped -or- tomato sauce
3 allspice berries

After washing the rabbit or hare thoroughly and cutting into serving
pieces, place in a large glass or earthenware bowl. Make a marinade
by combining the celery, onions, carrots, herbs, peppercorns, wine,
and vinegar and pouring over the meat. Cover and refrigerate for a
day or two, turning the pieces over occasionally.

On serving day, drain, reserving the marinade, and wipe dry. Transfer
the marinade to a casserole and simmer for 15 minutes. While the
marinade is cooking, heat the butter in a large frying pan, and when
very hot sear the meat over high heat until it is reddened in color
without browning. Remove from the heat, and with a spatula lift the
rabbit or hare pieces into the simmering marinade, then pour in the
remaining butter. Taste for seasoning, then add the salt and pepper,
tomatoes, and allspice. Weight the meat with a small plate to keep it
under the sauce, then bake it in a very slow oven (225 F) for 2-1/2
hours, or until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened.

LAMB CHILI WITH MASA HARINA DUMPLINGS

By: Gourmet Menus February 2006

for chili
10 pcs dried mild new mexico chiles (2 1/2; to 3 oz)
5 cups water
3 1/4 lb boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed and; cut into 1 1/2-inch piec
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
1 pc large onion, chopped (2 cups)
4 pcs garlic cloves, minced
2 pcs turkish bay leaves or 1 california
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
3 tablespoons finely chopped canned chipotle chil; es in adobo
for dumplings
3/4 cup masa harina (corn tortilla mix)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chilled lard or unsalted butter, cu; t into small pieces
3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

No one is going to ask 'Where's the beef?' when confronted with this chili.
Slowly cooking the meat with lard, peppers, and spices creates a
wonderfully complex sauce that's topped off with tender corn-flavored
dumplings.
Make chili:
Simmer dried chiles in 2 cups water, covered, in a 2-quart heavy saucepan
until very soft, about 20 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid, then
drain in a colander. Stem chiles (do not remove seeds), then purée in a
blender with reserved cooking liquid until smooth (use caution when
blending hot liquids). Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
Reserve purée.

Pat lamb dry, then sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2
tablespoons lard in a 6-quart wide heavy pot or a 3-inch-deep
straight-sided skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking,
then brown lamb in 4 batches (without crowding), turning occasionally,
about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a bowl.

Add remaining tablespoon lard to pot, then cook onion, garlic, bay leaves,
and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over moderate heat, stirring occasionally,
until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cumin and oregano and cook, stirring
frequently, 1 minute. Stir in reserved chile purée and chipotles and
simmer, stirring frequently and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pot,
5 minutes. Add lamb along with any juices accumulated in bowl and remaining
3 cups water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until
lamb is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

Make dumplings:
Page 774

Stir together masa harina, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a
bowl. Blend in lard pieces with a pastry blender or your fingertips until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until dough is
moistened (do not overmix).

Skim fat off chili and discard bay leaves, then drop 8 or 9 heaping
tablespoons of dough onto simmering chili, about 2 inches apart. Reduce
heat to low and gently simmer, covered, until tops of dumplings are dry to
the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Cooks' note:
Chili is best when made at least 1 day ahead, without dumplings and
cilantro, and can be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered,
then chilled, covered. Discard fat from surface and reheat stew before
adding dumplings and sprinkling with cilantro.

LAMB-STUFFED GREEN CHILES WITH FRESH TOMATO PUREE

By: Lois Ellen Frank

12 firm green new mexico mild or anaheim ch; iles


1 tablespoon cooking oil
2/3 cup finely chopped wild onions or yello; w onions
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1 cup adobe bread crumbs *see note
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspo; on dried
fresh tomato puree:
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 pounds tomatoes, coarsely chopped
sour cream, garnish (optional)

*Note: Adobe Bread is a yeast bread, made in the outdoor ovens called
hornos, in the Southwest. It is sold on the Plaza by Native American
vendors in Santa Fe, New Mexico however, if this bread is not
available to you, any yeast non-sour dough bread can be used and made
into the bread crumbs for this recipe.

To make the stuffed chiles, roast, peel and seed the chiles, keeping
them whole for stuffing. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet
over medium heat and saute the onions about 4 minutes, until
translucent. Add the ground lamb and brown 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally to prevent burning. Drain off the excess fat and add the
bread crumbs, tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Decrease the
heat and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Slice the chiles lengthwise, spread them open on a work surface and
generously stuff each chile with the lamb mixture. Place the stuffed
chiles on an oiled baking pan with the open side down and set aside.

To make the puree, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook
another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until
the excess liquid evaporates. The sauce will reduce and thicken. At
this point you can pour the sauce through a fine sieve to remove the
skins or you can serve the sauce as it is. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the stuffed chiles in the
baking dish in the oven and heat until hot, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve immediately with the tomato puree. Garnish with sour cream, if
desired.

LBJ PEDERNALES RIVER CHILI

4 lb venison, bite size chili grind fin; e *or*


1 chuck, well trimmed, ground
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 cup hot water
6 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 cup canned whole tomato
2 dash liquid hot pepper sauce
1 salt to taste

Place meat, onion and garlic in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven.
Cook until light colored. Add oregano, cumin, water, chili powder,
tomatoes, hot pepper sauce (more or less to taste), and salt. Bring
to a boil, lowering heat, and simmer for one hour. Skim off fat
during cooking. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Even more fat can be removed if chili
is stored in refrigerator, allowing fat to rise to the top and
solidify, when it can be easily removed. LBJ preferred venison in his
chili, and so did his doctor, because it is so lean and fat-free.
Ground beef heart is leaner still, and has a rich beef flavor with
the added value of high Vit B content. This recipe was tailored to
President Johnson after his first heart attack. Not only is it
relatively fat-free, it calls for lean venison, when available.The
local pronunciation of Pedernales is Purd-in-alice, and in this case
local extends at least from Texas to Washington,D.C., to New York
City. FROM: The Great American Chili Cookbook

LEMON RISOTTO WITH DUCK BREAST

1 whole duck breast (about 3/4


1 pound)
1 teaspoon garlic -- finely chopped
1 salt and pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 ***risotto***
2/3 cup imported risotto rice such
1 as arborio
3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic -- finely chopped
2 tablespoon fresh sage leaves --
1 sliced*
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley --
1 chopped
2 teaspoon lemon peel -- minced
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 medium zucchini, unpeeled -- cut
1 into 3/4 dice
2 teaspoon lemon juice

Prepare the duck. Place a sheet of aluminum foil over the broiler
pan, then heat oven to broil. Cut the duck breast in half
lengthwise; pat the 1 pieces dry with paper towels and score each by
cutting a diamond pattern lightly into the skin and fat. Transfer to
a small dish or bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon
pepper, lemon juice and balsamic; stirring constantly with a small
whisk or fork, slowly pour in the olive oil. Pour this mixture over
the duck breast 1 pieces, making sure it coats all surfaces. Set
aside.

Prepare the risotto. Heat the broth in a saucepan. Do not let it


boil. Melt butter with oil in a heavy bottom he onion and cook,
stirring occasionally, until it is soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the
garlic, 1 tablespoon each sage and parsley, the minced lemon peel and
the rice. Stir until the grains are coated with oil, then add the red
wine. Bring to a boil and reduce, stirring occasionally, until the
wine is almost gone.

Add 1/2 cup broth. Stir almost constantly with a wooden spoon and
keep the broth at a gentle simmer. Add more broth as the liquid is
absorbed, about 1/3 cup at a time. The rice should not be submerged
in broth, nor should the pan become dry. It will take 18 to 20
minutes to cook the rice to the al dente stage (still slightly firm
in the center).

Meanwhile, place the diced zucchini in a bowl and toss with the lemon
Page 789

juice. Set aside.

After risotto has cooked for 8 minutes, place the duck breasts under
the broiler, skin side up. Cook for 4 minutes, turn them over and
cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until just medium-rare.
Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil.

Spread the zucchini on the foil-lined broiler pan and broil until
soft, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. (As an alternative, the
zucchini may be steamed ahead and simply added to the risotto without
reheating.)

As the risotto approaches al dente, after about 18 minutes, stir in


the zucchini and remaining sage and parsley. Turn off the heat.

Slice duck breast half crosswise into seven or eight slices. Mound
risotto in the center of two warmed soup or dinner plates and place
duck 1 slices against the sides of the risotto.

To prepare sage, cut away stems, then roll leaves tightly, cigarette
fashion, and cut crosswise into narrow strips.

MAD DOG CHILE

1 step one
4 lb venison steak, well trimmed
1 and cut into; 1/4
1 inch dice
1 grease, rendered from salt
1 pork
1 step two
1/2 lb jimmy dean sausage
1 regular flavor
1/2 lb ground sirloin
1 step three
2 large onions; diced
2 cup green bell peppers; diced
2 large cloves garlic; minced
2 tablespoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 step four
16 oz canned mexican tomato sauce
1 faraon brand, not
1 hot variety
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 step five
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves; chopped
2 fresh jalapeno chiles; seeded and minced
1/2 cup coors beer

In a large skillet heat the grease from the salt pork and saute the
diced flank steak in small batches until all the liquid is gone and
the meat is lightly browned. As you brown it transfer it to a large
pot with a tight fitting lid and set aside. Continue until all the
flank steak is browned. In another pot cook the ground sirloin and
sausage and drain off any excess grease. Add the onion, bell pepper,
garlic, cumin seed and ground cumin. Cook the mixture over moderate
heat stirring constantly for approximately 5 to 10 minutes or until
the onion is softened. Add the tomato sauce, salt, chile powder,
cayenne pepper and the crushed red pepper and cook over moderate heat
for about 5 to 10 minutes while stirring. Add the sausage mixture,
the cilantro, the jalapenos and the beer to the pot with the flank
steak and cook covered over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 to
1 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender. This chile is meant to
be thick but if it starts to dry out too much while cooking it can be
moistened with a little more beer or a small amount of chicken broth.
Serve with grated jack cheese, minced onions, fresh lime slices or
minced hot chiles as condiments. Makes about 8 servings.

MAKING JERKY

1 jerky

Jerky can be made from lean beef or venison cut in long strips and
dipped in boiling brine a few seconds, then hung up to dry on the
kitchen rafters.

CONTROLLING FLIES

Leaves taken from strong-growing squash, pumpkin or cucumber vines are


effective fly repellents for cattle. The crushed leaves are rubbed on
their backs and necks.

ACORN SQUASH

Acorn squash, along with other winter squashes, are practical


vegetables. Americans inherited them from the Indians. Not only do
they store well through most of the winter (usually in a warm attic),
but they can also be sliced thin, threaded on a string, and dried to
be preserved indefinitely. And don't throw away the seeds! They are
as good as meat in protein and fat. Try them dried and salted or
baked right in the half shell.

HOMEMADE "PLASTIC"

The large horns of cows and steers have many uses besides the well
known powder horn. When horns are soaked in hot water for a time they
Page 807

become soft and flexible, much like fingernails do when they are kept
in dishwater. These flexible horns can be cut and flattened out to
make many translucent plastic-like objects. Some of the most common
uses for horn were for making combs, lantern (from "lant- horn")
"glass", and horn cups.

STARTING SEEDS

Seeds started in eggshells cut down on the usual transplant shock


because the seedlings can be planted eggshell and all in the spring.

MALLARD IN GRAND MARNIER SAUCE

2 mallard ducks
1 flour for coating
1 fine sea salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 sunflower oil for frying
1 small orange
6 large oranges
1/2 cup grand marnier
2 teaspoon brown sugar

This is a simple recipe for an older bird which needs to be


casseroled. Preheat the oven to 180-C/350-F/Mark 4.

Season the cavities with salt and pepper and roll the birds in
flour. Brown them all over in heated oil. Cut the small orange in
half and put a half in each bird. Tuck in the tail ends, and
arrange in a medium casserole. Pour over the juice of four of the
oranges and season well with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for
1 1/2-2 hours, basting frequently with the juice.

Meanwhile, pare the rind from the two remaining oranges and cut it
into julienne strips . Blanch in boiling water and drain well .
Peel all the white pith from the two oranges and divide them into
skinned segments; reserve. Place the julienne strips of orange
rind, Grand Marnier and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil
quickly. Simmer for a few seconds.

When the birds are cooked, remove them from the casserole and keep
hot. Add the juices from the casserole to the Grand Marnier sauce,
bring back to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Warm the orange
segments in a non-stick pan.

Discard the halves of orange from the duck cavities. Cut the ducks
in halves, place them on a hot serving plate and garnish with the
warmed orange segments. Serve the sauce separately.

MAPLE SYRUP MARINADED BACON & BACKSTRAP

1 backstraps
1 bacon
1 maple syrup
1 toothpicks

Remove all of the silverskin (naturally). Cut thin strip of


backstrap WITH the grain approx 1/2 inch thick. Lay the strips out
and cover with a strip of bacon (use as many strips of bacon as it
takes to cover the backstrap strip). Roll the backstrap up with the
bacon inside and use toothpicks to secure the backstrap/bacon
pinwheels.

Pour the maple syrup into a flat bowl and lay pinwheels in the syrup.
Turn to insure that each side is soaked and let sit at least ten
minutes. Longer is fine.

Lay the pinwheels soaked in syrup on the grill over a low heat and
cover. Check on them closely and you will have to determine when to
turn them. They cook fairly quickly even over a low heat.

Serve with rice or whatever. They are very presentable and taste
GREAT! My family loves to eat deer but the kids and wife all agree
that this is their favorite.

I have never tried variations on this recipe (ie cook in the oven,
table syrup instead of maple, etc). I guess that variations would
work, but why ruin a sure thing?

MAPLE VINEGAR RACKS OF VENISON

1 cup maple syrup


1 cup cider vinegar
6 juniper berries, or dried
1 spicebush berries or
1 all-spice berries, crushed
1/2 lb thinly sliced bacon
2 tablespoon corn oil
2 racks of venison or lamb

Use 2 racks of venison or lamb (about two pounds each) with ribs left
long and "Frenched," with backbone cracked or removed for easy
carving salt and pepper to taste

In a large shallow bowl, combine syrup, vinegar and crushed berries.


Add venison rack, cover and narinate, refrigerated, overnight. Turn
racks two or three times while marinating. Remove venison from
marinade and rub with oil. Reserve marinade for basting. Sprinkle
venison lightly with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Stand racks in a shallow, oiled roasting pan just large enought to
hold them and interlace the ribs to form a standing roast. Drape
bacon strips ofer the outside of the raost. If desired, cover the
ends of bones with aluminum foil to keep them from burning. Roast for
10 minutes per pound for rare, 12 to 13 mintures per pound for
medium. Baste two to three times with marinade during roasting.
Remove roast from oven and allow to stand, loosely covered, for 15
minutews before carving. To carve, cut btween the first two chops and
then alternate and remove the one opposite it. If carved in this
manner the roast will continue to stand as you carve it. Serve with
Cranberry Maple Sauce and Wild Rice Johnny Cakes.

MARCELLE BIENVENU'S GRILLED DUCK BREASTS

4 large wild or domestic duck breasts, deb; oned


2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 salt, freshly ground black pepper,; and cayenne to taste
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 tablespoon butter
1 zest from one small orange

The grilled duck breasts were inspired by a couple of Rock's hunting


buddies who are always bragging about grilling deboned duck breasts at
their camp. Rock found a similar recipe in one of my wild game books
that suggested the addition of an orange sauce to serve with the
breasts.

Again, wild duck breasts are preferred, but domestic duck (inquire at
your supermarket for farm-raised moulard duck breasts or other top
quality duck) can be used as well. My duck-hunter friends like to
grill wild duck to rare to medium-rare (the taste is marvelous), but
you can cook them a little longer if you can't stand the sight of
blood.

Prepare the grill.

Rinse the duck breasts in cool water and pat dry. Rub the breasts
with the oil, then season with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Set
aside.

Combine the orange juice and stock in a saucepan over medium-high


heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it reduces by
half. Add the vinegar and cook for three minutes. Add the butter, a
tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly. Season with salt, black
pepper and cayenne. Add the orange zest. Remove from the heat, cover
and keep warm.

When the charcoal is gray and hot, lay the breasts on the grill.
Grill for about seven minutes (time will vary depending on the size
and thickness of the breasts as well as the type of breasts you are
using), then turn and grill for seven to eight minutes for rare to
medium-rare. Cook longer if desired.

Transfer the breasts to a cutting board and slice thinly on the bias.
To serve, put the breasts on dinner plates and spoon the sauce over
them. Makes four servings.

MARINADE FOR VENISON (HL)

1 bottle
1 cup wine vinegar
12 peppercorns
1 teaspoon salt
18 whole cloves
2 cup onion slices
2 celery stalks with leaves --
1 chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 sticks cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon powdered thyme
4 bay leaves -- (4 to 5)
1 pinch sage
1 venison roast
1 good red wine
1 teaspoon ground

Pour the bottle of red wine and wine vinegar into a nonmetallic
container. Bruise the peppercorns, or add a good teaspoon of ground
black pepper if whole corns aren't available. Then add the following:
salt, cloves, onion slices, 2 handfuls of chopped celery stalks and
leaves, garlic cloves, sticks of cinnamon, bay leaves and a pinch of
sage. Let the meat marinate in this in a cool place. Pat the meat dry
after taking it from the marinade. Strain the marinade and use some
of the liquid in basting, or where a stew or pot roast requires
moisture. This is a rather mild marinade and although such a marinade
does modify the flavor of venison, it does not alter it beyond the
point of recognition, as might be expected from the list of
ingredients.

MEAT PIES MODERN WAY

Ground meat can of jumbo biscuits salt Lightly cook the ground meat,
browning it in a skillet until it is only partially cooked. Roll biscuit
out into a circle. Place meat on one half of circle. Flip edges over and
pinch them together. Put on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for about
ten to fifteen minutes, just until the crust of the biscuit is done. Some
folks add different things to the pies these days, such as bell pepper or
onion but I like mine the old way, plain.

MEATLESS SPANISH CHORIZO SAUSAGES WITH SPICEBERRIES

5 cloves garlic, peeled


6 common spicebush berries
2 1/2 cup cooked lima beans
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoon hot paprika
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly ground coriander
1 seeds
1 tablespoon bragg's liquid aminos,
1 tamari soy sauce, or
1 vege-sal, or
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoon dried oregano, finely

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 teaspoon peppercorns)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seeds
2 cup fresh cornbread bread crumbs
1 or other bread crumbs

Because common spicebush berries taste like allspice, they make a


perfect seasoning for these meatless Spanish sausage patties, also
called chorizos.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grind the garlic and spicebush
berries together in a food processor or chop them fine by hand. Add
the remaining ingredients, except the bread crumbs, and process until
the beans are mashed, or mash the ingredients together in a large
bowl with a potato masher or fork. Mix in the bread crumbs. Shape the
mixture into patties and bake the patties on an oiled cookie sheet
for 30 minutes, or cook them in an oiled frying pan with a raised
grill until the patties are lightly brown, about 10 minutes on each
side. Serves 6 to 8 From: Wildman Steve Brill <wildmansteve

MEDALLIONS OF VENISON WITH BRAMBLE JELLY OR BLACKBERRIES

2 medallions of venison per


1 person -- (up to 3)
1 unsmoked streaky bacon --
1 cut into strips
1 seasoned flour
1 bramble jelly or
1 blackberries
1 red wine
1 sugar
1 meat stock
1 sour cream
1 salt
1 black pepper -- freshly
1 ground

Fry enough bacon very gently to extract enough fat to fry the
medallions. Remove the bacon. Put enough well-seasoned flour into a
plastic bag and toss the venison in it: remove and lay on some
greaseproof paper. Heat the bacon fat and fry the meat on a medium
heat for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently. Put them in a warmed dish
with a teaspoon of jelly on each medallion and keep warm while you
make the sauce.

If you are using blackberries instead of jelly, cook them lightly in a


little red wine and sugar to taste. Spoon over the medallions as for
the jelly.

Depending on how much you are cooking, add enough of the stock to the
pan. Boil briskly, stirring all the juices together. When it starts
to look syrupy, mix in enough sour cream to make a rich sauce. Adjust
the seasoning. Pour over the venison.

Serve with tiny Brussels sprouts and egg noodles with chestnuts if
handy. Apple sauce can also be added as a side dish.

MEDALLIONS OF VENISON WITH PORT AND CRANBERRIES

1 cup chicken stock or canned


1 low-salt broth
1 cup beef stock or canned beef
1 broth
1/2 cup ruby port
1/3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
3 tablespoon butter
8 venison medallions

Chef Kenny, of the Crookedwood House, in Mullingar, Ireland, prepares


this entree in the winter with fresh cranberries. We call for canned
cranberry sauce, which is available year-round. The chef likes sauted
currants as a garnish, and braised cabbage and baked potatoes as side
dishes.

Combine chicken and beef stocks in heavy small saucepan. Boil until
liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Add Port and boil until
liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 15 minutes. Whisk in cranberry
sauce and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
Whisk in 1 tablespoon butter. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Set
aside. Sprinkle venison with salt and pepper. Melt remaining 2
tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Working
in batches, add venison to skillet and cook to desired doneness,
about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Divide sauce among 4
plates. Place 2 venison medallions atop sauce on each plate.

MELANA'S DOLMAS

1 wild grape leaves


1 hamburger
1 saffron rice
1 shaggy mane mushrooms
1 (finely diced)
1 medium onion (diced)
1 egg
1/2 handful of oatmeal
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 fresh parsley (minced)
1 fresh crushed pepper
1 salt
1 wild greens, nettle,
1 dandelion
1 oil
1 wine and rosemary sauce

Made my own with the wild grape leaves I had harvested and stored the
spring before. As usual I don't measure anything but I will give you a
rough idea what I did in case you want to try this yourself
sometime...and my advice is to try these if you never have....they
are fantastic.

I took hamburger, saffron rice I had made the day before, Shaggy mane
mushrooms (finely diced), one medium onion (diced), one egg and a
half a handful of oatmeal to make the conglomeration hold together
easier, a couple of cloves of garlic (minced), fresh parsley
(minced), fresh crushed pepper and a bit of salt. (A person could
easily add wild greens, nettle, dandelion or the likes to this
recipe.) This all took on the consistency of a meatloaf and I formed
little 2 inch long by 3/4 of an inch in diameter cylinders that I
wrapped in grape leaves like an egg-roll. No need to poke the mess
with a toothpick to hold it together since it all held together quit
well. I laid these in a dish that was lightly coated with oil and
baked them at 350F for about a half hour. I served them with
additional saffron rice and a light wine and rosemary sauce. Yum!

Harvesting and preserving wild grape leaves is very easy. You want to
select well formed but immature leaves that are free of bug damage and
pesticides. I licked onto a mass of leaves that where bigger than
both my hands together and still had the pale green I associate with
immature leaves. I could of made Dolmas the size of cabbage rolls if
I had taken a mind to. Anyway...bring your collected leaves home,
blanch them for 30 seconds or so in boiling water and lay them out
flat with a sprinkle of salt on each leaf. Layer them as such and
store them in the freezer in a container or zip-lock bag. Mine were
over 9 months old and still in perfect shape. Do rinse the salt from
the leaves before using them in your recipe.

MESCALERO GREEN CHILE STEW

3 cups peeled, diced idaho potatoes


2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup onions, diced
1 cup chopped green chiles
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

This recipe appeared on bobby Flay's BBQ this evening when he


visited the Mescalero Apaches. You can also find an Apache Fry Bread
recipe on www.foodtv.com. The other difference that I noticed was
that the chiles were cooking before the other ingredients were
added. The following is the recipe that appears to www.foodtv.com,
and the recipe is attributed to Tammy Torres.

However, the woman shown in the episode used pork. I came back into
the room just after Bobby Flay introduced the woman who was doing
the cooking, so I don't know for sure if it was the same woman.

Put diced potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water until the
potatoes are just covered. Bring the potatoes to a boil over high
heat, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the potatoes for 20
minutes then add in the ground beef, onions, and green chiles. Let
the stew continue to cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the
beef is cooked all the way through, another 10 to 20 minutes. Season
the stew with garlic salt and serve warm.

MESCALERO GREEN CHILE STEW

3 cups peeled, diced idaho potatoes


2 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup onions, diced
1 cup chopped green chiles
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

I grew up eating this dish, but my dad's side of the family added about a
teaspoon of New Mexico red chile powder. It's delicious. My mom varied
the recipe by adding a can of chicken or beef broth to the potatoe water to
enhance the flavor. It's great served over fresh cooked pinto beans.

MICHAEL'S VENSION MEDALLIONS WITH GREEN PEPPERCORNS

1 1/2 lb venison leg meat or filet


1 cut into 3 oz. medallions
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon whole butter
3 tablespoon chopped shallots
2 tablespoon rinsed green peppercorns
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup game or beef stock
1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1 salt & fresh ground pepper

The venison should be cut into medallions of 3 to 4 ounces, 1/2 in.


thick and 3 in.es across. Have all ingredients at the ready as this
is a very quickly cooked saute method and the venison will over cook
very quickly.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large heavy skillet over medium
heat until hot and foaming. Season the medallions with salt and
pepper, and lay them in a single layer in the pan. Depending on the
size of your skillet, you may need to do this in 2 batches. Char or
sear quickly on each side for medium-rare.

Place the cooked venison on a warm platter and keep it warm while you
make the pan sauce. Add the chopped shallots to the hot pan and saute
for 2 minutes. Add half the green peppercorns and smash them quickly
with the back of a spoon while sauteing with the shallots. Carefully
add the brandy and de-glaze the pan. Observe caution when adding
brandy to a hot pan and do this away from open flames to avoid
flaming the brandy dangerously. Cook the brandy over low heat for 1
minute before adding the wine. Reduce the wine by half, add the
stock, bring quickly to the boil and then swsirl in the cream for 1
minute. Add the medallions back to the finished sauce along with the
remaining psppercorns and re-heat for 1 minute. Serve immediately.

MICROWAVE BAMBI ITALIANO

1 venison roast
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 or 4 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano

Stay with me on this one folks. It is basically an italian pot


roast, done in a microwave oven, with venison. Unlike most of my
recipes, this one takes some time. But since it is a crockpot kind
of operation, you can go do something else while it's cooking.

The first step is to thaw the roast. If your butcher is like mine,
he will usually leave you with a couple of odd shaped roasts. These
are good prospects for Bambi Italiano. Let them thaw completely and
trim off as much fat as you can.

Put the roast in a snug-fitting microwave safe casserole or microwave


slow cooker. Cover it with water and toss in the seasonings.

Cover the casserole (with wax paper or plastic wrap, if there is no


lid) and nuke for 8 to 12 minutes, to get it heated thru and boiling
nicely. Then turn the power down to defrost or medium and let the
microwave run 25 or 30 minutes. You can go clean guns lor something
for a hour. After the microwave turns itself off, just let the Bambi
Italiano coast for a while.

After an hour, take the roast out of the casserole. The broth now
has most of the fat in it; you can discard the broth, or as I do, let
it cool and put it on the dog's dinner.

Rinse out the casserole, put the roast back into it, and cover the
roast with spagetti sauce. I use Prego extra- chunky for this
recipe. It may take 1 or 2 jars of sauce to cover the roast,
depending on how well the roast fills the casserole. I usually add
another bay leaf and a little more oregano at this stage.

Then re-cover the casserole, put it back in the microwave and nuke it
for another 8 or 10 minutes at high and 15 to 20 minutes at defrost
or medium.

Slice the roast; serve the meat and sauce over spagetti or egg
noodles, witha nice bottle of Chianti.

This recipe re-heats well.

MILLERS IN ONION SAUCE "LOBSCOUSE AND SPOTTED DOG"

6 prime millers, about 6 oz.


1 after skinning and cleaning
1 flour for dredging
1 salt and pepper
4 to 5 tbs. bacon fat
1 large onion, peeled and thinly
1 sliced
1 1/4 cup stock (beef)

> A tie-in with nautical history.


> Patrick O'Brian's series of Captain Aubrey books mentions that the

Yes indeed. I am a "listwain" in good standing (32:44:58 N 117:06:33


W). The rats (eaten mostly by starving midshipmen) were indeed called
"millers". The cookbook is by Anne Chotzinoff Grossman and Lisa
Grossman Thomas and is titled "Lobscouse & Spotted Dog". The recipes
are based on foods mentioned in the POB Novels and are authentic to
the Royal Navy at the beginning of the 1800s.

Here is the recipe for ship rats from the book (I have done some
rearranging for those not studying P. O'Brian to make it shorter)

Expect about 50 percent "yield" from a miller. Ours weighted about 12


oz. each on the hoof.

Cut the millers into serving pieces. Season the flour with salt and
pepper. Dredge the millers in the flour and set aside.

Heat 2 tbs. of the bacon fat in a large, heavy pan over medium heat.
Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until limp and golden.
Remove the onion and set aside.

In the same pan, brown the millers on all sides, a few pieces at a
time, adding more bacon fat as needed. Set the millers aside.

Deglaze the pan with the stock. Return the millers and onions to the
pan, add salt and pepper to taste, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce
heat, and simmer 20 minutes.

Serves 6 hungry midshipmen.

MINNESOTA WILD RICE-STUFFED CHICKEN

16 -ounce package long grain and wild rice mi; x


2 medium ooking apples (such as granny smith; or jonathan), cored and
8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)
1 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 tsp pepper
15 - to 6-pound whole roasting chicken
2-3 tbs apple jelly, melted
1 medium apple, cut into wedges (optional)

Team up this apple-glazed bird with a chicory and red onion salad dressed
with a blue cheese vinaigrette.

1 For stuffing, cook rice according to package directions, except add


apples, mushrooms, carrot, onion, and pepper to rice before cooking.
2 Meanwhile, rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Spoon some of the
stuffing loosely into the neck cavity. Pull the neck skin to the back and
fasten with a small skewer. Lightly spoon the remaining stuffing into body
cavity. Tuck drumsticks under the band of skin that crosses the tail. If
there is no band, tie drumsticks to tail. Twist the wing tips under the
bird.
3 Place stuffed chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting
pan. Insert meat thermometer into the center of one of the thigh muscles.
The bulb should not touch the bone. Roast, uncovered, in a 325 degree F.
oven for 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat thermometer registers 180
degrees F. to 185 degrees F. At this time, chicken is no longer pink and
the drumsticks move easily in their sockets. When the bird is two-thirds
done, cut the band of skin or string between the drumsticks so the thighs
will cook evenly. Brush chicken with melted jelly once or twice during the
last 10 minutes of roasting.
4 Remove chicken from oven and cover it with foil. Let stand for 10 to 20
minutes before carving. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon
the stuffing around the chicken. Garnish with apple wedges, if desired.

MISC MOLLUSKS

1 limpets
1 moon snails
1 oyster drills
1 chitons
1 horse clams
1 cockles
1 geoduc

I place them pointy end down on a bed of rock salt, give them a hit of
pepper, a dab of butter and run them under the broiler for just a few
minutes.

One of the best up here is moon snails. These are burrowing snails
that dig thru the sand in search of clams. The shells are the size of
a softball. Cut away the large foot, slice it thin and pound it well.
Fried quickly it tastes just like abalone.

I also do the same with oyster drills, but it takes a lot of them to
make a meal.

Another tasty one is chitons, which look like giant legless sowbugs.
The foot actually improves in flavor by being frozen.

In Washington we have two types of steamer clams, the horse clam is


large and makes great chowder.

Cockles are easy to collect as they lie just below the surface. They
tend to be a bit chewy, but have the best flavor.

Our biggest clam; the geoduc, can weigh up to 15 pounds, but


you'll dig up to six feet down for them.

Two types of oysters; the pacific and the world famous Quilicine. Two
havestable crabs; Red Rock and the famed Dungeness. Hoods Canal has a
limited shrimp season, but otherwise in the rest of the salt chuck
it's iffy year round. Between November and February the squid are
running. From: Rainforest1950 <rainforest1950@lydate: Wed, 26 Nov

One pound of moosemeat, cut into small chunks. (I think the leg part
is best.)

Boil in salted water for half hour to 45 minutes (until the moosemeat
is done). Add about 1 - 2 cups of quick cooking oats. Makes a hearty

MOOSE'S BEEF BRISKET HASH

1 forbrisket:
3 lb beef brisket
1 onion; whole
1 leek; whole
5 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chile flakes
1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 bruised
10 cup low-sodium beef bouillon or
1 stock
1 forvegetables:
2 onions; chopped or
1 julienned
2 tablespoon olive oil

1 potatoes; cut into inch
1 dice
1 tofinish:
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup parsley; chopped
3 cup reserved braising liquid
1 from brisket
1 dash salt and pepper

To cook brisket: Trim excess fat from meat. Put brisket in a stockpot
with onion, leek and seasonings and cover with stock. Cover pot and
cook at a constant simmer, skimming any foam that rises to surface,
for about 2 hours or until fork tender. Remove meat from liquid and
allow to cool. Strain braising liquid, remove fat that rises to the
top and set liquid aside. Cut the meat into 1/4-inch dice, trimming
off fat, and set aside.

To cook vegetables: Cook onions in olive oil over low heat until
translucent, about 5 minutes. Reserve. Cover potatoes with cold,
salted water and cook over medium heat until water just comes to
boil. After water boils, strain potatoes and spread in a single layer
to dry completely, then cool.

To cook hash: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add potatoes and
cook on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until browned and
slightly crisp. Lower heat to medium, add 3 cups diced brisket and
heat through, about 2 minutes. Mix in reserved sauteed onions and
chopped parsley.

In a saucepan on medium high heat, reduce 3 cups of reserved braising


liquid to about 1 1/2 cups until it is slightly thickened, about 10-15
minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hash in a bowl
and top with braising liquid and, if desired, poached eggs.

MRS. BEATON'S JUGGED HARE

1 hare
1 flour
250 gm unsalted butter
----MARINADE----
500 ml red wine
250 ml port
1 lemon; zest & juice
1 parsley stalks
2 bay leaves
16 peppercorns
2 cloves
----DEMI GLACE----
24 veal bones
2 carrots
1 stick celery
1 onion
1/4 leek
1 thyme
1 bay leaf

Adapted from Mrs. Beaton's original recipe: it cost 7 shillings when


Mrs Beaton was alive. First catch your hare. Skin, paunch (gut) and
wash the hare. Marinate the hare in the red wine, port, lemon, herbs
and spices for 48 hours.

To make the demi glace: brown the bones in the oven for 2 to 3 hours
on 220'C. Roughly chop the vegetables and add to the bones. Place
the bones and vegetables into a large pot with the herbs. Cover with
cold water and bring to boil, then simmer for 4 hour. Strain and add
marinade to this beef stock and reduce by two-thirds, until you have
a strong demi glace. Strain and reserve the demi glace.

To cook the hare: remove saddle and reserve. Cut into pieces. Dredge
with flour and fry in boiling butter. Put hare pieces into a large
preserving jar and add demi glace. Cover and place into a pot of hot
water with cloth on base of pot to stop the jar from cracking. Stew
until tender, approximately 3 to 4 hours, taking care to keep the
water boiling. Remove hare pieces and place on one half of the
serving dish. Pour demi glace from the jar over the pieces. Sear the
hare saddles, cut into 3 and place on the other half of the serving
dish. Serve with mixed root vegetables: carrot, turnip, parsnip.

MRS. BEETON'S JUGGED HARE

1 hare
1 1/2 lb gravy beef
1/2 lb butter
1 onion
1 lemon
6 cloves
1 pepper cayenne, and salt to taste
1/2 pint port wine.

Skin, paunch, and wash the hare, cut it into pieces, dredge them with
flour, and fry in boiling butter. Have ready 1 1/2 pint of gravy,
made from the above proportions of beef, and thickened with a little
flour. Put this into a jar; add the pieces of fried hare, an onion
stuck with six cloves, a lemon peeled and cut in half, and a good
seasoning of pepper, cayenne, and salt; cover the jar down tightly,
put it up to the neck into a stewpan of boiling water, and let it
stew until the hare is quite tender, taking care to keep the water
boiling. When nearly done, pour in the wine, and add a few forcemeat
balls: these must be fried or baked in the oven for a few minutes
before they are put to the gravy. Serve with red-currant jelly.

Time---3 1/2 to 4 hours. If the hare is very old, allow 4 1/2 hours.

Sufficient for 7 or 8 persons. Seasonable from September to the end of


February. From From Mrs. Beeton's Every Day Cookery and Housekeeping
Book,(facsimile of the 1865 edition) (for more about Mrs. Beeton, see

MUFFIN-TOPPED VENISON CASSEROLE

----CASSEROLE----
1 lb ground venison
3 oz mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 oz tomato sauce
2 tablespoon lemon juice
----MUFFIN BATTER----
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoon oil or shortening (melted)

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.

Drain mushrooms, reserve liquid. Combine mushrooms with oil, onion,


green pepper, salt, pepper and saute over moderate heat approximately
5 minutes or until veggies are tender. Add venison and cook, stirring
until meat loses its red color. Remove from heat. Add tomato sauce,
lemon juice and mushroom liquid. Pour into a 2-quart, greased,
casserole.

Prepare muffin recipe and cover meat mixture with muffin

To make muffins: Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and


sugar--set aside. Combine milk, egg and oil. Beat at medium speed
with an electric mixer until blended--approximately 30 seconds. Add
flour mixture and beat just until moistened--DON'T overbeat! Pour
batter over meat mixture. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 25
minutes.

You can make this, using ground beef too...still good.

Ground venison, run twice through the grinder (and only AFTER
freezing, never before), may be used in all the varied ways of using
hamburger. This is easily the most versatile form in which to use
venison, and one that disguises a variety of of shortcomings in the
meat--from excessive age and lack of fat to an overly strong flavor.
Grinding venison into hamburger is the ultimate tenderizer.

MUSTARD FRIED CARIBOU

4 caribou steaks or
8 small chops
1 seasoned salt
1 pepper
2 tablespoon dijon style mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish
1 tablespoon oil

Season steaks with your salt and pepper. Combine mustard and
horseradish. Smear this mixture on each side of the steaks so that
the steaks are fully coated on both sides. Pan fry in hot oil til
browned- medium rare. Probe a steak with a fork and as soon as the
juices run clear, steaks are done.

Yield: 4 servings

MUSTARD FRIED VENISON

2 tablespoon dijon style mustard


1 teaspoon horseradish
1 3/8 cup olive oil

I have 2 entire cookbooks devoted to the cooking of wild game (which


yes, often requires different seasoning than beef or chicken requires
to achieve a desirebale flavor). What sort of recipes did you have in
mind? I thumb through my books and see what's there. Here's one that
sounded interesting: serves 4-6, prep time 30 minutes Season steaks
with your own blend of salt and pepper. Combine mustard and
horseradish. Spread mixture on each side of steaks so that the steaks
are fully covered on both sides. Fry in hot olive oil, being careful
to avoid being splattered. Poke with fork and as soon as juices run
clear, steaks are done and ready to be served with whatever
garnishment you prefer. A baked potatoe and a green, dinner salad
rounds out a delicious meal.

NATIVE AMER PHESANT OR GAME HEN,

By: EEPEE RES-WINNIPEG-RR

2-2 1/2 lb hen pheasant, cleaned


1 onion, quartered
1 bay leaf
6 peppercorns
1 small carrot, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
pinch powdered thyme
1/4 tsp rosemary, dried and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp black walnut meats, finely chopped

This recipe is adapted from the exceptionally good,


controlled-circulation Recipes Only Magazine. The original
dish was created by Mary Richard for use in her Teepee Res-
taurant, in Winnipeg. I found some of the ingredients hard
to locate in a hurry and used what I had available with good
results. You can substitute rock Cornish hen, guinea fowl,
or chicken for the pheasant and hazelnuts, filberts or wal-
nuts for the black walnuts.
PROCEDURE (BIRDS)
(1) Split pheasant down the breastbone (or have your
butcher do this).

(2) Rinse the halves, place in a deep pot and barely


cover with water. Add bay leaf, onion, carrot,
celery, salt and peppercorns.

(3) Bring to rolling boil, then turn down heat and


simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until
tender. Remove foam and scum as it forms. Remove
bird(s) from broth, reserving the broth.

(4) Using a heavy skillet, saut' the halves in 2 Tbsp


of the butter until golden.

(5) Place birds into small roasting pan or casserole


with just enough water to cover the bottom of the
pan. Sprinkle with thyme and rosemary.

(6) Bake, lightly covered with foil, for 30-40 minutes


at 350 deg. F.

PROCEDURE (GRAVY)
(1) While the birds are in the oven, strain the broth
and boil rapidly down to 2 cups

(2) Brown the mushrooms using the same skillet in


which you browned the pheasant. Remove the mush-
Page 887

rooms and keep them warm.

(3) Melt the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter in the skil-


let. Add the flour, stirring up the browning from
the pan.

(4) Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown.


Blend in the broth using a wire whisk.

(5) Add mushrooms and continue cooking approximately


1-2 minutes. Turn down heat, cover and keep warm
until pheasant is roasted.

NOTES
When the pheasants are cooked, remove them from the oven and
scrape the herbs from the skin. After placing the pheasant
halves on a warm platter (or leaving them in the casserole),
pour the gravy over the pheasant. Garnish with the chopped
nutmeats and serve. This dish is particularly good with
wild rice.

RATING
Difficulty: easy once you have the all the ingredients
ready. Time: 40 minutes preparation, 80 minutes cooking.
Precision: measure the spices.

Bill Silvert (silvert@biome.bio.ns.ca) and Michelle Manes


(manes@bass.bu.edu)
both give high marks to the Indian Pudding at Boston's Durgin Park
restaurant.
Let me offer a dissenting opinion: theirs is the worst Indian Pudding I
have
ever had. I won't say it's bad, but I have had much better at another
restaurant (whose identity is a closely-held secret) and at my dinner
table.
Please keep this preamble in mind when reviewing 'my' recipe. (You may
want
to wait until the weather's colder before running your oven for 5-7 hours
and did you know that you can bake all sorts of things in a 250F oven, e.g.
potatoes and squash?)

1/4 cold water), and turn heat up, cook and stir till chili is thickened -
a few minutes.

1 . finely diced (use both
1 . white & green parts)
1/2 cup chicken stock
6 eggs; well beaten
1 cup corn oil (for frying)
1 cup cornmeal
----CHIMICHURI SAUCE----
1/2 cup cilantro; minced
1/2 cup parsley; minced
1/2 cup onion; finely minced
1/2 cup garlic; roasted & minced
1 1/2 teaspoon oregano; finely minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorn; cracked
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil (or more to taste)

Note: If desired, crayfish, clams, lobsters or oysters may be


substituted.

Heat the sunflower seed or peanut oil in a medium cast-iron skillet


over medium heat, then quickly saute the onion in the hot oil,
stirring often. Add parsley and stir well. Add the 1/4 cup of yellow
cornmeal, stirring continually and cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from
heat and cool.

In a large howl, combine the crabmeat, lemon juice, salt, paprika,


white pepper, dill weed, celery, pepper, scallions, chicken stock,
and eggs. Blend these ingredients thoroughly, cover, and chill for 3
hours.

Heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Shape the crabmeat mixture into 16 well-proportioned cakes about 3
inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Dust each side lightly
with the remaining cup of fine cornmeal, and ease the cakes one at a
time, without crowding, into the hot oil. Quickly brown them on both
Page 894

sides, cooking for a total of about 15 minutes. Serve hot, garnished


with additional green onions (scallions). watercress, dill, and lots
of chimichuri sauce below.

Makes 16 cakes

To Make the Chimichuri Sauce: In a medium glass or ceramic bowl,


combine all ingredients, blending thoroughly and adding additional
olive oil if needed. Taste the mixture and balance the seasonings,
then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Serve cold or at
room temperature. May be pureed for a finer sauce or prepared more
coarsely for a salsa-like presentation. The additions of l/2 cup
roasted pine nuts and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese brings this to
the general nature of a cilantro pesto. This concoction should be
peppery-spicy!

jabs in the roast, somewhat evenly spaced, to insert the garlic. Put the
water or broth in the bottom of a shallow roasting pan, then the sliced
onion, with the roast on top of the onion. Season the with salt and pepper
(fresh ground if possible).

Mix the butter and mustard together, brush the roast with the mixture and
sprinkle with marjoram/oregano. Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Check and baste
roast. This is the time to add any extras like potatoes, carrots or more
onions. Continue roasting for about 1 1/2 hours more, checking and basting
every so often. If the broth or water evaporates, add a little more. When
done, put roast on a serving plate and add a little flour to the pan juices
to make a light gravy

NATIVEWAY APACHE ACORN STEW

3 lb round steak, cut into bite


1 size pieces
1 sweet acorns (enough to make
3/4 cup acorn flour)
1 salt

Cook beef (elk or deer meat) in about 1 quart of water. Let it simmer
for about 3 hours or until meat is well done. Salt to taste. Shell
acorns and grind them into very fine flour until you have
approximately 3/4 cup of flour. Strain the broth from the meat (it
will be used later). Shred the meat and, placing it in a wooden bowl,
mix it with the acorn flour. (Note: metal utensils or bowl will
discolor the flour) Pour hot broth over the mixture and stir. It is
now ready to serve in individual bowls. Usually served with fry bread.

1 beans you like)
1 salt to taste
1 crushed hot pepper
1 handful uncooked pumpkin
1 seeds
1 handful uncooked sunflower
1 seeds
1 handful uncooked wild rice

beans). Add salt and hot pepper. Start cooking over medium heat-(I
use a cast iron pot). Add nut meats and tomato if you like. If you're
vegetarian stop here. If not, add as much as you like of any browned
meat. Cook till beans are soft, add green onions, 2 crushed garlic
cloves, and cook
10 minutes more.

NATIVEWAY BEAR (YO-NA)

1 bear meat

Cut the meat in strips and dry before the fire. Hang these strips
across the rafters of the cabin on a basswood strip to keep dry all
winter. It is best to cover the dried meat with a cloth if you have
one. When you get ready to eat the bear meat, take it off the stick,
beat it in the corn beather until it is like cornmeal. Put this in a
pot of plain water and boil until the soup tastes good. Eat this with
mush if you want it to taste the best.

NATIVEWAY BLACK VENISON SOUP

1/2 cup corn oil


1 lb chorizo sausage, chopped
1 into bite size pieces
1 lb venison back roast, chopped
1 into bite size pieces
1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, roasted and
1 chopped
1 tablespoon celery seeds
6 cup water
2 cup black turtle beans, cooked
2 cup tomatoes, cooked and
1 chopped
2 bay leaves
1 any of the following or
1 combination of the
1 following:
1 small negro, anco, or pasilla
1 pepper, roasted and chopped
2 medium poblano or mulato peppers,
1 roasted and chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, roasted and
1 chopped
2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder, roasted
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoon epazote or oregano, chopped

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add teh
chorizo, cooking and stirring quickly to sear in the juices. Spoon
the chorizo over to one edge of the skillet and add the venison bits,
stirring and cook ing quickly. Add half of the salt to the cooking
meat, stirl well, and spoon to one side. Add the onions, garlic, and
celery seeds. Cook thoroughly, stirring well. Cover and set aside.

In a deep soup or stock pot, place the water, beans, tomatoes, and
bay leav es. Cook over medium heat covered, moderating it to a slow,
bubbling boil for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the hot
meat mixture to teh vegetable and bean pot, stirring thoroughly. Add
all the remaining ingredients, blending carefully, and simmer for 15
minutes.

Notes: This soup is better if its made the night or morning before and
allowed to set so the flavors mingle. Serve this with cold sour
cream, hot sauce, salsas, breads, diced bell peppers, red onion, and
celery, and whole fresh cranberries. This dish is very spicy.

with salt and pepper, cover with bacon or use another larding
technique, and glaze the roast with either:

a) honey and mustard (I like coarse ground the best), or b) real maple
syrup (a traditional Odawa treat), or c) season (rub) with parsley,

NEW MEXICO CHILI ALA KATHY PITTS

10 roast chiles
3 roasted green bell peppers
5 roasted tomatoes
3 lb lean boneless pork or lamb
1 seasoned flour
1 hot lard
2 chopped onions
2 centiliter garlic
1 flour to make a roux
1 chicken broth
1 cumin
1 mexican oregano

I don't have a real recipe for New Mexico-style chile, although I do


make it occasionally when I manage to drag home more fresh Anaheim or
Poblano chiles than I can dispose of otherwise. (Kroger's sometimes
has BIG bags of them for 99 cents a bag ;-)

What I do is first roast the chiles (either in the broiler or --


better -- over charcoal). The number of chiles I use depends on the
size/heat of the chiles, and can range from 2-3 to 10 or more. If
the chiles are really hot (it happens sometimes, even with Anaheims),
I'll also add 3-4 roasted green bell peppers to give the dish the
required pepper taste without rendering it inedible by anyone without
an asbestos esophagus.

After the chiles have cooled a bit, I peel and seed them, and cut
them into coarse dice. I sometimes (not always) will also roast/peel
5-6 tomatoes to place in the chiles, but tomatoes are optional in
this dish, and I usually don't use 'em.

Next, cut up 3-4 pounds of lean boneless pork (beef is sometimes


used, but isn't as good in this dish, IMHO, and I would imagine lamb
would be very good here indeed).

Coat the meat in seasoned flour, and brown it in hot lard. Remove
from the pan and set aside. Toss a couple of chopped onions into the
pot, along with a clove or two of garlic. When the onions are
golden, I add enough flour to make a roux, and cook until the roux is
light brown.

I then add chicken broth to make a fairly thin gravy, the pork,
chiles, tomatoes (if used), and season the dish with cumin and
Mexican oregano.

Simmer for a couple of hours, until the pork is tender and the
flavors have blended. The end dish should have a pronounced green
chile/pepper flavor and be the consistancy of a thick stew. It's
very good by itself, or as a filling for burritos/soft tacos, and is
wonderful reheated the next morning and served as a side dish with
scrambled eggs for breakfast. Wes, for some bizarre reason, likes it
over rice...

Sorry for the inexact recipe/directions. I learned to make this dish


from an ex-neighbor who was or mixed Hispanic/Native American
ancestry, and never QUITE got around to rendering her directions into
a real recipe. (She served the dish with fry bread, and a pot of
white beans on the side -- have no idea whether this was traditional
or simply the way she liked it.)

NEW MEXICO PUMPKIN CANDY (TRUDE DUCKWORTH)

1 quart pumpkin cubes


1 cup brown sugar
1 granulated sugar *

Put pumpkin in a pan and cover wtih water. Bring to a boil and cook
15-20 mins. Drain, RESERVING LIQUID. There should be about 1 1/2 c
liquid. Mix liquid with brown sugar, pour over pumpkin, and boil 15
mins. LET PUMPKIN PIECES STAND IN SYRUP OVERNIGHT.

Next day boil the pumpkin in syrup for 5 mins. Take pumpkin pieces
from the syrup and set on wax paper lined tray in the sun to dry. (If
your climate isn't as dry as the southwest, you might try putting the
candy on foil instead of wax paper nad putting the candy in the oven
on warm - the lowest possible setting - overnight.)

After about 10 hrs, roll pieces in granulated sugar.

* The coarse sugar that is purchased in Mexico is better than U.S.


superfine. Turbinato sugar or raw sugar will give you the effect of
Mexican sugar.

NEW TEXAS VENISON-BLACK BEAN CHILI

4 tablespoon olive oil


1 lb venison leg, well-trimmed of
1 fat and finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely
1 chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and
1 chopped
4 tablespoon ancho puree
2 chipotles in adobo, chopped
4 medium tomatoes, blanched, peeled,
1 seeded and diced
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 quart chicken or vegetable stock
1 (or more as needed)
12 oz bottle dark beer
1 cup black beans, soaked
1 overnight and drained
1 teaspoon epazote
2 tablespoon masa harina
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 salt and freshly ground
1 pepper to taste

Here's one from Stephen Pyles' New Tastes from Texas Cookbook
(Clarkson Potter/Publishers, 1998). He does say, "We have a saying
in Texas: If you have beans about Texas, you know Texas chili has no
beans. But this is, after all, _New Tastes from Texas_...." He
serves it with goat cheese crema and a Southern salsa, called "slang
jang." Hope this exotic enough for you.

Heat the oil in a heavy stockpot or casserole until lightly smoking.


Add the venison, garlic, onion, and jalapeno; cook over medium heat
until the meat has browned, about 15 minutes. Add the ancho puree,
chipotles, tomatoes, and cumin; cook for 10 minutes longer.

Add the stock and beer; bring to a boil. Add the black beans and
epazote. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until
the meat beans are perfectly tender, stirring occasionally. Add more
stock throughout the cooking process, if necessary, to keep the meat
and beans covered. Whisk in the masa harina and cilantro. Season
with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with Goat Cheese Creme and
Slang Jang.

NEW VENISON JERKY PROCEDURE

1 info file

Home-prepared venison jerky was recently identified as the cause of a


foodborne illness outbreak in Oregon. The small electric dehydrator
that was used hadn't reached a high enough temperature to kill the
harmful bacteria E. coil O157:H7 bacteria can grow in the intestines
of deer and contaminate meat during handling. To kill these bacteria,
jerky must be heated to 160øF. while it is still moist. Because most
home dehydrators aren't designed to reach this temperature, the jerky
must be heated in another way to guarantee safety. This can be done
by precooking

Precooking in marinade shortens the drying time and makes a more


tender jerky. Although the color and texture will be different from
conventional jerky, precooked jerky is still tasty. Note: Research is
needed to identify other safe jerky-making procedures.

To date, there is no safe procedure for the dry cure method

To precook venison jerky

1. Freeze game meat before preparing so that it will be easier to


dice.

2. Cut partially thawed meat into long slices that are no more
than % inch thick For tender jerky, cut at a right angle to long
muscles ("across the grain"). Remove all the fat possible to prevent
off-flavor

3. prepare 1-2 cups of marinade of your choice in a large sauce


pan.

4. Bring the marinade to a full rolling boil over medium heal Add
a few meat strips, making sure that they are covered by marinade.
Re-heat to a full boil.

5. Remove the pan from the range. Using tongs, immediately remove
meat from the hot marinade to prevent over-cooking. Repeat steps 4
and 5 until all meat has been precooked. Add more marinade if needed.

6. Place precooked strips in single non-overlapping layers on drying


racks.

I just couldn't figure out how to condense it and not miss anything
that might end up being important. And Jerky guys don't panic or
freak or anything. OK?

We did try the methode out with beef and it turned out really good. It
surprised me. I thought that it would not have the flavor of an
overnight soak but the cooking seemed to get the flavor into the meat
real well.

NORWEGIAN MOOSE STEAKS W/ FOREST MUSHROOMS SAUCE.

28 oz moose meat
3 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 teaspoon butter
1 salt
1 pepper
1 sauce:
2 shallots
1 oz dried or
7 oz fresh forest mushrooms
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 2/3 cup red wine
3 3/8 cup stock
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon chives
1 3/8 oz butter

Part the meat into steaks - 180-200 grams each. Chop thyme, and
drizzle over steaks with salt and pepper. Fry the steaks on both
sides in butter for 2-3 minutes. They should by now have a pink
center. Let the steaks rest before serving.

Sauce: Chop onions and fry in olive oil with (coarsely chopped)
mushrooms. Pour red wine over, and let reduce until about 25% is
left. Add stock and reduce until about half is left. Whip in butter,
and add salt and pepper to taste. Chop parsley and chives, and add
right before serving. Serve with butter-steamed root vegetables.

A rich red wine and the mushroom sauce should go perfectly with the
moose meat.

they should be warmed right through and not eaten raw. Se rve the
steaks on a plate, place an onion ring on each of them and fill it
with p eppers, parsley and gherkins. Potato scollops taste good
together with the steaks . Serve with a bowl of good, crisp lettuce

OHIO CANNED VENISON

1 text only

Wash meat well and cup up in one-inch cubes, removing all fat. Pat
dry and pack quart jars until full. Do not add water or salt. Secure
lids and process for 90 minutes at 10 lbs. pressure. The venison
will make its own juice and a layer of fat will be on top. This will
keep for a long time and can be used for several dishes, such as
vegetable and venison stew. Or, you can turn out the contents of a
jar into a skillet and warm well. Make gravy and cook potatoes and
you have a meal.

salt and pepper to taste
pinch of freshly chopped thyme (opt; ional)

I have an old (to me) recipe that came from my grandmother. My personal
feeling is that the simpler the recipe, the better when it comes to
vegetables. I prefer fresh vegetables, but have used the frozen products
if time is tight. I believe S&W is the brand I have used.
In heavy pot brown bacon, add onion and sweat til barely translucent. Add
beans and corn and 1/4 cup water (omit if using frozen), cover and cook at
least 1/2 hour on medium-low. Add salt and pepper after about 10 minutes
of cooking time. My grandmother used to cook it for hours, so it's
basically up to you how done you want it, I prefer mine fresher tasting.
You can also have a little dish of chopped Thyme at the table to sprinkle.
This has been part of our Thanksgiving meal for as long as I can remember.

OVEN JERKY

1 meat
1 liquid smoke
1 water
1 salt

Use any red meat - venison, elk, antelope, wild sheep or even beef.
Trim meat removing all fat. Cut into long strips anywhere from 4-8
inches in lenfth. Dilute liquid smoke in water using 2 parts liquid
smoke to 1 part water. Dip each strip of meat in this solution and
lay in flat glass dish. When you have 1 layer or meat in the dish,
liberally sprinkle table salt on the meat so you see the salt. Repeat
this process until the dish is about 3/4 full. If you have more
meat, use another dish, as this solution will become quite juicy and
may overflow a dish that is too full. Cover each dish with plastic
wrap and set in a cool place for at least 12-24 hours. In a very cool
oven, about 140F or lower if possible, lay the strips (unrinsed) on
your oven racks. Place as many racks in your oven as possible to
conserve energy. Set a flat pan convered with tinfoil under the
bottom rack to catch the drips. Bake for 10-12 hours or until meat is
free of moisture, but not brittle. Stor in jar or place in freezer
for longer storage. This recipe is ideal to use for all those scraps
you hate to waste or if your family is not fond of ground game. The
better trimmed the meat is, the less chewy. If you like spicer
jerky, just add pepper to marinade, but try it without first, you may
find this spicy enough. Excellent for snacks for your hunter of
school aged children. Origin: A Taste of Oregon Shared by: Sharon

OYSTER BUFFALO STEAKS

2 buffalo, fillet steaks, thick.


1 wine, red -optional-
1 garlic clove crushed.
2 teaspoon thyme, fresh, chopped.
1 teaspoon mustard, french, prepared
50 gm butter, softened.
1 smoked oysters, can of...
1 cotton, or string, for trussing.
2 large potatoes
4 medium onions
1 oil, or butter
1 riberry sauce, [*] heated.

If you are able to marinate steaks in red wine, from 10 minutes


to a couple of hours then you'll reap the benefits. If time
doesn't permit, at least make a herb butter by combining garlic,
thyme and mustard with the softened butter.

Cut three-quarters of the way through the length of the fillet.


Spread half the herb butter on the two fillet centres. Halve the
oyster quantity and place on each herb-buttered fillet. Truss
the meat securely with cotton or string.

Heat oven to 180^C.

Melt the remaining herb butter in heavy-duty pan over a medium


heat, sear and brown steaks on both sides. Transfer liquid and
steaks to baking dish and place in oven for a further 15 to 20
minutes.

Meanwhile, wash, peel and cut the potatoes into 10mm thick chips.
Soak in cold water while slicing onions. When onions are ready,
drain and dry the chips.

Liberally wipe a hot plate or pan with butter and a little juice
from meat. Fry the chips on one half and the onions on the other.
Sprinkle both with salt and turn constantly.

When ready, serve immediately with oyster buffalo steaks and


riberry sauce. A really square meal, where steak knives are
advisable.

NOTE: "Riberries, or small-leafed clove-tasting lillypilly fruit,


come from the rainforest trees and are often seen in northern
Australian parks and gardens. Some riberries have seeds, others
don't. The seedless are preferred for cooking." -JR

1 thyme
1 garlic
1 salt and pepper

game stock. Finally add salt and pepper to taste.

For the Reindeer: Season the fillet of reindeer with salt and pepper
and lightly brown in a frying pan on each side. Roast in the oven at
160øC/300øF/gas mark 2 for 4 to 6 minutes.

Potatoes: Clean the potatoes but they will be cooked with the peel.
Place in a roasting tin with olive oil, some garlic and lemon, salt,
pepper and thyme to taste. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes at
250øC/500øF/gas mark 9. Serve with broccoli and sauted mushrooms.

In a hot skillet, sear the tenderloin briefly on all sides. Sprinkle


lightly with seasoned salt, Italian seasoning and ground chilies
[chile powder not chili powder].

Roast uncovered on a shallow tray: place the tenderloin in the


preheated oven and immediately turn off the heat. A small whole
tenderloin or a larger one butterflied will cook to medium rare this
way in 30 to 45 minutes.

* My favourite seasoned salt is Madame Dee's Game Seasoning or Back


Eddy Steak spice.

** The Italian seasoning I use is a fairly mild mixture of herbs with


lots of dried parsley in it.

*** Jim's chile powder: 1 tsp each salt, garlic powder, sugar and
cayenne
1 tb paprika 1 or 2 dried habaneros, powdered in a mortar and
pestle.

PANFRIED QUAIL

1 cup white grapes (to make 1/4 to 1/3 cu; p grape juice)
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
8 quart split and flattened
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup virginia ham, cut into 2 by 1/4 inc; h matchsticks

First, make the fresh white grape juice. Crush the cup of grapes in a
pestle, then put through a sieve or vegetable mill to extract the
juice, or use a potato ricer.

Combine the salt, pepper, and thyme, crushing the thyme with your
fingertips. Sprinkle both sides of the birds with the seasonings.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams
and just begins to brown. Add the quail, skin-side down. Sprinkle
with ham, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the skin is golden
brown. Turn the birds and continue cooking, covered, until the juices
run clear, about 4 minutes longer. Take the pan from the heat and
let the quail rest, covered, for about 10 minutes. Arrange the quail
on a platter and sprinkle the ham from the pan over them.

Pour the fat from the pan. Add the grape juice (you can also use
water, if you prefer), and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute,
scraping the browned bits from the bottom to deglaze the pan. Pour
over the quail and serve.

Serves 4.

3/4 teaspoon arrowroot or
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water; cold
1 1/2 tablespoon brandy
1 roast beet puree **
1 spinach ***
1 beet greens ***

Recipe by: Chef: Werner Albrecht, The French Room ** Recipe for this
ingredient is elsewhere in this database.

*** Blanch 1 1/2 pounds of fresh spinach, stems removed, and reserved
greens from 4 beets. Drain, rinse under cold water and squeeze out
all of the liquid. Toss the greens in a skillet over medium-high
beat with 2 tablesp of butter and until heated through. Season with
salt.

To Marinate: ============== You can do this yourself, or you can


ask your butcher to cut up your rabbit as follows: forelegs left
whole, hind legs cut into 3 pieces each (lower joint; thigh cut
diagonally into 2 pieces), rib section cut into 3 pieces, loin cut
into 3 pieces, neck left whole.At least 2 days before serving, pla
the rabbit in a shallow glass or enamel pan and add marinade
ingredients. Turn rabbit pieces over to coat. Marinate, covered, in
refrigerator, turning occasionally.
Preheat you oven to 325 F. Remove the rabbit from the marinade. In a
heavy large skillet, heat about 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium-high
heat. Add half of the rabbit pieces and sprinkle with salt and
Page 965

pepper. Saute, turning pieces once, until golden brown, about 5


minutes. Transfer oven-proof casserole. Discard fat from skillet and
add 1/2 cup of white w scraping up all of the browned bits in the
pan. Boil for 2 minutes and ad the liquids out of the skillet to the
casserole. Repeat the procedure, browning the remaining rabbit,
deglazing and adding rabbit and liquid to t casserole.
Bring the brown chicken stock to a boil; skim, if necessary, and
pour it the casserole (liquid should not quite cover meat). Place the
casserole, partially covered, in the lower third of the oven. A 50
minutes, check the forelegs, racks and loins. If they are tender,
remo them. Continue cooking until all of the remaining pieces are
tender, 1 to 1/2 hours total cooking time (timing can vary depending
on size and tender of the rabbit).Transfer to serving plates and keep
warm.

Meanwhile, blanch the garlic in boiling salted water for 30 seconds;


drain Blanch again for 30 seconds, drain. Place in a small skillet
with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute over high heat for 1 minute.

Place the skillet in the oven until the garlic is golden, 25 to 30


minute Cut each clove into 3 or 4 pieces; set aside.
When the rabbit is tender, place the skillet with cooking liquid
over high heat and boil until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Skim
all of the fat from the surface. In a small cup, stir together the
arrowroot and water; whisk the mixture into the reduced cooking
liquid and return to a boil. A brandy, adjust seasonings with salt
and pepper, and skim again if necessary Stir in the reserved garlic
pieces, and pour over the rabbit.

Serve your rabbit with Roast Beet Puree, spinach and beet greens.

PASSAMAQUODDY (SMOKED RABBIT)

fresh jack rabbit


mesquite chips

Catch a fresh jackrabbit around December. (If none are available, purchase
one
at a supermarket.) Clean and cut rabbit into large pieces. Place on grill
over
red coals, and add mesquite chips to the fire. Put a lid over the rabbit
and
smoke slowly for 1/2 hour or so, turning halfway through. Be careful not to
overcook-- rabbits have very little fat and will dry out quickly.

1 minced

Fry the onions, mushrooms and bacon in a little dripping. Mix in the
lemon peel, breadcrumbs, parsley and seasoning, and a beaten egg.

Flatten out each piece of venison. Season with pepper, salt and
thyme. On each slice, lay a bit of the stuffing, roll up the meat and
secure with a toothpick or tie with string.

Roll them in flour and brown them in bacon drippings. Add water,
just to cover, and simmer very slowly for 10 minutes. Crush the
garlic and add this and the mustard to the sauce. Cook for another
30 minutes at a slow simmer. The sauce should be creamy.

Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

PAWNEE INDIAN CORN SOUP HTTP://WWW.ANIWAYA.ORG

1 stew size beef chunks of


1 meat
1 dried corn
1 salt and black pepper
1 optional:
1 potatoes
1 onions

For the amount of soup you want to make, take stew size beef chunks
from the store and cut them in half. Optional: Use lean ground beef
(80%+) in place of beef chunks; avoid fatty ground beef. You want a
good, strong beef flavored broth or the corn soup will be sweet
flavored from the corn. Boil water for the amount of soup you want to
prepare. When water is at the boiling point, drop in the determined
quantity of half-sized beef chunks of meat. Add salt and pepper to
taste. Boil the meat until the broth has a brownish color to it.
(Meat may be tender when the broth is light but for the real meat and
corn flavor, it should be cooked until the broth is brownish.)
Optional: While the meat is boiling, add the raw onions and raw
potatoes if you choose. After the broth has reached the brownish
color, add the quantity of dried corn you wish to cook. Cook for
30-45 minutes until soft and tender. The dried corn will absorb the
beef flavor as it cooks. For more of a taste of eating dried corn,
cook the corn about 30 minutes; corn will have more firmness to it.
Optional: If your potatoes are already boiled, add them in the last
10-15 minutes of cooking the corn. Serve Corn Soup soupy as a meal or
drain the soup and serve corn and beef as a side dish.

1 tbsp. hulled sunflower seeds, or chopped; pecans*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse chickens and pat dry. Place them in a
roasting pan. Season the cavities. Truss birds with kitchen string (real
sinew thread can also be used--it is traditional, but can be hard to come
by--synthetic sinew, to my knowledge, cannot be used--but I'm not sure
about this). Brush each bird with 1 tbsp. honey or molasses. Roast for 20
minutes per pound, or until juices run clear (while roasting, it is a good
idea to baste the birds a few times with the pan juices). Remove from oven
let sit for 7 to 10 minutes

Scrub potatoes and prick with a fork. Roast potatoes in the oven with the
chickens for 45 to 60 mintues, or until tender when pricked with a fork.
When done, split potatoes open and drizzle with remaining honey or
molasses. Sprinkle with the chives or green onion tops and toasted seeds
or nuts; season lighly with salt and pepper. Place chickens on a serving

smooth. Whisk in the cold butter, a few cubes at a time until all the
butter is incorporated into the sauce. Reseason with salt and pepper.
To assemble, mound the greens in the center of the plate. Arrange the
tenderloin on top of the greens. Spoon the sauce over the top.

PECAN CRUSTED VENISON WITH BOURBON MASH

12 venison medallions (3 oz ea)


2 cup roasted pecans
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoon essence
2/3 cup creole mustard
1 olive oil for sauteing
6 whole sweet potatoes; roasted, skin left on, wa
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoon butter

1 fried sweet potato nests
2 tablespoon chives; chopped
2 tablespoon brunoise red peppers
2 tablespoon brunoise yellow peppers

For the venison: In a food processor, pulse the pecans until they are
coarse and are still textured. (Do not puree the pecans because the
crust will be too wet) Add the bread crumbs and Essence. Season each
medallion with salt and pepper. Rub each medallion with the Creole
mustard, coating each side completely. Crust each medallion with the
pecan crust. (Every inch of the medallion needs to be crusted
completely). For the mash: The potatoes should be roasted for 40
minutes at 425 degrees. Remove skin from the roasted sweet potatoes
and place in a sauce pot. Over low heat, partially mash the sweet
potatoes. Add the cream, bourbon and butter, continue to mash until
all the ingredients are incorporated and the potatoes are smooth but
with small lumps. Season with salt and pepper. To finish the venison:
In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is smoking hot, add
the venison. Saute for 3 minutes for medium rare on each side.

PEMMICAN

1 lb caribou jerky
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz raisins
2 oz cranberries
5 oz suet

Run the dry jerky through a food grinder a few times. In a loaf pan
add the cranberries, raisins and brown sugar. When the mixture is
well blended, melt the suet and stir it in. Let the suet cool and
harden. This approximates the old style pemmican made to preserve
meat without refrigeration and to add some vitamin C values.

Yield: 1 batch

PEMMICAN #2

1 cup finely ground jerky


1 cup raisins or other dried
1 fruit
1 cup chopped roasted nuts (pecans
1 walnuts,peanuts,etc )
1/3 teaspoon chile powder
2 tablespoon honey
4 tablespoon peanut butter

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and press into a shallow pan. Cover
with wax paper and refrigerate overnight. Cut into bars and wrap in
foil. Pemmican will keep a long time but will become messy in hot
weather.

This is a modernized version of a food the North American Indians for


hundreds of years.

PEMMICAN (CHIPPEWA)

1 lb dried beef or smoked venison


3/4 lb dried crushed choke-cherries
1/2 lb fresh beef suet, chopped fine
1/2 cup light brown or natural sugar

Pass all through meat grinder, except the sugar. Add the sugar. Mix
thoroughly. Pack in a bowl and keep covered and refrigerated. Serve with
sourdough bread

Dried currents can replace the chokecherries.

PEMMICAN AS BY THE DOOLEYS OF BOISE

4 cup dried meat


3 cup dried fruit
2 cup rendered fat
1 nuts
1 honey

4 cups dried meat - depending on how lean it is, it can take 1 - 2


lbs. per cup. Use only deer, moose, caribou, or beef (not pork or
bear). Get it as lean as possible and double ground from your butcher
if you don't have a meat grinder. Spread it out very thinly in cookie
sheets and dry at 180° overnight or until crispy and sinewy. Regrind
or somehow break it into almost a powder.

3 cups dried fruit - to taste mix currents, dates, apricots, dried


apples. Grind some and leave some lumpy for texture.

2 cups rendered fat - use only beef fat. Cut into chunks and heat
over the stove over medium (or Tallow) heat. Tallow is the liquid and
can be poured off and strained.

Unsalted nuts to taste and a shot of honey.

Combine in a bowl and hand mix. Double bag into four portions. The
mixture will last for quite a while without refrigeration. I have
eaten it four years old. It actually improves with age.

HINT: Vary the fat content to the temperature in which it will be


consumed. Less for summer. Lots for winter. Not only is it good
energy food for canoeing, but an excellent snack for cross country
skiing. This recipe was originally from a Chippewayan Indian Guide as
he learned it from his father. No buffalo chips!

This recipe was submitted by the Dooleys of Boise. Our thanks to them.

PHEASANT & PIGEON TERRINE W/ CUMBERLAND JELLY

3 tablespoon olive oil


2 onions; very finely chopped
1 centiliter garlic; very finely chopped
1 lemon rind; grated
1 fresh black pepper
2 sprigs fresh thyme *or*
1 . 1/2 tsp dried
1 cup port wine
1 1/2 lb pigeon & pheasant meat
1 . finely diced
1 lb lincoln sausages (pork link
1 . sausages)
14 rashers of streaky bacon
1 . (slices of bacon)
----CUMBERLAND JELLY----
2 teaspoon mustard powder
2/3 cup port wine
1 lemon rind (grated) & juice
1 orange rind (grated) & juice
2 teaspoon gelatine powder; unflavored
3/4 cup redcurrant jelly

To make the Cumberland jelly, put all the ingredients in a


saucepan. Over moderate heat melt the jelly - this takes a surprising
length of time, but don't be tempted to raise the heat and hurry up
the task or the jelly will just burn! Once everything is melted
together, pour into a warmed jar, cover and seal.
Heat the oil, add the onions and garlic and cook for a couple of
minutes, then add the grated lemon rind, plenty of pepper, the leaves
from the thyme sprigs, or dried thyme, and the port. Let the mixture
boil fast for 3-4 minutes then take the pan off the heat and leave to
cool completely.
In a bowl, mix together the diced game, the pork sausage meat and
the cold port wine mixture, using your hands to mix thoroughly -
messy, I know, but the only way to mix properly. Cover the bowl and
leave in a cool place for several hours, or overnight - the longer
the better.
Meanwhile, prepare a 2 lb / 9OO g terrine or loaf tin by lining it
with foil. Stretch the bacon with the blade of a knife on a board,
and lay the rashers/slices in the inside of the terrine widthways, to
line it evenly.
Pack the game mixture into the terrine and cover with foil. Put the
terrine into a roasting tin and add enough water to the tin to come
halfway up the sides of the terrine. Cook in a preheated moderate
oven (350øF/ 180øC /gas 4) for 1 3/4-2 hours.
Take the terrine out of the water when the cooking time is up.
Weight it - I use cans of tomatoes or similar - and leave it until
cold before storing in the refrigerator. Turn out to serve, cut into
slices about 2 inch / 1 cm thick. Accompany with the Cumberland
jelly. "Lady MacDonald's Scotland: The Best of Scottish Food & Drink"

PHEASANT AMERIND

2 lb pheasant hen, cleaned (up to 2 1/2; lb)


1 onion, quartered
1 bay leaf
6 peppercorns
1 small carrot, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoon butter
1 pinch thyme, powdered
1/4 teaspoon rosemary, dried and crumbled
1/4 cup mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoon black walnut meats, finely chopped

COOK BIRDS: Split pheasant down the breastbone (or have your butcher
do this). Rinse the halves, place in a deep pot and barely cover
with water. Add bay leaf, onion, carrot, celery, salt and peppercorns.

Bring to rolling boil, then turn down heat and simmer for
approximately 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove foam and scum as
it forms. Remove bird(s) from broth, reserving the broth.

Using a heavy skillet, saute the halves in about 2 T of the butter


until golden. Place birds into small roasting pan or casserole with
just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with thyme
and rosemary. Bake, lightly covered with foil, for 30-40 minutes at
350 degrees F.

MAKE GRAVY: While the birds are in the oven, strain the broth and
boil rapidly down to about 2 cups.

Brown the mushrooms using the same skillet in which you browned the
pheasant. Remove the mushrooms and keep them warm.

Melt the remaining 2 T of butter in the skillet. Add the flour,


stirring up the browning from the pan. Cook over moderately high heat
until golden brown. Blend in the broth using a wire whisk.

Add mushrooms and continue cooking approximately 1-2 minutes. Turn


down heat, cover and keep warm until pheasant is roasted.

When the pheasants are cooked, remove them from the oven and scrape
the herbs from the skin. After placing the pheasant halves on a warm
platter (or leaving them in the casserole), pour the gravy over the
pheasant. Garnish with the chopped nutmeats and serve. This dish is
particularly good with wild rice.

NOTES:

* Pheasant in the North American tradition -- This recipe is adapted


from the exceptionally good, controlled-circulation Recipes Only
Magazine. The original dish was created by Mary Richard for use in
Page 994

her Teepee Restaurant, in Winnipeg. I found some of the ingredients


hard to locate in a hurry and used what I had available with good
results. You can substitute rock Cornish hen, guinea fowl, or chicken
for the pheasant and hazelnuts, filberts or walnuts for the black
walnuts.

: Difficulty: easy once you have the all the ingredients ready.
: Time: 40 minutes preparation, 80 minutes cooking.
: Precision: measure the spices.

2 tablespoon beef dripping
1 onion
1 carrot
1 stick of celery
1 salt and pepper
2 glasses red wine

Set oven to 350/F or Mark 4. Prepare the vegetables and chop them

saves having too many bones to cope with). Heat the beef dripping in
a thick frying pan and brown the pheasant joints. Remove from the pan
and place in a casserole dish. Place the vegetables in the frying pan
and cook for 2 minutes, add the red wine and bring to the boil. Pour
the mixture over the pheasant joints, season and cover the casserole.

1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 slivered almonds
1/3 cup green olives, stuffed with pimiento; , sliced

they are soft, add the green peppers and the jalapenos and cook for just a
couple of minutes. Add the ground beef and brown it, then stir in the
tomatoes, tomato paste, water, oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer this on low
for about 15 minutes. Stir in the raisins, almonds and olives. Heat

2 gal water
1/2 teaspoon saltpeter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

It is best to cut the meat into 4-6 lb pieces. Have a barrel ready
and spread a layer of Salt on the bottom. Rub ea ch piece of the meat
with a mixture of Salt and Pepper and pack down in layers, covering
ea ch with a layer of Salt. The top layer should be of Salt. Let
stand overnight. In the morning pour on the brine made by mixing all
of the ingredi- ents together, using 1 recipe for ea ch 25 lb s of
meat. (Dissolve the ingredients in the 2 gallons of Water stirring
until the Salt is dissolved. Test with an Egg; if it floats, fine, if
not, add more Salt.) Pour over the packed Salted meat and if
necessary pour on more Water to cover the meat. Invert a dish over it
and put a heavy weight on it, to be sure that the meat will not
float. It may be used in 2-3 weeks. For 100 lb s of meat double all

PIGEON WITH CHERRIES

2 good plump pigeons


1 oz drippings or bacon fat
2 sliced shallots or spring
1 onions
1 oz flour
1 bouquet garni (mixed herbs)
1/2 lb red cherries stoned
1/2 oz butter
1 cream
1 1/2 pint stock

Brown the pigeons slowly but throughly in the dripping in the


casserole. Lift them out and in the same fat brown the sliced
shallots. While the onions are browning split the pigeons in half and
trim the backbone with the sissors. sprinkle the flour in the pan and
brown lightly. Add the stock, bring to the boil and add the pigeons
with the bouguet garni. Cook in the casserole in a slow to moderate
oven for about 1 1/2 hours. then remove the pigeons carefully and
keep warm. Reduce the sauce by boiling quickly until it is of a
syrupy consistancy. Strain the sauce and replace it in the pigeons to
reheat throughly. Add cream to taste. Sauter the stoned cherries
quickly in the butter. Dish the pigeons. Pour over the sauce and
scatter over the cherries, which should be sizzling hot.

NB. The European wood pigeon is _Columba palumbus_ and is a large


bird of length 16-18 inches long and live weight of about 1lb. One
pigeon can *just about* feed two people but one pigeon per person is
a good meal but not too much.

PIKANTE REHFILETSCHNITTEN

1/2 cup dry red wine


1/2 cup water
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into inch sli; ces
2 tablespoon finely chopped shallots, or
1 sub
2 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
2 inch piece of cinnamon
1 stick
1 small bay leaf
1 whole clove
3 parsley sprigs
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
2 lb venison tenderloin, cut into inch-t; hick slices
3 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon brandy

Venison Tenderloin in Spiced Brandy Sauce

In a small mixing bowl, combine the red wine, water, sliced onion,
shallots, cinnamon, bay leaf, clove, parsley, thyme, salt and a few
grindings of pepper. Arrange the venison slices in one layer in a
shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over them, turning the
steaks to moisten them thoroughly. Marinate at room temperature for
at least 2 hours, turning the steaks once or twice.

Preheat the oven to 300°. Remove the steaks from the marinade and
pat them thoroughly dry. Set the marinade aside. In a heavy 10- to
12-inch skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam
subsides, add the venison steaks and brown them for 2 or 3 minutes on
each side, regulating the heat so they color quickly and evenly and
without burning. Transfer the steaks to a shallow baking casserole or
baking dish just large enough to hold them comfortably in one layer,
and set them aside.

Strain the marinade through a fine sieve set over a bowl, pressing
down hard on the vegetables with the back of a spoon before discarding
them. Add the flour to the fat remaining in the skillet, and cook
over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the flour browns
lightly. Gradually pour in the strained marinade, chicken stock and
brandy. Stirring constantly with a whisk, bring it to a boil,
continuing to stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the venison steaks and bake
in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, basting them occasionally
with pan juices. Serve at once, directly from the casserole, or on a
large heated platter.

NOTE: In Germany the venison is browned in butter as described above.


Because butter alone burns easily, you may prefer to use 2 tablespoons
Page 1003

of butter combined with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. (Or just use


clarified butter)

PORK AND VENISON TERRINE

2 lb pork shoulder or butt


1 lb venison stew meat
1 lb chicken liver, cleaned of
1 bile
1 large onion
2 centiliter garlic
1 several sprigs fresh thyme
1 several sprigs fresh
1 parsley
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup brandy
3 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground mace

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Pass the pork shoulder and venison through the medium die of a
grinder for a coarse grind. Place the chicken liver in the bowl of a
food processor and pulse to a fine paste. Combine the liver, pork and
venison in a large bowl that has been chilled in the refrigerator.
Chop the onion, garlic, thyme and parsley in the processor until very
fine and add to the meats in the cold bowl. Combine the salt, pepper,
eggs, cream, brandy, flour, cinnamon and mace and add to the meat
mixture. Mix well and chill the entire mixture for 30 minutes.

Line a large loaf tin with plastic wrap, pour the terrine mixture in,
tamping down to insure an even layer. Cook the terrine in a water
bath in the oven by heating some water in a tea kettle, place the
prepared terrine into a roasting pan set in the oven, and pour the
hot water into the roasting pan, being careful not to get any water
into the terrine. Bake for about 90 minutes or until the meat reaches
an internal temperature of 155 degrees. Remove from the oven and
cool. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the terrine, poking holes in
the plastic so that hot air can escape. Place 2 to 3 pounds of weight
(such as dry beans still in the bag) on top of the plastic wrap to
weigh down and compress the terrine and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the oven and cool. Refrigerate overnight and serve cold
with mustard, pickles and green bean salad.

NOTES : If you live in hunting country, here's a new taste for Roast
venison. Rowanberry jelly is made from the red berries of the rowan
tree (mountain ash). This is a sacred tree in Scotland; it averts
disaster and keeps evil spirits away, which is why it is so common in
Scottish Highland and Nova Scotian gardens.

POSOLESTEW

By: Navajo

2 cups blue dried posole (dried whole homi; ny)


1/2 cup mild fresh green chiles, roasted, p; eeled
amd chopped or 1 4 oz can
1 3 fresh or canned jalapeqos, peeled, seeded; , chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 2 peeled, seeded, chopped tomatoes (a; bout 1 cup)
2 3 lb boneless pork roast
2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup choppeed fresh cilantro
salt to taste

his recipe (on Indian Health Service page) uses a


southwstern form of hominy, and it's also for outdoor grilling of the meat.
You an use canned hominy or perhaps you can find dried whole hominy at a
health-food store; if you use canned, naturally don't cook it before you
add it to the final stew phase, and only put it in for the last 40 minutes.
Dried hominy will cook up to a volume of 3 times, so 1.5 lbs dry would
equal an addition of at least 2-3 quarts canned (this is whole hominy, not
grits). Also, the meat can be roasted in an oven, and the peppers carred
under the broiler or in a very hot oven in a paper bag. This recipe resides
on the Indian Health Service server, which gives promise of more, I'll keep
checking back.
Rinse posole in cold water until water runs clear. Soak for several hours
or overnight in cold water. Place posole with water to cover in large heavy
covered pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and summer,
covered, till posole pops, about 1 hour. Roasat the peppers (if fresh) in a
paper bag in a 4000 oven for about 10 minutes , remove, cool, peel (skin
slips off easily). If using canned posole (about 8 cups) or frozen (3 lbs),
omit the cooking step. Add everything but the herbs and salt. Simmer,
covered, 4 hours. (3 if using canned or frozen hominy). Remove meat, shred,
return to pot, add herbs. Taste for seasoning, add salt to taste. Simmer,
covered, 1 more hour.

This recipe is from Marilyn Yazzie, Navajo, Tsenjikini (honeycombed rock)


mother's clan, Tachiinnii (Red runs into the water) Father's clan. She
favors using only fresh chiles, and likes it hot. She uses lean pork and no
salt, for health reasons. If you're not so sure about fiery southwestern
foods, use only 1 jalapeno, or use only mild green chiles, no jalapenos.
This and many others can be found in Spirit of the Harvest: North American
Indian Cooking (see main RECIPES page, cookbooks section).

Because we don't have the taste for such hot foods up north here as they do
in the southwest, when I make this posole I omit the jalapenos entirely,
and added the cilantro to Marilyn's recipe. I cook up a bowl of hotter
sauce for those who like it, and serve a (small) bowl of chopped jalapenos
on the side for the real cast-iron gullets among us. I probably never will
make the 2-day posole on the IHS server (seems kind of like you either have
to live on a rach or in a sururban house with a backyard barbeque), but
I've made Marilyn's many times, once 10 times the amount (in 4 pots) for a
large crowd.

POT ROAST GEESE

1 goose
1 some onions and garlic
1 salt, pepper
1 worchestershire sauce
1 oil
1 chopped onions, garlic,
1 celery

Finely chop up some onions and garlic. About as small as you can.
Season it with salt, pepper and whistacher (how do you spell that!)
sauce. Make slits in the front of the goose breast next to the
wishbone down the length of the breast. Stuff the onions and garlic
mixture into the slits.

Place enough oil in the pot you plan to pot roast the goose so that
the oil is about 1/4&quot; deep. Bring the oil to heat then place the
goose in the oil and sear it all around. This will help keep the
moisture in the goose.

Once the goose is seared remove from the oil and then add coursely
chopped onions, garlic, celery (and anything else you would like in
the gravy) to the oil. Saute the vegtables for a while. Once the
onions start to soften and turn clean, replace the goose and add
water. Once the water starts to boil, reduce heat to low and cover.

Every 20 minutes or so, check on the goose. Add water often and baste
the goose every time. Also turn goose every other basting.

Slow wet heat is very important to how this dish will turn out. Do
not add too much water at first and DO NOT LET WATER BOIL OUT. Keep
adding a little water every so often.

How long will it take to cook. A long time (3 hours or more)! The
goose will be done when you can stick a fork into the breast and
flake the meat out.

Well worth the cooking time (IMO)!!!

in the casserole. Brown the meat on all sides with the carrot and
onion.

2. Lightly season the meat, add the thyme, bayleaf and wine, heat to a
gentle simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour, turning the meat over
halfway through the cooking time, remove from the liquid, cover with

Mix the soft butter, plain flour, mustard powder and nutmeg together
to form a paste and whisk this in gradually so that the sauce
thickens slightly and takes on a glossy appearance. Check the
seasoning, add the lemon juice and cook for a further 3-4 minutes
before serving.

POW-WOW SOUP LAKOTA STYLE

By: Glenn Brave

short ribs
beef boulion
dried corn
onion
carrots
celery
pepper mill pepper
salt
olive oil or canola oil
worcestershire sauce
potatoes or wide egg noodles

from the Black Hills of South Dakota


Oglala Lakota, Pine Ridge Reservation, Jug and LaVina Brave ... who learned
this from My Mother, LaVina
Soak the dried corn for a couple of hours before cooking to soften it so it
will finish cooking when the soup is done.
Fill pot with fresh cold water and add dried corn and two or three beef
boulion cubes and start to heat water to a boil.
Trim any large pieces of fat from short ribs and discard. Cut meat into
bite
size cubes. Save bones. Stew meat can be used as an alterntive in this
recepit, but short ribs offer superior taste and texture.
Heat skillet and add olive or canola oil then add diced short ribs and also
throw in bones. Add three or four dashes of worcestershire sauce and fry
meat
until it browns and is about half done. Just before removing meat from
skillet
add onions to pan and saute the onions for a couple minutes to enhance the
flavor.
When meat is browned and onions are complete add to pot of water and bring
to
boil. Be sure to add the bones to the soup as they make for a rich broth. I
purposly leave some meat on the bones because I like to eat the meat
directly
off the bones.
At this time add tomatoes. Be careful not to add to many tomatoes as you
don\'t want a soup with a strong tomato taste, only a very slight hint of
tomatoes
taste. When I cook soup for my family of three I only add two of the
tomotoes
from the can. And don't add the tomatoe juice from the can.
Dice celery and carrots and add to the soup pot.
Salt and pepper to taste. I normally go heavy on the pepper. Don\'t be
afraid
to add enough salt to soup pot, that way your not constantly adding salt to
your bowl of soup as you are eating.
Cover pot and and lower the temperature to bring soup to a simmer and cook
for an hour or two or until the dried corn is tender and meat is done.
About thirty minutes before soup is finished cooking, peel and quarter
potatoes and add to soup pot and cook until potatoes are cooked. You can
Page 1026

cook the
potatoes or noodles in a seperate pot if necessary and add to soup bowls
when
serving.

PRARIE DOG

By: Guh Stoo

recipe

When I was 15 (1965), I stayed with an uncle who asked me to go hunt some
prarie dogs to eat. I thought he was kidding, but when he gave me the
single shot .22 I realized he was serious. I returned with 8 P Dogs and
this is how it was prepared. PDog was; 1. Gutted and singed clean of body
hair (fur?). 2. Diced potatoes, onions, chili, and assorted veggies which
were prepared in a paste-like manner were inserted into the PDog abdominal
cavity. 3. Laid out in head-to-toe fashion in a gunny-sack like
material(wet). 4. A small pit 2ft x 1ft x 8 inches was dug under a open
fire which had been already buring while the preparations were made. 5.
PDogs were placed in the pit and covered with earth, and a fire built over
it again. Approximatly 3 hours later,.... YUMMMMMIEEEE. Contrary to the
proverbial common saying, '......IT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN', it tasted like
Porcipine.

PROVENCAL STYLE VENISON DAUBE

1 1/2 cup dry white wine, dry white


1 vermouth or red wine
1/4 cup brandy
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 several grinding of fresh
1 black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme or sage
2 crumbled bay leaves
4 cloves of smashed garlic
2 cup thinly sliced onions
2 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 garlic and anchovy sauce
1 enrichment:
10 flat anchovy filets packed
1 in olive oil
2 tablespoon capers, drained
3 tablespoon wine vinegar
3 tablespoon olive oil, from the anchovy
1 can
1/4 cup finely minced parsley

Put the venison cubes into a large, non-reactive bowl (glass or


ceramic) and add all the marinade ingredients, mixing well. Cover and
marinate at room temperature for 3 hours or 6 hours or longer in the
refrigerator. Turn the meat occasionally in the marinade.

1/2 pound lean bacon, cut into slices 1 inch wide, 1/4 inch thick, and
2 inches long 1 1/2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms (about 6 ounces) 1
1/2 pounds of ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, juiced and chopped (or
use drained, peeled fresh pack tomatoes) You need about 2 1/4 cups
of tomato pulp About one cup of all purpose flour on a large square of
wax paper 1 to 2 cups of beef stock (preferably home made)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Blanch the bacon in simmering water for
about 10 minutes. Drain and dry the bacon. Remove the venison from
the marinade and dry with paper towels. Line the bottom of an
ovenproof casserole with a few strips of the bacon. Strew some of the
marinade vegetables, some mushrooms, some tomato over the bacon. Roll
the venison pieces in the flour, shake off the extra flour and place
the venison on top of the vegetables. Cover the venison with a few
slices of the bacon and again strew vegetables over this. Continue
layers vegetables, beef, and bacon. End with a layer of vegetables
and 2 or 3 strips of bacon. Pour the liquid from the marinade over
this. Add enough beef stock to almost cover the contents of the
casserole. Bring up to a simmer on the range and then cover and place
in the oven. Regulate the heat so that the daube will simmer gently
for 2 1/2 hours. Remove and add the following:

Garlic and Anchovy Sauce enrichment

Mash the anchovy and capers together into a paste. Beat in the other

ingredients. (You may do all of this in a food processor.) Skim the


daube of fat. Pour on this anchovy enrichment and baste the venison
with the sauce. Cover the casserole and return to the oven until the
meat is tender or for a least another 30 minutes to give the
enrichment a chance to meld with the daube. Serve the daube with
parslied new potatoes, rice, noodles, or lots of sourdough baguettes.

PROVENCAL STYLE VENISON STEW

6 oz olive oil
1 sliced carrot
1 sliced onion
1/2 head of celery, cut into one
1 inch chunks
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup wine vinegar
4 or 5 stalks of parsley
4 shallots
3 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bayleaves
1 teaspoon rosemary
6 black peppercorns
1 salt
1 for stew:
3 lb venison roast, cut into
1 large slices
2 tablespoon bacon fat
1/2 cup fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary
1 oregano, marjoram)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 lb bacon cut into cubes
3 carrots
3/4 lb pitted black & green olives
1 salt and pepper
4 chopped tomatoes

Heat oil, add vegetables, allow to brown lightly. Add wine and other
marinade ingredients to the browned vegetables. Simmer for 30
minutes. Permit to cool and then use as a marinade.

For Stew:

Marinate the venison in the marinade for at least 24 hours.

Remove the venison from the marinade, reserving it, and saute the
meat in the bacon fat, cooking both sides. Put the meat in an
ovenproof casserole. Pour the marinade over it. Add a bit more wine
if necessary. Add the fresh herbs, the garlic, the bacon, the carrots
and the olives. If the olives are salty, you probably won't need more
salt.

Cover the meat with tin foil. Put the lid on the casserole. Bake in
a slow oven (about 275 degrees F) for at least 3 hours, or until meat
is tender. Ten minutes before serving, defat the sauce and add the
tomatoes.

Serve with lots of egg noodles, dressed with a bit of olive oil and
parmesan cheese and a ladle of sauce from the stew.

If you prefer, you may use red wine in the marinade rather than white

PUERCO ENTOMATADO - YUCATAN

3 pounds pork, cut into 1' cubes


6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups water
12 fresh tomatillos, husks removed (should e; qual about half the
volume of pork)
3 fresh green serrano chiles, whole
additional water for simmering toma; tillos and chiles
1 bunch fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
optional: 2 or 3 small zucchinis (m; exican zucchinis, aka
calabazitas, preferred.) (should be; slightly less than the v
tomatillos.)
serve with: corn tortillas crumbl

Place the pork, half of the chopped garlic and 2 cups water in a
large saucepan (or in a pot.) Simmer uncovered, stirring
occasionally, until about 1/2 cup of water remains.

Meanwhile, in a small pot or pan with a lid, place the tomatillos


and whole serranos. Add water to cover (actually, they will float,
but you want enough water so they aren't resting on the bottom.)
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, cover and let it simmer for about 20
minutes. Remove the tomatillos and serranos from the water (be
careful, as they will be hot,) remove stems from serranos (if
present,) and place in a blender. Also add the cilantro, the
remaining garlic, and the white onion to the blender. Blend until
smooth.

If using calabazitas/zucchinis, trim the ends, halve them


lengthwise, and cut into 1' long pieces. Place the pieces on top of
the pork (when only 1/2 cup of water remains with the pork.)

Pour the tomatillo mixture over the pork. Stir, bring back to a
simmer, and reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally,
about 30 minutes more, or until the sauce reaches the desired
consistency/concentration. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

This makes delicious soft tacos. Serve hot with warm corn tortillas,
crumbled white Mexican cheese (queso fresco or similar,) and white
rice (optional.)

Note: I recommend heating the tortillas separately on a hot


griddle/comal, and keep them wrapped in a small towel in a tortilla
warmer. This gives a much better result than microwaving them.

PUMPKIN PINE NUT BREAD - MODERN

2 c. all purpose flour


1/2 c. oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. milk
2 c. cooked pumpkin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. pine nuts, roasted

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a


medium size bowl, mix eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Mix well, then add
pumpkin. Mix well and folk into dry ingredients. Add pine nuts. Pour
batter into 2 greased 5x9-inch loaf pans and bake for 45 minutes.

The pine nuts generally taste better if, before they're added to the mix,
you put them on a ungreased cookie sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes
at about 350-400 degrees. It roasts them a little.

PUMPKIN SOUP SERVED IN INDIVIDUAL ROASTED PUMPKINS

6 small (6 to 7 inches in diameter)


1 unblemished pumpkins
1 medium pumpkin (10 to 11 inches in
1 diameter)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cloves
2 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshlyground black pepper
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or
1 pureed
1 yukon gold potato, peeled
1 and diced
6 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup cream, creme fraiche or sour
1 cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the small pumpkins as though you
were making jackolanterns, cutting off and reserving top, scooping
out seeds and reserving, but stopping short of carving the face. Set
aside. Repeat preparation with the medium pumpkin, then cut it into
wedges along its natural grooves. Peel each wedge with a sharp swivel
peeler. Cut flesh into 2-inch chunks and set aside. In a small bowl
combine ground spices with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Sprinkle this mixture into pumpkin cavities, dividing evenly. Cut 1
tablespoon butter into bits and divide between pumpkins. Replace
pumpkin tops and place pumpkins in a shallow roasting pan. Roast 30
to 40 minutes until tender when pierced with a knife but still
intact. Remove from oven and set aside.

While pumpkins are roasting, prepare the soup: Heat remaining butter
along with olive oil over mediumhigh heat in large pot or Dutch oven
until foamy. Add onions and remaining salt and pepper and cook 5
minutes until softened and begin to color. Add garlic and cook 1
minute to release flavor. Add diced potato, chunked pumpkin flesh and
stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes until
potatoes and pumpkin are completely soft. Pass soup through a food
mill fitted with the fine blade into a clean pot. Whisk in cream,
taste and adjust seasoning and set aside.

Roasted pumpkins and soup should be done at about the same time. To
serve, remove tops from pumpkins and use a melon baller to scoop
balls of pumpkin flesh, leaving them in their respective pumpkins.
Carefully ladle soup into each pumpkin, filling about 2/3 full.
Replace pumpkin tops, place each pumpkin on a plate, and serve.

QUAIL WITH CRAWFISH DRESSING

1 braces of quail
3 cup stock of crawfish
1 shells/heads, onion, garlic,
1 carrots and water.
1 pan of cornbread
1 cup onion
1 1/2 cup red bell pepper
1 cup celery
1 clove garlic
1 stick of butter
1 lb crawfish tail meat
1 spice mixtures:
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon red pepper (cayenne)
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves

Okay, here's one of my favorite quail recipies:

You'll need a brace of quail per person. Pluck and draw the birds;
don't even think about skinning them.

Crawfish Dressing:

You'll need about three or four cups of stock. I make my stock from
scratch using crawfish shells/heads, onion, garlic, carrots and
water. Use about six cups of water to make 3 cups of stock. Bring
ingredients to a boil and simmer until reduced to 3 to 4 cups. NOTE:
you can use can chicken or duck stock if you can't find whole
crawfish (many places will sell you the cleaned tails in a vacuumed
packed packages). Also, heaven forbid, you could use a canned chicken
broth if you don't want to make a stock.

You'll need to run this mixture through a strainer to finish the


stock. It probably wouldn't taste to good with a mess of crawfish
shells in it ;-)

To make the dressing you will need cornbread. So bake it or buy it. I
can't really tell you how much exactly. I use as much as it takes to
absorb the liquids. I make a 9 inch cast-iron skillet's worth. I also
use white cornbread but it doesn't really matter that much.

Now that you have your stock and cornbread here is how you make it.

Chop the following: onion bell pepper (I use red ones) celery garlic
Make the spice mixture. Melt a stick of butter in a large skillet.
saute veggies in butter until tender. add spice mixture to veggies
add the three cups of stock and simmer a few minutes longer.

Add crawfish (between a half to a full pound of tail meat). Simmer


Page 1042

about five minutes.

with a slotted spoon, remove all veggies and crawfish and place into
a food processor or blender. lightly process (I usually don't over
do it here. I like to have small bits of crawfish in the dressing).

Return processed mixture to the stock. Use crumbled cornbread to


absorb the liquid.

Stuff the quail with the dressing and baste with butter. Roast birds
at 325 degrees, basting as often as needed. Roast time is dependent
upon number of birds. Once the skin turns a light golden brown, check
by trying to seperate one of the tiny little legs from the quail. If
it pulls from the side easily it's done. Explaining when a roasted
bird is done is hard for me to do. It's just something you gotta know.

Serve this with the remainder of the crawfish stuffing and a what ever
veggies you desire.

One other note of importance: Crawfish are not in season during the
start of quail season so use this recipie later in the season. It's
a cold weather dish anyhow. One other thing, do *not* substitute
shrimp for crawfish; they're completely different tasting crustaceans.

1 salt (to taste)
1 pepper, white (to taste)
3 bay leaves

2 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoon butter

Heat the peanut oil in a skillet and dust the rabbit with flour.

fats that accumulate.

Add onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, flour, salt, pepper, bay


leaves, and tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the wine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Bake the rabbit in your oven for 45 minutes.

Remove the rabbit and thicken the sauce with the beurre manie
(you know that fancy chefs have to have fancy names ... this is a
"roux".) For the beurre manie, simply melt the butter in a saute pan,
add the flour and then cook over medium heat for a minute or two to
take the "floury" flavor out of the mix.

Pour the sauce over the rabbit and serve.

RABBIT COOKED IN BLACK OLIVE PASTE WITH .....

1 rabbit cooked in black olive


1 paste with pepperoni in
1 bagna cada.

2 to 3 cloves garlic, peeled and bruised


2 teaspoons juniper berries
1 tablespoon fresh oregano salt and freshly ground pepper to
taste
140 ml olive oil
60 ml balsamic vinegar 2 rabbits (farmed or wild), cleaned and
jointed 2 1/4 cups Campbell's Chicken Consomme
2 1/4 cups water
160 g black olive paste
200 g pancetta, diced roughly 1 bunch baby leeks, cleaned and
cut in 4cm pieces 2 to 3 fresh bay leaves 300g jar of pepperoni in
bagna caoda*

In a bowl, combine the garlic, juniper berries, oregano, salt,


pepper, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar.
Place the rabbit pieces in a shallow, non corrosive vessel, pour over
the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours. Whisk
together the chicken consomme, water and black olive paste. Heat the
remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat, quickly brown the
pancetta and the leeks, and transfer them to a casserole. Saute the
rabbit pieces in the frying pan until brown, turning them once or
twice, and transfer them to the casserole. Pour the olive paste
mixture over the rabbit, add the bay leaves and season to taste. Cook
in a preheated 180"C oven for 1 hour, basting the pieces every 15
minutes, until the rabbit is tender, (Farmed rabbit cooks more
quickly than wild rabbit. When cooked, the juices should run just
clear; overcooked rabbit will be tough and dry) Ten minutes before
the rabbit is cooked, add the bottled pepperoni. Remove the
casserole from the oven, skim off any excess surface oil and serve
the rabbit immediately in soup bowls, with plenty of bread to mop up
the juices. Sue Fairlie-Cuninghame *Imported by Enoteca Sileno,

rabbit for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Remove the rabbit from the pan and set aside. Add the onions to the
bacon fat and saute for 2 minutes.

M's note: this really is a fairly nice recipe, although I wouldn't


call it coq au vin (cuisses de lapin au vin perhaps) and probably
wouldn't thicken the sauce as much. And would certainly not use milk.
And would leave the bacon in to get nice and soft, none of this
crispy nonsense.

RABBIT ROASTED WITH SWEET FENNEL

5 cloves garlic, peeled


2 inch sprig fresh rosemary
1 or
1 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bulbs fresh fennel, cored,
1 cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 large onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch
1 wedges
3 oz pancetta (unsmoked italian
1 bacon), minced
1 teaspoon fennel seed, coarsely
1 ground
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fennel
1 tops
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 vegetable broth
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock

1. The night before cooking, rinse and dry the rabbit pieces. Use a
mortar and pestle or a knife on a cutting board to make a paste of 2
garlic cloves, the rosemary, salt and pepper. Rub the paste over the
rabbit pieces. Put them on a plate, cover lightly with plastic wrap
and refrigerate. 2. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Have ready a
shallow roasting pan large enough to hold the rabbit in a single
layer, with space for the vegetables. Arrange the rabbit pieces in
the pan. Dab the rabbit pieces with any seasoning rub that may have
been left on the plate. Scatter the fennel, onion, pancetta,
remaining 2 cloves garlic, fennel seed and half the fennel tops over
the rabbit. Sprinkle with the olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper.
Roast 30 minutes, basting often with the pan juices. Pour in 1/2 the
broth and roast another 1 hour. Baste often, turning the pieces
occasionally. Add a little water to the pan if the pan is dry. 3.
Increase the heat to 450 degrees, cook until the rabbit is golden
brown, about 10 minutes. Turn the rabbit and vegetable pieces and
roast until golden on the other side, basting once with the pan
juices, about 10 minutes. 4. Transfer the rabbit and vegetables to a
heated platter and keep them warm in the turned off oven with the
door open. Quickly make a pan sauce by setting the roasting pan over
two stove burners turned to high. Add remaining 1/4 cup broth and the
stock. Scrape up the brown glaze from the bottom of the roasting pan
as the liquids boil down by about half, 3 to 5 minutes. Scatter the
remaining fennel leaves over the rabbit. Pass the sauce with the
rabbit at the table.

RABBIT SHORTCAKE

----DOUGH----
4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 scant teaspoons sugar
2 cup heavy cream
----RABBIT----
1 large rabbit (about 5 pounds)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour salt and freshly; milled black pepper
12 shallots, halved
1 cup fresh cranberries
4 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inc; h julienne
----SAUCE----
1 cup dry vermouth
2 cup brown sauce, reduced to 1 cup
3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 nutmeg
1 salt
1 pepper, black
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

For the dough: In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients
and fold in the cream. Cover in waxed paper and chill until needed
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

The Rabbit: Cut the rabbit into small serving pieces. Remove all of
the fat and place it in a shallow ovenproof casserole. Place in the
hot oven to render the fat. Season the flour with salt and pepper and
dredge the rabbit pieces in it. Pour the rendered fat into a large
heavy skillet set over moderate heat. When the fat is hot, add the
shallots and rabbit pieces and cook until browned on all sides.
Transfer the rabbit and shallots to the shallow casserole. Add the
cranberries and parsnip julienne.

The sauce: Remove any excess fat from the skillet, and place it over
moderate heat. Add the vermouth and deglaze the pan, scraping up the
browned bits that cling to the bottom. Add the reduced brown sauce,
sour cream, heavy cream and honey mustard. Blend well and simmer.
Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook the sauce until
reduced slightly and pour over the rabbit. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Assemble the shortcake. Either spoon the dough over the rabbit and
sauce to cover, or on a floured surface, use your fingers to pat out
the dough 1./2 inch thick, shaped to fit the casserole, and set the
dough in place. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden and serve.

6 small carrots; scraped and
1 coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon thyme; dried
2 teaspoon parsley; finely chopped
2 small bay leaves
1/2 cup port
3 tablespoon red currant jelly

NOTES : Surprisingly, Time Life did not provide an oven setting for
this recipe. I would imagine that the usual 350 F. would be fine.
This recipe is traditionally accompanied by Forcemeat Balls.

Combine the wine, olive oil, sliced onion, juniper berries, bay leaf,
rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and a few gringings of black
pepper in a large bowl. Wash the rabbit under cold running water, pat
it thoroughly dry with paper towels and place it in the bowl. turn
the pieces about with a spoon until thoroughly coated with the
marinade, cover the bowl and marinate the rabbit for at least 6 hours
at room temperature or 12 hours in the refridgerator. In either case,
turn the peices about in the marinade occasionally to keep them well
moistened.

Drain the rabbit in a colander set over a bowl. Reserve the liquid,
but discard the onion and the herbs. pat the pieces of rabbit
completely dry with paper towels, then coat them with the flour,
shaking each piece vigorously to remove the excess.

In a heavy 5 qrt flameproof casserole, cook the bacon over moderate


heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and brown. With a slotted
spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add the rabbit to
the fat remaining in the casserole and brown it (in two batches, if
necessary ) turning the piece s with tongs and regulating the heat so
that the rabbit colors quickly and evenly on all sides without
burning. As the pieces brown transfer them from the casserole to a
plate.

Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from casserole, add the
shallots, celery and carrots, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the
Page 1074

vegetables are soft but not brown. Pour in the reserved marinade and
the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat, meanwhile
scraping in any brown particles clinging to the bottom and sides of
the casserole. Add the thyme, parsley, bay leaves, teaspoon of salt
and a few grindings of pepper, and return the rabbit and bacon to the
casserole.

Cover tightly and bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour. Stir in
the port and the currant jelly, cover again, and bake for 30 minutes
longer or until the rabbit is tender but not falling apart. (If you
are substituting small rabbits they may cook much faster. Watch
carefully that they do not overcook.) Taste and correct seasoning.

Serve the rabbit directly from the casserole. It may be accompanied by


forcemeat balls.

RABBIT WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

1 mm format by helen peagram


3 lb rabbit -- cut into pieces
750 ml red wine -- cotes du rhone
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 whole salt -- to taste
1 ground pepper -- to taste
40 cloves garlic -- unpeeled
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme -- or 4 sprigs
1 fresh
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary -- or 1 sprig
1 fresh
1 garlic croutons -- recipe
1 follows
1 fresh parsley -- chopped

The day before you wish to serve this, place the rabbit in a GLASS
bowl and pour on the red wine. Cover and refrigerate overnight,
turning the pieces once. An hour before cooking, remove the rabbit
from the wine, and pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed flameproof


casserole. Add the rabbit and salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes,
then turn the pieces over and saute another 5 minutes. This can be
done in batches. Don't worry if the pan scorches a bit; it won't
affect the flavor of the dish. Remove from the pot.

Add the garlic and saute, stirring, for 5 minutes, until beginning to
brown. Spread in a single layer and return rabbit pieces to the pot.
Add the red wine, thyme, rosemary, and more salt and pepper to taste,
and cover tightly.

Place the pan in the oven and bake 1 hour or until the rabbit pieces
are falling away from the bone.

When the rabbit is very tender, remove pieces and the garlic and
place on a platter. Place the pot over high heat and reduce the wine
until thick. Pour over rabbit. Sprinkle with parsley and serve,
placing a couple of croutons on each plate, a piece of rabbit or two,
and several garlic cloves, which are to be squeezed out onto the
croutons.

CROUTONS: Slice French Baguette very thin (1/4-1/2 inch) and brush
slices with olive oil. Place on a cookie sheet and toast a few
minutes in 350 degree oven. This can be done while sauteing rabbit.

3 tablespoon wine vinegar
2 bay leaves salt pepper
1 tablespoon dried sage

In 7th century England, herbs were one of the few flavourings


available to cooks and were used heavily...

Melt the butter in a heavy pan and fry the meat with the leeks and
garlic till the vegetables are slightly softened and the meat lightly
browned. Add the barley, water, vinegar, bay leaves and seasoning.
bring the pot to the boil, cover it and simmer gently for 1 - 1 1/2
hours or till the meat is really tender and ready to fall from the
bone. Add the sage and continue to cook for several minutes. Adjust
the seasoning to taste and serve in bowls-- the barley will serve as
a vegetable.

RABBITS & PHEASANTS COOKING APACHE STYLE

1 rabbits
1 pheasants
1 other game

The Indians would dig a trench in the bank of the stream and built a
fire in it. The ditch was a foot deep and they laid out the fire along
the 3 foot length. The length of it depends of how many rabbits or
pheasants one has to cook. The more game the longer the trench.

They burned the scrub growth & downed the dead brush along the banks
of the stream, concentrating on drift woods that had caught on small
trees.

When there was a good bed of coals in the bottom of the ditch, they
laid in the birds and rabbits. Both had been cleaned but not picked or
skinned. They were rolled in a thick gooey mud made from the stream
bed and when all were laid on the coals, the dirt was pushed back in
until the rabbits and pheasants were entirely covered. &quot;In an
hour that will be some of the best tasting meat you've ever eaten
said the Apache scout.&quot;

An hour later the Indians dug out the rabbits and pheasants, stripped
off feathers and skin.

RACCOON AND BEAVER MORSELS > BUCK PETERSON

----ROAST ROCKY RACCOON----


1 raccoon
1 favorite dressing (optional)
----BEAVER TAIL----
1 beaver tail
1 water
2 tablespoon vinegar
1 beaten egg
1 bread crumbs
----BEAVER TAIL WITH NOODLES----
1 beaver tail
2 quart boiling water
1 carrots, onions, celery
1 egg noodles
1 can peas; drained

RACCOON:
Buck met his first garbage can dweller emptying 55-gallon drums of
tourist trash in a county park in northern Michigan. It proved to be a
feast of no small proportions--it's flat out delicious when roasted.
Make sure you get those scent glands off from under the front legs
and thighs.

The famous recipe is: Roast Rocky Raccoon


Cook the clean carcass in the oven for about 3 hours in a slow oven
(300 deg. F) Baste frequently with drippings every 30 minutes. Make
gravy from the drippings. Season and serve with yams.

Mother Nature's "Special" Animals


There are a number of God's creatures that have the misfortune of
being ugly, smelly, greasy, dangerous, fish- eating, skin-covered
garbage bags. Some of these are thought to be eaten only by members
of inferior races and low economic classes. This is not just and this
cookbook will put these tasty morsels within reach of all of us.
The top seven contenders are the beaver, muskrat, opossum, porcupine,
badger, wolverine, and skunk. These animals may need special
handling, both at the time of purchase and during preparation.

Roadside
Many of these animals have stink glands, usually under their
forelegs and along the small of their back. They must be removed.
Remove all fat, cleaning the carcass carefully so no glands are
ruptured on the good meat.

Home
Many gourmets would soak a carcass overnight in salt water. Young
animals won't need more than 8 hours in the tub, while old critters
could stand a 24-hour soak. Some would add a cup of vinegar and a
pinch of salt to each quart of water.

Beaver
This friendly vegetarian is prized by old trappers and reprobates.
Page 1095

The small yearlings are so tender when cooked properly that all
you'll need is a spoon. On Bucky Beaver, Take care to remove all the
fat and musk glands or castors just under the skin in front of the
genitals. Soak the critter overnight and then cook it is as you would
a large bird. If, However, your furry friend had its castors and
cajones unproperly stirred by a Toyota 4X4, you have just one good
option left:

BEAVER TAIL:
Skin the tail and wash it well. Cover in a pot with water and a
couple tablespoons of vinegar. Cook until tender. Drain and cut into
slices like a London Broil. Dip slices in beaten egg and roll in
bread crumbs. Fry until golden brown.

BEAVER TAIL WITH NOODLES:


Or instead of cutting into slices, cut into chunks. Add to 2 quarts
of boiling water. Add carrots, celery, onions and cook until
vegetables are done.

Or Add chunks to your favorite pea soup or baked beans. P. S. I've


never known anyone who has tried this.

RACK OF VENISON WITH APPLE AND SZECHUAN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

3 tablespoon vegetable oil


1 whole 9 rib rack farm raised
1 venison (??? udd)
1 salt and freshly ground
1 black pepper to taste
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 tart apples (such as granny
1 smith),
1 cored and sliced into
1 eighths
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoon szechuan peppercorns,
1 toasted and crushed
1/2 cup game stock or chicken stock
3 tablespoon sweet butter

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot. Season the
venison with salt and pepper and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on all
sides. Remove the venison from the skillet and place in a roasting
pan. Pour off and discard the oil from the skillet.

Over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. When
the foaming of the butter subsides, add the apples and saute until
they begin to caramelize, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and the
vinegar and cook another 1 to 2 minutes to reduce the vinegar by
half. Add the wine and Szechuan peppercorns, cook for 2 minutes
before adding the stock. Return to a boil, and reduce the stock for
another minute. Keep the sauce warm while the venison finishes
cooking. When ready to serve swirl the butter into the sauce.

Place the venison in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes,


until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees for
medium rare. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing
into chops. Serve two chops per person, with some of the apple
peppercorn sauce ladled over each serving.

RAGIN' RABBIT

1 cajun ragin' rub


1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
2 rabbits (2.5 lbs. each)
1 quartered
1 tablespoon canola/corn oil
1 tablespoon creole mustard

Combine the dry rub. Massage the meat with oil and mustard, and
sprinkle with rub. Place the meat in covered, shallow glass dish (or
other smokeproof dish) and refridge for 2-3 hours.

Prepare the smoker getting the temp to 220 or so.

Remove rabbit from fridge and let sit for 30 minutes in the covered
dish.

Cut a yard-long section of cheesecloth and dampen with water.


Uncover the dish and drape the cheesecloth (folder to several
thicknesses) over the dish.

Transfer the cheeswecloth-covered dish to the smoker, and Q for 1.25


hours. During that time, everytime you add wood chips/chunks, wet
down the cheesecloth again. The cheescloth will brown but won't burn
if kept moist.

Then remove and discard cheesecloth. Continue cooking until the meat
is cooked thru but still juicy... another 15-20 minutes. Serve right
away to 5-6 folks.

NOTE: No cheesecloth is needed in a water smoker or Cookshack oven.

RARE BREAST OF DUCK LACQUERED WITH SPICED HONEY

4 boneless moscovy hen duck


1 breasts (7-8 oz each)
1/2 cup orange blossom honey
1/2 cup zinfandel port wine
3 whole clove
1/2 stick whole cinnamon
3 allspice
1 star anise
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
2 seed from green cardamom
1 juice and zest from 1 lime
1 juice and zest from 1 lemon
1 salt and pepper mill

1. Using a sharp knife, trim and remove the sinew and membrane from
the underside of the duck. With the skin side down trim off any
excess skin and fat from around the perimeter of the breast.

2. Flip over each breast and score the skin by cutting through the
skin without cutting the meat in diagonal lines ab

3. Place the honey and port wine in a non reactive pot and bring to a
simmer, making sure to skim off any impurities rising to the surface.
Reduce by exactly half.

4. When the honey/port mixture is reduced, add all the spices, juices
and zests. Let cool to room temperature. Strain.

5. Pre-heat oven to 425 F.

6. Place a sauté pan on a medium flame and season the duck breast
with salt and few turns of a pepper mill on both sides. When the pan
is hot place the breast skin side down and slightly reduce the heat.
The breast will immediately start to render its fat and prevent the
breast from sticking.

7. When the breasts are golden brown, turn them in the pan to remove
the visible rawness and remove from the pan when the breasts are
still very rare.

8. Brush the duck breasts on the skin side liberally with the spiced
honey and place in the oven to cook to a perfect medium rare (approx.
2 minutes) and allow the honey to take on a shiny, lacquered finish.
Allow to rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

9. Slice the duck breast into thin (1/4") pieces and fan out on a warm
plate.

This duck preparation works well in a salad with greens, or as an


entree. At Restaurant Sent Soví it is served with Sauteed Apples and
a Savory Fennel Cake.

RATTLESNAKE CHILE

1 rattler; 6-foot-long, kinned, bone


1 lb lean pork shoulder
15 oz mild roasted green chilies; canned or fresh roasted
4 cup onion; finely chopped
3 centiliter garlic; minced
1/2 lb bacon
2 tablespoon cornmeal
15 oz chopped tomatoes; undrained
4 tablespoon chili powder
5 jalapeno peppers
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1/2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 can kidney beans; 15oz
1 can pinto beans; 15oz
1 can black beans; 15oz
1/2 cup gold tequila

NOTE: Huntin' your own rattler is not recommended! Check with your
local butcher or specialty food store.

DIRECTIONS:

If you're using fresh chiles, roast, cool, peel, seed and chop to
yield about 1 1/2 cups. Test for spiciness: some chiles are hotter
than others, and you may not need to add this much. Set aside.

Fry the bacon until crisp, and set aside to cool. In a large soup pot,
saute the onions and garlic in about 2 Tbsp of the bacon drippings
until transparent. Add the cornmeal and chopped tomatoes with their
juice, the chopped green chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano and 1
cup of water. Simmer for half an hour.

Meanwhile, seed and chop the jalapeno peppers, (avoid touching the
seeds and take care not to rub your eyes). Add the chopped pepper and
1/2 cup of water to a blender and puree. Add about half the
water/pepper mix to the pot, saving the rest to be added to taste
later. Continue to simmer the chile base for another 15 minuttes.

Drain the beans and stir them into the pot. Remove about 1 1/2 cups
of the chile and puree in a blender with the peanut butter and
chocolate (these ingredients mellow the acidity of the chiles and
allow the flavors to come through, without imparting any of their own
flavor). Return to the pot.

Using another Tbsp or so of the bacon drippings, saute the diced


rattlesnack (or pork) until done. Chop the cooled bacon and add all
the meat to the chile. Simmer for another 1/2 hour, or until the meat
is tender. Add more water if necessary, and add more of the blended
jalapeno if the chile needs more kick. Salt to taste.
Page 1107

The tequila adds wonderful flavor to the chile... stir it in just


before serving, or let your guests add their own to taste. A little
goes a long way!! The chile can be served with grated cheddar
cheese, fresh chopped onion, sour cream and tortillas or corn bread.

RAYMOND'S BRAISED VENISON WITH A BITTER CHOCOLATE SAUCE

4 single 250g/9oz pieces of venison


1 shoulder
50 ml/2fl oz sunflower oil
1 salt and freshly ground
1 black pepper
1 for the marinade:
1 bottle 750ml/11/2 pint red
1 wine
8 juniper berries, crushed
12 black peppercorns, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 strip of orange peel
1 medium carrot, diced
1 large onion, peeled and roughly
1 chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 celery stick, chopped
1 for the sauce:
1 tablespoon tomato puree

1 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
30 g/11/2oz bitter chocolate,
1 grated
1 for the garnish (optional):
24 chestnuts, prepared and

and cover with the reduced wine and all the remaining marinade
ingredients. Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 24 hours. Preheat
the oven to 110C/225F/Gas1/2. Drain the venison and the vegetables
and pat them dry. Reserve the wine. In a non-stick pan, heat the
sunflower oil until smoking and sear and colour both pieces of
venison on all sides to a good deep brown. This operation will take
about 10 minutes. Transfer the venison pieces to a cast-iron
casserole.

In the oil remaining in the non-stick pan, colour the vegetables and
seasonings lightly, about 5 minutes, then transfer them to the
casserole with the venison. Add the tomatopuree to the non-stick pan
and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the reserved red wine from the
marinade, and bring to the boil. Pour over the venison, vegetables
and seasonings in the casserole, and barely cover with the water.
Season lightly with salt. Bring to the boil for 1 minute, skim, then
cover with a tight lid. Braise in the preheated oven for 3BD hours.

Strain the juices into a large saucepan and reduce on full heat to
about 300ml/10fl oz. Reduce the heat until the sauce barely simmers,
then add the redcurrant jelly. Correct the seasoning and finally,
whisk in the grated chocolate. Mix the venison and vegetables back

into the sauce, and re-heat gently. Add the chestnuts if using. You
may serve the venison from the casserole or transfer it to a nice
serving dish. Serve to your guests.

Cook meat in large nonaluminum Dutch oven until no longer pink. Stir
in remaining ingredients except cilantro. Simmer gently, partially
covered and stirring frequently, 40 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust
seasonings. Add cilantro at serving time.

This is adapted from a recipe used at the Heartland Cafe on Chicago's


north side. It uses dried, cooked beans although canned beans are a
fine short-order alternative. If desired, the chili can be served
with grated cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, tortillas or
crackers.

REHBRATEN

4 venison steaks (up to 5) -1/2 to 1; thick


1 box pickling spices
8 oz bottle italian dressing
1 cup tart red wine (to 2 cups)
1 meat tenderizer
1 flour
1 margarine
1 misc. vegetables (opt'l.)

Trim all cartilage from steaks (shoulder, round or rump roasts may be
used); cut steaks into "teriyaki" strips.

Make a marinade of the pickling spices, Italian dressing and red


wine. Lay venison strips in a flat shallow dish with enough marinade
to cover the meat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil
and place in the refrigerator. The marinating process must be at
cold temperature and the meat must be completely covered with the
marinade at all times.

After 3 or 4 days, take the meat out of the marinade, drain well, and
wipe with paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with a meat tenderizer.
Flour the meat on both sides and brown in margarine in an iron
skillet or Dutch oven.

Strain the marinade into a shallow baking dish. Add to meat and,
when it is simmering briskly, cover and continue cooking until meat
is tender, about 3 hours. Peek at it occasionally and if the gravy
cooks down, add more wine so that the meat is completely covered at
all times.

Onions, small potatoes, scallions, carrots and celery sticks may be


added if desired. These vegetables add a special zest to the other
vegetable you will have with the meal.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

REINDEER WITH JUNIPER BERRIES

1 shredded reindeer
1 chopped onions
1 forest mushrooms
1 salt & pepper
1 rosemary
1 crushed juniper berries
1 single cream
1 splash of dry sherry
1 pressed potatoes
1 rowanberry jelly

I fried shredded reindeer, moose and deer (hm, I guess it could be


substituted by some thinly sliced game. It won't be the same, but it
will probably be good) with chopped onions and forest mushrooms (I
used ?funnel chanterelles?, lat. Craterellus tubiformis), seasoned
them with salt&pepper rosemary and crushed juniper berries (there
they were!) and let it simmer for a few minutes in single cream and a
splash of dry sherry

It's probably best (and more traditionally correct) served with


pressed potatoes, but I had jasmine rice. And then some rowanberry
jelly

RICH VENISON AND MUSHROOM STEW

2 lb good stewing venison - (trimmed wei; ght)


1 onion
3/4 lb small flat mushrooms
2 1/2 fl oz red wine vinegar
2 1/2 fl oz water
3/4 pint (scant) beef or game stock
1 butter
1 oil
1 flour
1 sugar
1 bay leaves
----FOR THE FORCEMEAT BALLS----
8 oz fresh breadcrumbs
8 oz grated suet
2 lemons (grated zest only)
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large egg
3 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

Cut the venison into large chunks and marinate for about 24 hours in
the water and vinegar with 2 bay leaves and plenty of pepper.

Make the forcemeat mixture, seasoning it well and binding it with the
lightly beaten egg. Shape into 24 small balls, fry briskly until
golden- brown and crisp and reserve. Then fry the mushrooms hard in
a very little hot fat. Remove and reserve separately.

Drain and dry the meat well, reserving the marinade. Dust the
venison with well-seasoned flour and brown and seal in batches.
Transfer it to a 4 pint flameproof casserole; ideally this should be
no more than 8 inches in diameter across the top. Chop the onion
finely and fry gently. Sprinkle on 2 tablespoons flour, pour on the
marinade liquid and the stock over the meat and season with salt,
pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 2 bay leaves.

Bring to a bare simmer, cover tightly and cook over the lowest
possible flame (or in a low oven if you prefer) until the meat is
deliciously tender and the gravy is dark and rich. Shoulder meat may
need as little as 1 1/2 hours, lesser cuts of meat will need
considerably more. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. When
ready, remove the bay and check seasoning. Cool and refrigerate
overnight if not to be served on the same day.

To finish the dish, bring everything back to room temperature. Add


the prepared mushrooms to the stew, pushing them well down into the
gravy, then cover the surface with the forcemeat balls and bake -
without a lid to keep the forcemeat balls really crisp - at 400 F

ROAST CORN SOUP ('O' NANH-DAH) SENECA

By: Miriam Lee

12 ears white corn in milky stage


1 # salt pork (lean and fat)
1 # pinto or kidney beans

Using low heat, take corn and roast on top of range (using griddle
if your stove is equipped with one) and keep rotating corn until ears
are a golden brown. After the corn is roasted, take ears and put on foil
covered cookie sheet until cool enough to handle. Scrape each ear once
or twice with a sharp knife. Corn is ready for making soup. While corn
is being roasted, fill kettle (5 qt. capacity) approximately 3/4 full
with hot water and put on to boil along with salt pork which has been
diced in small pieces for more thorough cooking. Beans should be sorted
for culls, washed twice and parboiled for approximately 35-45 minutes.
After parboiling beans, rinse well in tepid water 2 or 3 times. Corn and
beans should then be put in kettle with pork and cooked for about 1
hour. (Note: Beans can also be soaked overnight to cut cooking time when
preparing soup).

ROAST DUCK #2

4 ducks, ready to cook


1 clove garlic -- split
1 salt and pepper
2 small cooking apples -- quartered
2 medium onions -- quartered
4 celery stalk tops
1/2 stick butter -- melted
8 slice bacon

Rub duck skin with garlic and sprinkle the birds inside and out with
salt and pepper. Fill cavities with the apples, onions and celery
tops. Cover breasts with bacon slices. Place birds, beast sides up,
in roasting pan and roast at 400 degrees until done. This varies
from as short as 20 minutes for rare up to an hour . Baste every 15
minutes with the butter. Remove cavity contents and serve with sauce
as desired, but do not prepare sauce from pan drippings.
Supposedly, the cavity filling absorbs the "wild" taste and most
folks don't like that.

ROAST DUCK BREAST WITH BALSAMIC AND APRICOT SAUCE

2 boneless duck breasts with


1 skin, halved
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 for sauce
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 tablespoon plus
1 teaspoon cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup tawny port
1 tablespoon brandy
1 cup duck-and-veal demiglace
1/3 cup julienne strips dried
1 apricot
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

At the restaurant the chef uses a rich duck stock when preparing this
dish. Duck-and-veal demiglace is substituted here. The duck breasts as
well as the demiglace are available at many butchers and specialty
foods shops.

Make sauce: In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan cook shallot in 1 teaspoon


butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Carefully
add Port and brandy and boil until reduced by half. Add demiglace and
simmer 5 minutes, or until reduced to about 2/3 cup. Pour sauce
through a fine sieve into a small bowl and return to pan. Stir in
apricot, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer sauce until
apricot is just heated through and stir in remaining tablespoon
butter.

Preheat oven to 4500 F. Put duck breasts, skin sides down, on a


cutting board. Using a sharp knife and following shape of breast,
trim all sinews, excess skin, and fat. With a fork carefully prick
skin all over without piercing meat. Heat an ovenproof cast-iron
skillet over moderately high heat until hot and add oil, swirling
skillet until coated evenly. Pat duck dry and season with salt and
pepper. Put duck, skin sides down, in skillet. Reduce heat to
moderate and cook duck until skin is deep golden, about 3 minutes.
Turn duck over and cook 2 minutes more. Remove duck from skillet and
pour off fat. Return duck, skin sides down, to skillet and roast in
middle of oven 5 minutes for medium-rare. Keep duck warm and reheat
sauce over low heat. Slice duck on the diagonal and serve with sauce.

ROAST GROUNDHOG [WOODCHUCK]

1 text file

You folks are all miss'n the big picture here. Become the top dog in
the food pyramid in your neighborhood. Goes something like this:

Sun feeds plants (which you plant, water, nurture, etc.)

Plants feed groundhogs

Groundhogs feed YOU.

Thats right - you are a predator (it's in your evolutionary heritage,


no sense denying it). Woodchucks (groundhogs) are just like miniature
cows - all they do is sit around feasting on [your] greens ALL DAY
LONG. Makes for mighty fine table fare.

Skin the critter, removing any excess fat from the meat (and
depending on how well your garden was growing, there might be quite a
bit!), and cook them the same as you would a roast.

I prefer to roast em for a couple hours with potatoes, carrots,


onions, celery, etc, etc. Add some seasoning and chile pepper to suit
your taste. I usually stuff the chest cavity with sliced apples.
There simply is not any finer eating to be had, and you'll have the
satisfaction of partaking in your natural role in nature's grand
scheme (and we ARE a part of it, despite what the peta, spca, hs, etc
wackos want to tell us).

Remember, you can't grill it 'til you kill it.

ROAST LEG OF VENISON OR CARIBOU

1 leg of venison or caribou; bone in


6 oz fat larding pork or
6 strips of bacon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger [opt'l] or
1/4 teaspoon allspice and
1 oregano leaves or
1 marjoram leaves or
1 sprigs of rosemary or
1 sage and garlic
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup butter; melted
2 cup meat stock; beef or venison
1 cup dry sherry; divided
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoon butter; melted
5 teaspoon dry red wine
1/4 tablespoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoon tart currant or cranberry jelly

Yes, this recipe uses both sherry and red wine together. If using
allspice, you can also add a pinch of cloves and substitute apple
cider for the wines. If using garlic and herbs, chianti is good.

Before being butchered, venison should hang in a cool place for at


least three or four days after the kill. Wipe it and dry well. Remove
all skin, membrane and sinews. Wrap and freeze until used.

Defrost the roast. Pre-heat oven to 450 F. The fat pork should be cut
into strips about 1/3" wide and 2" long. Then roll the pork strips in
seasonings and insert them in a larding needle. Pull the strips
through the meat at regular intervals, allowing the fat to show
outside the meat at both ends.

If no larding needle is available, use smoke-cured bacon draped over


the roast, sprinkle roast with the spices and herbs and cook at 275
F., 50 minutes per pound. Or better yet cut gashes in the roast about
2 inches apart and part way through the roast. Place in each gash a
pinch of herbs, a slice of bacon and optionally a slice of garlic.
Baste often.

Now rub the roast with oil and place it in a roasting pan. Pour the
melted butter over it. Put in oven and turn down heat to 300 F. Or,
more trouble but better, brown the meat on all sides in hot oil in a
skillet and then transfer the meat to the roasting pan and roast at
300.

Roast for 4 to 5 hours, or until meat is brown and very tender. It


should be basted every 15 minutes with a mixture of the meat stock and
half of sherry. At the end of the cooking time, remove the meat from
pan; skim off all the fat from the gravy.
Page 1138

Make a smooth paste of flour, butter and stock; add wine and orange
rind and stir in the gravy in the pan. Bring to a boil, stirring as
the gravy thickens. Add the rest of the sherry and the jelly. Now
finish the roast in a slow oven [250], basting frequently with the
completed gravy, for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Serve remaining gravy and more fruit jelly with the roast.

teaspoon of the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the chopped juniper
berries, pressing the seasonings into the meat. Set the loin on a
rack in a roasting pan and roast, basting frequently with the pan
juices, until medium-rare (about 135F on a meat thermometer), 25 to
30 minutes. Cover the venison loosely with foil and set aside for 10
to 15 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, remove and discard the bay
leaf and the lemon, orange and ginger slices from the cranberries. In
a food processor or blender, puree half the cranberries and half the

minutes. Remove from heat. Strain the reamining whole cranberrie and
add them to the sauce with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt,
pepper and chopped juniper berries. Swirl in the cold butter. Slice
the venison thinly (stir any juices into the sauce) and serve wtih

ROAST OF VENISON

By: Baroness von Hagen

1 venison roast
4 oz wine
2 carrots
2 potatoes
2 onions
1/4 stick butter
1/2 clove garlic
salt
black pepper
mushrooms (canned or fresh)

(This is adapted for today's kitchen. In the old


days, wild carrots, tubers, and chives replaced some
of the items...often maple sap--not thick syrup, just
the sap--could be used in lieu of wine)

Pre-heat oven to 325 F. Place venison roast in large


roasting pan (I use my dutch oven) Pour wine over
meat & let it to run over for basting.

Slice carrots in quarters lengthwise. Cut potatoes


into quarters. Place both in pan along with whole
onions & brush roast heavily with butter. (I use
olive oil sometimes & it works great) Finely mince
garlic & sprinkle evenly over meat. Add a pinch of
salt & dash of pepper as desired.

Allow 30 minutes roasting time for each pound of meat


to cook. Baste frequently with juices from the bottom
of the pan. AFter roast is cooked, & while oven is
hot, toss mushrooms in the pan. You can saute' fresh
mushrooms in the same pan as the juices on top of the
stove, if you prefer.

Stir mushrooms in juices a few minutes with the meat &


serve hot. I use more garlic than in this recipe, but
just wanted to give it as it was handed down to me.

ROAST PASSENGER PIGEONS

2 passenger pigeons
1/4 lb country ham, diced fine
3/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon sweet herbs
1 1/2 teaspoon mace
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup chestnuts
2 chicken livers plus those from pige; ons, cooked and chopped
2 teaspoon cinnamon

Roast and chop the chestnuts. Mix with ham, livers, parsley, one
teaspoon nutmeg, one teaspoon mace, and the sweet herbs. Stuff
pigeons with the mixture, packing tightly.

Truss birds with cotton cord. Coat hens with a mixture of butter and
remaining spices.

Cook on a spit or grate, turning every ten minutes, basting with


remaining butter, for about an hour to an hour and a quarter.

NOTE: This is an 18th Century recipe that may use squab or gamehen
for Passenger Pigeon, since the last Passenger Pigeon died in the
Cincinnati Zoo at the age of 20, in 1912. It was once the most
common bird in North America. Changes in the environment such as
removal of the forests and incessant hunting reduced the population
of these large doves, by the last quarter of the 19th Century to
small flocks that were no longer able to maintain their populations
due to pressure from man. The flocks at one time would literally
blacken the skies for hours as the pigeons passed above. The flocks
each contained many millions, perhaps billions, of birds. The
Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is tragically, extinct.

ROAST PIGEONS (HEIRLOOM)

1 method only

Pigeons lose their flavor by being kept more than a day after they are
killed. They may be prepared and roasted or broiled the same as
chickens; they will require from twenty to thirty minutes' cooking.
Make a gravy of the biglets or not, season it with pepper and salt,
and add a little flour and butter.

ROAST RABBIT OR HARE _LLB_

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon marjoram
4 lb to 5 lb dressed hare -or-
2 cottontails
1/4 lb salt pork; sliced
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 small onion; chopped
1/2 cup beef or chicken stock
1 tablespoon beach plum or red currant jelly
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pepper
1 teaspoon flour stirred with.......
2 tablespoon water

...Rabbits and especially the large hares look appetizing roasted


whole... ... In this recipe one may marinate hare for two to three
days with your favorite marinade. If you do marinate, use the
strained marinade instead of the wine and the vinegar.

: Mix the salt, pepper, and the two herbs and rub it all on and
inside the hare. Truss the front legs and in doing so, tie on slabs
of salt pork over the saddle [Note this step adds fat to help soften
the meat]. : In a shallow roasting pan, roast the hare uncovered
for about 30 minutes in a 450 degree F oven. Turn the oven down to
350 degrees and roast another 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the hare
and keep warm. : Place the roasting pan and contents over a medium
heat. Add the wine, vinegar, onion and stock and simmer for 10 to 12
minutes. Add the jelly, cream, pepper (taste for salt) and quickly
dissolve jelly. Stir in the flour and water paste and let it thicken
a bit before serving in a sauceboat.

ROAST SADDLE OF VENISON W/WILD RICE AND JUNIPER BERRIES

1 dried juniper berries


1 peppercorns
8 strips thick sliced bacon
1 basting marinade:
2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
2 cup cider

Stud the saddle of venison with juniper berries and peppercorns. Lay
the bacon strips over and secure with toothpicks. Stand the saddle on
a rack in a large Dutch oven or place on the grill with indirect
heat. Prepare the basting marinade by simmering the honey or maple
syrup in the cider in a small pan until it is well dissolved and
steaming. Roast, basting often, for 1 1/2 hours in a preheated medium
hot Dutch oven or on your grill with indirect heat. Cool the roast
for 20 minutes. Carve, serving one rib per portion. Serve on a bed of
wild rice, together with the pan drippings.

Can be cooked on a spit instead.. over a very slow open fire. I have
put my Dutch oven straight on the grill for this one also. P.S. This
is a Cree Indian recipe.... I have used gin when I could not find
juniper berries, gives the same flavor when mixed in the basting mix.

This recipe was submitted by Lee Custer. These gray-blue aromatic


berries were prized in Indian culture as a secret ingredient of so
many of their varied and succulent recipes. The distinctive flavors
of trout, elk, bear, and deer were enhanced with this woodsy
fragrance. Also a popular winter flavoring widely used in tea and
natural medicines as well as to add flavor to smoking mixtures.

ROAST WILD DUCK BY JUDY

4 ducks
2 tablespoon soda
4 apples
4 small onions
12 slice bacon
1 1/2 cup sherry
1 1/2 cup orange juice

Soak ducks for 2 hours in pan of water to which 2 Tbsp of soda has
been added. Preheat oven to 500 deg. Stuff cavities of ducks with
cut-up apples and onions (one apple and one onion per duck). Apples
and onions are not to be eaten; they are to absorb wild game taste.
Place 3 strips of bacon over the breast of each duck. Roast for 30
minutes in 500 deg. oven with little or no water. Cut heat back to
250 deg. and continue to cook for 30 minutes. Baste with sherry and
orange juice throughout the cooking process. For gravy, add one can
of mushrooms and a little butter to the juices left in the roaster.
Garnish with orange slices topped with currant jelly for a beautiful
looking tray.

ROAST WILD DUCK WITH ONIONS, ANCHOVIES, CAPERS AND POLENT

2 sprigs of tarragon
3 to 4 sprigs of thyme
1 teaspoon milled black pepper
1 mallard
200 ml (7fl oz) white wine vinegar
100 gm (4oz) unsalted butter
100 gm (4oz) pancetta or streaky bacon, t; hinly sliced
1 onion
4 small salted anchovy fillets
1 pinch sugar
1 glass white wine
200 ml (7fl oz) chicken stock
1 teaspoon capers

(serves two)

This sounds rather outlandish but it is a traditional Venetian recipe.


Anchovies often feature in English recipes for wild duck: far from
making it taste fishy, they accentuate its meatiness.

The day before, or at least eight hours before cooking, place the
tarragon, thyme and pepper inside the cavity of the duck and pour in
half the vinegar. Pour the other half of the vinegar over the skin of
the duck, cover with film or foil and leave to marinate in the
fridge. If possible, turn the duck a couple of times during this
period.

Pour away the vinegar and smear the breasts of the duck with half the
butter before covering them with the strips of bacon. Do not truss
the duck as this will prevent the thighs from cooking sufficiently
before the breasts are overdone. Place the duck on its back on a
roasting tray and put it in a hot oven (230&deg;C/450&deg;F/Gas Mark
8). Roast for 15 minutes.

Chop the onion and the anchovy fillets and stew these gently in the
remaining butter in a small saucepan. When the duck is cooked,
transfer it to a plate and add a pinch of sugar to the roasting dish.
Warm this over the heat before pouring in the white wine. Allow to
bubble up while you scrape up all the caramelised residue from the
pan and then add the chicken stock. Boil and reduce by half. Then add
the onion and anchovy mix.

Separate the legs and breasts of the duck from the carcass and cut the
breasts in half. Pour the duck juices into the sauce and then gently
warm the duck pieces in the sauce. Sprinkle with capers and serve
immediately, with the polenta.

ROASTED [OR STEWED] CAT

1 cat

Take the cat, cut the tail off, skin and gut as for rabbit. Can be
substituted in any rabbit recipe.

Trevor suggests placing a few onions in the gut cavity and then
trussing with some fencing wire [not rusty] and roasting on a spit
over a wood fire.

If the cat is old, only use the rump section and make a stew with
onions and whatever root vegetables are available.

Trevor say he has had this on several occasions and it tastes very
similar to roasted/stewed rabbit.

1 lightly
2 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in
2 tablespoon water
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Venison is best served rare to medium, as it is a very lean meat that


toughens and develops a strong flavor if overcooked. The following
recipe may also be made with a 2 1/2-pound beef fillet.

Preheat the oven to 425F. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the
venison racks without crowding them, toss the shallots with 2
tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper to taste and roast them in
the middle of the oven, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes,
or until they are golden. Pat the venison dry, season it with salt and
pepper, and rub it generously with the additional oil. Heat a large
heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot and in it sear the
venison on all sides. Push the shallots to the sides of the roasting
pan, stand the venison racks in the middle of the pan, allowing the
bones to rest together, and roast th e mixture in the middle of the
oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125F., for
rare meat. Transfer the racks with shallots to a platter and let them
stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. To the roasting pan
ad d the broth, the wine, the water, and the juniper berries and
simmer the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 5 minutes. Strain
the mixture through a fine sieve set over a small saucepan, whisk the
cornstarch mixture, and add it to the saucepan with the cranberries,
the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the gravy,
whisking, for 5 minutes. Cut the venison into individual chops and
serve it with the shallots and the gravy.

ROSE QUAIL

1/2 dozen red rose buds


1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoon cornmeal
2 tablespoon anis

Submitted by Pam Hayes-Bohanan

My husband and I recently made a delicious dinner by adapting the


recipe for quail-in-rose-petal sauce found in the novel Like Water for
Chocolate. The book gives the ingredients, but doesn't tell how to
make it. We used chicken instead of quail and changed some of the
other ingredients, and figured out on our own how to put them
together.

Chop the roses into small pieces and grind in blender with the almonds
and garlic. Melt the butter and add honey. Stir the rose, garlic and
almond mixture into the honey and butter. Add the cornmeal and anis.
The mixture will be a thick paste. Use a spoon to spread onto the
chicken. Bake the chicken as usual, basting if the coating gets too
dry. The rose petals and anise will infuse the chicken with wonderful
flavor.

Use additional rose buds or petals as a garnish when presenting the


chicken.

SAAMI BLOOD SAUSAGE

1 intestines
1 blood
1 oat flakes

If you just killed a reindeer. Moose or similar, you can make this.
Turn the "long things in the stomach" (forgot English word) and clean
them in snow or water. Fill them with blood. Tie them together and
boil them. If you mix snow with the blood, there will be no lumps.
You can also sift the blood thourgh a colander to avoid lumps. You
can even mix the blood with oat flakes. Reindeer blood can freeze
without loosing taste.

SAVOURY RABBIT

1 text file

Just a few rabbits were introduced many years ago by a notorious (for
this reason) English gentleman, and inevitably, eventually, Australia
was covered with them. During depression days rabbits were the food
of the desperate (and referred to as, "underground mutton"), and
gained an undeserved reputation as a low quality meat. Not
surprisingly, my old cookbooks have many recipes for rabbit, as pie,
curried, stewed, stuffed baked, boiled. To anticipate your request,
one of the most interesting is the Savoury Rabbit given below, copied
from The Kookaburra Cookery Book.

Joint 2 rabbits and lay them till white in salt and water. Line the
bottom of a pie dish with a seasoning of sage, onion, breadcrumbs,
pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Lay in this some of the rabbit, then a
rasher of bacon and sliced hard boiled eggs, and so continue till the
dish is full, letting some seasoning make the last layer. Fill up
with some good broth or milk. Cover with a plate, and bake 2 hours in
a moderate oven. - Miss D. Gurner.

SCOTTISH PIGEON PARCELS W/ WHISKEY AND HONEY

1 british measurements
2 oz butter
1 tablespoon honey
4 pigeons; oven-ready
5 tablespoon single malt scotch whiskey
2 large nectarines; peeled & sliced
4 tablespoon mango juice
4 large squares of kitchen foil

Like pheasant, pigeon is best when kept moist during cooking. In this
recipe, the birds are baked in their own individual "parcels" ,
sealing in all the whiskey and honey flavors.

Heat the butter, honey and a Tbsp of whiskey in a frying pan. Add the
pigeons and fry them gently for approximately 5 minutes, sealing them
in a caramelized glaze. Remove them from the pan, and wrap each
pigeon in an individual foil parcel with nectarine slices, a Tbsp of
mango juice and one Tbsp whiskey in each.

Bake at 3250F / 1600C / gas 3 for about 1 hour, or until the birds
are tender. Serve the foil parcels at the table - guests will enjoy
opening the fragrant packages for themselves.

SCOTTISH ROAST VENISON WITH PORT WINE SAUCE

6 lb venison haunch or saddle


1 salt and black pepper
2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
4 oz diced salt pork or bacon
1 marinade
1 750 ml bottle red wine
2 centiliter garlic
1 bay leaf
2 carrots
1 large onion
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 sprig rosemary
2 crushed juniper berries
4 tablespoon olive oil
1 sauce
1 pan juices
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon butter
4 oz port wine
1 tablespoon rowan or redcurrant jelly
1 gravy from the venison

Hill deer, like hill sheep, are reputed to have much better-tasting
meat than their lowland cousins and in Scotland the quality of the
hill venison is famous. Large joints may have to be marinated before
cooking, but it isn't necessary if the animal is younger.

Slice and peel onion and carrots. Cook gently in olive oil, but do not
let brown. Put into glass or earthenware dish. Add wine and other
ingredients to create a marinade. Soak the venison in marinade for
about 2 days. Turn several times a day so all surfaces are coated with
marinade. When ready, take out venison and dry with a clean cloth.

Combine butter and oil in heavy pan with tight lid. Place over medium
heat. When hot add diced pork or bacon. Fry until cubes are crisp, add
joint, brown on all sides. Reduce marinade to half by boiling rapidly
on stove top. Strain marinade over venison, season to taste. Cook at
325F/165C in oven for 30 min per lb.

Sauce

Strain off pan juices. Boil rapidly on stove top to reduce by half.
Rub flour into butter, add to thicken, stir well. Add port and jelly;
mix very well. Serve over venison or separately as desired.

SENECA ROAST CORN SOUP ('O' NANH-DAH) BY MIRIAM LEE

12 ears white corn in milky


1 stage
1 lb salt pork (lean and fat)
1 lb pinto or kidney beans

Using low heat, take corn and roast on top of range (using griddle if
your stove is equipped with one) and keep rotating corn until ears
are a golden brown. After the corn is roasted, take ears and put on
foil covered cookie sheet until cool enough to handle. Scrape each

SHAGGY MANE QUICHE

1/2 recipe pie crust (page xx)


5 to 6 bacon slices, cut into
1 inch pieces
1/2 to 1 pound shaggy manes,
1 sliced
4 shallots or green onions,
1 minced
1/2 cup freshly grated provolone
1 cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne
4 eggs, well beaten
2 cup half and half

The shaggy mane is a favorite mushroom among mushroom-lovers. The caps


liquefy rapidly, so speed is essential in getting them into the pot.
One ardent admirer of this mushroom takes a skillet and butter on
collecting trips so that the shaggy manes can be eaten where they are
found.

Prepare the pie crust. Roll the dough out to a 10-inch crust. Line a
9-inch pie pan with the crust. Crimp the edges.

In a saut‚ pan or skillet, fry the bacon until crisp, then remove it
from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Discard
all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat and saut‚ the mushrooms and
shallots until the shallots are translucent and most of the mushroom
liquid has evaporated.

Spread the bacon over the pie crust. Add the grated cheese, then the
mushroom and shallots. Mix the nutmeg, salt, and cayenne into the
beaten eggs. Add the cream. Slowly pour the custard mixture over the
bacon, cheese, and mushrooms.

Bake the quiche in a preheated 350§ oven for about 35 minutes or


until the custard is set and the top is brown.

SHAZZA'S OVEN BARBECUED VENISON

3 lb boneless venison (deer, elk,


1 moose, antelope)
1 lb thick sliced bacon
1 cup chopped red onions
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 yellow rice (use only
1 long-grain)
1 salt and pepper

Cut venison into 1-inch cubes. In the bottom of a Dutch oven (or large
frying pan), cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, crumble, and set
aside. In a bowl or other container, mix all ingredients except
venison and rice. Salt and pepper to taste (or try 1 tablespoon of
salt and one-eighth teaspoon pepper). Drain venison and brown it in
bacon drippings. Pour off dripping and liquid. Add bowlful of
ingredients to venison. Stir well. Cover tightly and simmer about 1
hour, or until meat is tender. Stir occasionally. Cook rice. Serve
barbecued venison on rice. Serves 7 or 8 ordinary people.

Comment: Tough meat should be marinated overnight. The early settlers


used ordinary milk. Simply put the meat in a suitable container, cover
it with milk, and refrigerate for 15 hours or so. You may prefer it to
other marinades because it doesn't flavor the meat. Or, use your
favorite marinade.

This recipe can also be used for other game, domestic meat, and fowl.

SHAZZA'S ROAST LOIN OF VENISON WITH CRANBERRIES

2 thick slices of lemon


2 thick slices of orange
2 slice peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 small bay leaf
2 cup fresh cranberries
4 lb boneless loin of venison, at
1 room temperature
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped juniper
1 berries
2 cup dry red wine
2 cup beef or venison stock

high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to
moderate and boil, uncovered, until syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes.

mixture to a glass container, coer and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days,
stirring once or twice during that time.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Rub the venison with the olive oil, 3/4
teaspoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the
chopped juniper berries, pressing the seasonings into the meat. Set
the loin on a rack in a roasting pan and roast, basting frequently
with the pan juices, until medium-rare (about 135F on a meat
thermometer), 25 to 30 minutes. Cover the venison loosely with foil
and set aside for 10 to
15 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile, remove and discard the bay leaf and the lemon, orange and
ginger slices from the cranberries. In a food processor or blender,

In a medium nonreactive saucepan, boil the wine over high heat until
reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 mintues. Add the stock and bring to a
boil. Add the cranberry puree, reduce the heat to low and simmer,
uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from
heat.

Strain the remaining whole cranberries and add them to the sauce with
the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, pepper and chopped juniper
berries. Swirl in the cold butter.

SHEEP'S HEAD BROTH

1 sheep's head
6 pt. water
1 1/2 lb. carrot, turnip, onion or leek, cele; ry mixed
1/4 lb. barley
1 tsp. parsley, chopped
6 peppercorns
salt and pepper to taste

When I was in AZ, the little Dine'h girls thought they would gross me out
by
offering me 'weird' sheep parts to eat. I was never sure that what they
were
giving me was what they said or if they were pulling my leg, but I just ate
the meat anyway, and actually it was quite tasty. I've always had a taste
for mutton, and perhaps not knowing for sure was a good thing. Anyway, I
did
not find out how they prepared the meat exactly so I don't know if this is
how the Navajo do it or not, but this is the only recipe I've run across so
here it is. Min
Split the skull lengthwise and remove the brains carefully; place them in
cold salted water. Chop off the nose and clean the head well with salt.
Remove the tongue; set aside. Tie the head back together and place in a
saucepan with the tongue. Cover with hot water; adding 2 teaspoons of salt.
Skim the water as it boils; cooking for 1 hour.

Wash the brains, then tie in muslin and cook in the broth for 20 minutes.

Cut the vegetables in small pieces. Add to the broth. Simmer for 2 hours.

Season with more salt and pepper to taste; add the parsley and the meat
from
the head after it has been cut into small pieces.

Notes: The head can be served separately with brain sauce. The sheep's
trotters can be added to the above recipe if desired. They should be well
washed and cooked with the head. The head and trotters can be served
separately coated with white sauce and garnished with pieces of carrot and
turnip.

SKILLET PINON CORN BREAD

By: Flavored Breads.

1/4 cup butter, melted


2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
dry ingredients
1-1/4 cups cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pinon nuts (pine nuts), toasted
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels, roasted
15 fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 small onion, diced

Serving this corn bread in a skillet or rustic corn bread pan is a


comforting, homey touch plus the thick cast iron keeps the bread warm at
the table. In
pioneer days, corn bread was often made in Dutch ovens (also called bake
ovens). The large cast iron cooking vessels were imported from Europe and
used
for cooking foods over campfires or on the hearth next to the main
fireplace.
As the name suggests, the Dutch oven originated in Holland in the 1600s,
but
it was later patented and produced in large quantities by Abraham Darby at
Colebrookdale in England, one of the first major centers of the Industrial
Revolution. In this recipe, the flavors of the sage and pinons, or pine
nuts,
give the bread a richness and earthiness that evoke the open range and
hillsides
of the SouthwestPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk together the butter, oil, water, buttermilk, and eggs in a mixing
bowl.
Set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients and sift into a separate mixing bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until completely
incorporated.
Stir in the pine nuts, corn kernels, sage, and onion until incorporated.
Coat a 10-inch ovenproofcast iron skillet with softened butter (about 2
tablespoons) and heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the hot skillet and pour the batter into it.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a paring knife or toothpick comes out
clean when inserted in the center.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool slightly.

SMALL BIRD AND BACON STEW WITH WALNUTS OR HAZELNUTS

6 fatty rashers of bacon,


1 chopped roughly
3 cloves garlic
4 pigeons or other small game
1 birds (6 if very small)
225 gm (8 oz) mushrooms, whatever
1 variety, chopped roughly
75 gm (3 oz) roughly chopped
1 roasted hazelnuts or
1 walnuts
300 ml (10 fl oz, 1 1/4 cups) real
1 ale
150 ml (5 fl oz, 3/4 cup) water
3 bay leaves
1 little salt and freshly
1 ground black pepper
6 coarse slices brown bread

Fry the bacon, with the garlic, till it is lightly browned in a heavy
bottomed casserole. Add birds and brown on all sides. Add the
mushrooms and nuts, continue to cook for a couple of minutes, then
add the ale and water with the bay leaves.

Bring to the boil, cover and simmer very gently for 2 - 2 1/2 hours--
the birds should be falling off the bone. Remove the birds from the
juices, cool juices completely and remove any excess fat. The birds
can be served whole on or off the bone. If the latter, carve them
while they are cold then return to the skimmed juices and reheat
gently. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve either the whole
birds of the slices on the pieces of bread, with plenty of the juices
and "bits". A good green salad to follow is the best accompaniment.

SMOKE ROASTED TOP ROUND OF BISON

3 lb buffalo; top round cut


24 oz beer dark variety
1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
2 oz balsamic vinegar
2 large garlic cloves; minced
2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
3 chunks
1 soaked overnight
1 hardwood or fruitwood

In a large bowl mix all of the wet and dry ingredients. Place Buffalo
in bowl and cover. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 72
hours. Remove Buffalo from fridge and pat dry with paper towels prior
to placing on the grill, leave on counter at room temperature while
fire is being prepared.

Place charcoal in a pyramid shape and light with either lighter fluid,
electric starter or chimney starter. When the coals turn gray place
them to one side of the grill. Add an additional 12-15 briquettes to
the hot coals. The Buffalo will be cooked using the indirect method.
Place an aluminum pan filled with hot water next to the coals. Spray
the grid with a non-stick spray
and let grid heat over the hot coals. Place the meat above the water
pan on the heated grid. At this time add one of the wood chunks.
Cover the grill, place bottom vents 3/4 open and top cover vent 1/2
open. You will need to add
lit charcoal to the hot coals, approximately 8-12 briquettes every
hour, so using a chimney starter would work best for this. At that
time you can also add another chunk of wood. Use wood in moderation,
a nice even smoky flavor will enhance the meat and not over power it!
Cook for approximately 2 1/4 hours or 45 minutes per pound. The
cooking temperature should be about 275 degrees.

This method of indirect cooking this particular recipe has a purpose.


A Buffalo cooked in this manner will transform the finished product
into a very
tender, smoky and succulent entree.

Remove the Buffalo and let sit for 20 minutes prior to slicing. Ask
Chauncey
how good this was.

NOTES : I suggest using hardwood lump charcoal to fuel the fire and a
wood with character to flavor it such as Pecan, Alder or Maple. Rare
is the choicest way to serve this beast, if it is well done you might
as well toss it
in the garbage and start over.

SMOKED MOOSE NOSE

1 moose

This recipe comes from Alberta and dates back to 1847

"Remove the nose from the moose's head and place in the coals of a
hot fire until the hair is burnt off, including the hair in the
nostrils. The nose will be pure white after the hair comes off.
Scrape all the hard parts and boil the meat, adding spices, onions,
or other vegetables to taste. Cooks quickly. After cooking, it can be
hung in the smokehouse for a day or two. For a more tender nose,
allow to hang a few days to age before cooking and smoking."

SMOKED SADDLE OF WILD BOAR WITH CURRANT SAUCE

1 saddle of wild boar or pork (6 to; 8-lb.)


1 basic wet brine for game meats (se; e recipe)
----CURRANT SAUCE----
1/2 cup dried currents
1/2 cup creme de cassis
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup black current jam
2 cup veal, beef, or basic game meat sto; ck (see recipe)
3 shallots, chopped
2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 salt and black pepper to taste

This dish, an adaptation of one created by chef Amy Ferguson-Ota,


during a stint at Charley's 517 in Houston, was previously published
in Ellen Browns's "Cooking with the New American Chefs". Ferguson-Ota
now heads the kitchen at the Hotel Hana-Maui in Hawaii.

The curranty flavors of the sauce are the perfect counterpoint to the
smoked boar. If boar cannot be found, a saddle of pork or venison can
be used. Chestnut Puree (see recipe) and braised leeks are ideal
accompaniments.

A couple of days in advance of cooking, prepare brine and place boar


in it.

Prepare grill for smoking. Using indirect-heat method, smoke boar on


grill with hickory, pecan, and applewood chips that have been soaked
for about 30 minutes in water and drained. Keep cover on grill and
smoke until meat is cooked, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Replenish coals and
chips as necessary.

To make sauce, in a small saucepan, soak currants in creme de cassis


and wine for 45 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients, except
butter, salt, and pepper, and reduce over medium heat to a light
sauce consistency. Swirl in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Keep
warm.

Remove boar from grill and let rest a few minutes. Carve boar and
serve with sauce.

Recommended wine: The intense, curranty flavors in the sauce make the
dish an ideal match for a well-balanced, rich Cabernet Sauvignon.

SMOTHERED CROW

1 cloves of garlic, peeled


1 bacon fat
2 crows, cleaned and dressed
1 flour
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 water, wine or juice
1 milk

Young birds are best, I'm told, for this approach which smacks of
campfire cookery. Maybe throw a few potatoes into the fire to cook.

Method: In a skillet with a cover, for each pair of birds, fry a


clove of garlic in a few tablespoons of bacon fat just until
beginning to brown. Remove garlic and discard. Add seasonings to
flour. Dredge bird in flour and put into hot skillet, browning on
all sides. Add about 1/4 cup water or other liquids for each pair of
birds. Cover, reduce heat to low and occasionally add water as
needed to keep birds from sticking and to make a stock for gravy.
Cook until tender and juices are clear. Remove birds and keep warm.
Stir in flour and milk to make a gravy. Serve birds on toast with
gravy over.

SNIPPETS OF VENISON

3/4 lb best venison trimmings


2 fl oz cider
4 fl oz good stock
6 oz cap mushrooms
1 bunch chives
1 garlic
1 juniper
1 unsalted butter
4 fl oz soured cream or greek yogurt

Cut the meat into strips about the size of your thumb - if possible.
Some of the trimmings may, of course, be slightly ragged, triangular
or cubed but this is the size and shape to aim for. Dust with
coarsely ground black pepper and 3 to 4 crushed juniper berries,
moisten with the cider, cover and leave to marinate for 24 hours.
Crush a garlic clove, mix it with the soured cream or yoghurt and
leave it to infuse in a cool place for 24 hours.

Carefully drain and dry the venison, reserving the marinade. Slice
the mushrooms thickly and saute them in a little very hot butter.
Remove and keep hot. Then saute the venison briefly, searing it
nicely but keeping it succulent and pink within - 2 minutes is
plenty. Then let the venison rest in a low oven where it will go on
cooking a little without toughening. Start making the sauce straight
away or wait for several minutes if you want the meat to lose its
pinkness.

To make the sauce, let the marinade liquid and the stock bubble away
in the frying pan until reduced to just 2 or 3 spoonfuls. Blend in
any juices that the venison has exuded and bubble again briefly. Then
beat in the garlic-flavoured soured cream, away from the heat. Return
the pan to a low flame to warm the sauce. Season well, scatter with
chopped chives and serve on very hot plates.

SPECIAL STEAKS (VENISON OR BEEF)

6 boneless venison chops --


1 all fat cut off
1 cup white wine
1 can cream of mushroom soup,
1 condensed
1 small onion -- sliced thinly
1 spoon of vegetable oil

Brown the venison chops in the oil on the stove. This is just to
give them color, not to cook them so don't cook too long. Put the
venison in a casserole along with the onion slices. Pour the white
wine on top. It should just barely cover the meat, so add more if you
need. Bake for one hour at 175C (350F). After one hour, mix in the
can of cream of mushroom soup. Do not add any water. The soup will
probably not mix well, don't worry about it as it will "melt" while
cooking. Bake another hour at 175C (350F). Very good with wild rice.

SPICE BUSH MARINATED BEAR STEAK

4 bear steaks, 1 1/2 inches


1 thick
2 wild onions, sliced
1 cup indian vinegar (see below)
1 cup water
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoon spice bush powder (see
1 below)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon bear fat, rendered
1 salt and pepper

First get your bear. Preferably just before hibernation as they will
be fat then. Trim off all fat it is not like beef it is easy not
marbled. Marinating the meat makes it taste better and makes it
tender and juicy.

In a large bowl mix the onions, Indian vinegar, water, maple syrup
spice bush powder and salt. Let stand a few hours, then put in the
bear steaks. Put in a cool place for 24 hours. turning the steaks
every once in a while.

Remove the steaks from the marinade, let them drain and pat dry. Heat
a frying pan , rub pan with the rendered bear fat. Place the steaks
in the pan and sear on both sides. Lower the heat and finish
cooking, adding more fat to prevent sticking. Remove steaks from the
frying pan, add a little flour and water to thicken the gravy, Pour
gravy over the steaks. Serve with potatoes, and of course Fry Bread.

Note: Indian Vinegar is made from the sap of the sugar maple or birch
tree. the buds and twigs and sap were allowed to ferment in the sun,
then strained through a cloth. (I used Apple Cider Vinegar at the
time but if you want to be creative you can try to make this.)

Bush spice grows along stream banks and in damp woods. The bush
grows as tall as 10 feet and the leaves turn a bright gold color in
the fall. The flowers are yellow and the leaves and twigs smell good.
The bright red berries are dried in the sun and then pounded to a
powder and used instead of what we know as allspice. The bush is
also known as the Benjamin bush, wild allspice bush and the fever
bush. Unless you are really good on wild plants I would just use
conventional allspice. That is what I used.

Now get out there and get a bear....

SPICED VENISON STEAKS WITH RED-CABBAGE CONFIT

4 lb boneless loin of venison,


1 cut into eight steaks
2 tablespoon black peppercorns
2 tablespoon szechwan peppercorns
2 tablespoon dried allspice berries
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsalted
1 butter, softened
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced white part of
1 scallion plus
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion
1 green
1 cup dry red wine
1 red cabbage confit as an
1 accompaniment

Flatten each steak to a 3/4-inch thickness between 2 pieces of plastic


wrap. In a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag or between 2 sheets of wax
paper crush the peppercorns and the allspice berries coarse with the
bottom of a heavy skillet. Press the peppercorn mixture into both
sides of the steaks and chill the steaks, covered with plastic wrap,
for at least 2 hours or overnight. In each of 2 heavy skillets heat
1/2 tablespoon of the butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil over
moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in the fat saute the
steaks, seasoned with salt, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until
they are just springy to the touch for rare meat. Transfer the steaks
with a slotted spatula to a platter and keep them warm, covered
loosely.

Pour off the fat remaining in the skillets, to each skillet add 1
tablespoon of the remaining butter and half the minced white
scallion, and cook the scallion over moderate heat, stirring, until
it is softened. Deglaze each skillet with 1/2 cup of the wine,
scrapping up any brown bits clinging to the skillet, and pour the
wine mixture from one skillet into the other. Boil the wine mixture
until it is reduced to a glaze, remove the skillet from the heat, and
whisk in the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time,
adding each new piece just before the previous one has melted
completely. Whisk in the scallion green and salt and black pepper to
taste.

Divide the red-cabbage confit among 8 dinner plates, arrange a venison


steak over each serving, and spoon some of the sauce over each steak.

Chef Gary Jones pulled off a coup for Western Australia in 1994 when
his Perth Restaurant, San Lorenzo was voted Australia's Best
Restaurant in the prestigious Remy Gourmet Awards. Though he uses
kangaroo fillets for this dish, you could substitute fillet steak.

Simmer onion, carrot and garlic in olive oil. After 3 minutes add
spices and cook for further two minutes. Add lentils and chicken
stock and simmer for 1 hour or until mixture has reduced to a
thickish consistency. Stir in herbs.

10 minutes before serving, brush fillets with olive oil and sear in
very hot pan for two to three minutes keeping the meat rare to medium
rare. Remove fillets and allow to stand in warm place for a few
minutes to allow meat to Œrest'. Serve fillet with the spicy lentil

I like them steamed and seasoned. I ate them in Mexico when I stayed at a
dormitory for women and girls. They were cut up and prepared somewhat like
yellow squash.
Cook bacon in iron skillet until crisp but not burned up. :-)
Remove bacon and drain and chop.
To bacon drippings or olive oil if you prefer add chopped onion and
jalepeno
and cook until the onion is tender and transparent.
Add squash and nopalitos and cook, stirring frequently until tender.
Add a little stock or water if needed.
Add salt and cumin and any other seasonings of your choice. (Chili powder
etc...)
Top with crumbled bacon and serve.
You can also top it with crumbled corn tortillas and shredded Monterrey
Jack cheese
and place under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly.

I have also occasionaly added yellow hominy to this.


As you can see I am one of those cooks who adds a little of this and a lot
of that
until I get the flavor I am looking for.

1 into serving pieces
2 teaspoon salt
1 water
3 tablespoon flour
1/2 tablespoon mint, finely
1 chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup mushrooms

Place the squirrel meat into a large soup kettle. Cover with water
and add two teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower
heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the scum as it
rises to the surface. Take the squirrels out of the kettle and cool
to room temperature. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat from the bones
and cube it. strain the broth and pour into a three-quart saucepan.
Add the flour, mint, salt, pepper, mushrooms to the broth stirring
constantly. Cook for 20 minutes. Add the meat and cook for another 10
minutes. Pour into a well-greased casserole. If you like, cover the
meat with a layer of biscuit dough.

Roll out the dough and cut into rounds. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees F. Put the buiscuits on top of the stew in the casserole.
Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Often the easiest way to prepare squirrel meat in the hunt camp is to
make a casserole the night before. Trapper Jim often did this and
here is one of his specialties.

SQUIRREL CONFIT (PRESERVED SQUIRREL)

1 info file

This preparation will work with older animals very nicely; younger
and more tender animals may be better on the grill, or dredged in
flour and fried or baked.

Skin and clean two large squirrels. Wash the carcasses free of
blood, and pat dry. Disjoint into four leg sections, one saddle
(just above the pelvis) and one rack (the ribcage). Using large
kitchen shears, snip off the lower part of the ribcage and any parts
of the saddle that are not directly attached to meat, such as the
pelvis. Reserve the rack; you can prepare it as you would a Frenched
rack of lamb if you wish by scraping the ends of the bones clean, and
cutting down the center of the backbone lengthwise to create two sets
of "squirrel chops".

In a small saucepan, simmer down the bones and the edible internal
organs (heart, liver minus the green gallbladder, kidneys, lungs,
diaphragm) with some carrots, onions and bay leaves to create a small
amount of fragrant demiglace. Reserve.

Rub the joints all over with a good quality salt and some herbs to
taste; I like to use the "Herbs du Provence" blend with some thyme,
lavender, basil and oregano. Leave them in the refrigerator
overnight. The next day, rinse them briefly and dry thoroughly on
paper towels.

Prepare enough clean rendered fat (duck or goose fat is ideal, but
clean pork or bear lard will do; beef tallow is undesireable) to
completely cover all of the squirrel parts to be preserved. Gently
boil the squirrel parts in the fat on a low simmer for an hour to an
hour and a half, checking and stirring frequently to avoid parts
sticking to the bottom of the pan. When the meat is tender and
falling off the bone, remove and drain all the fat if serving
immediately.

Roast the reserved, Frenched squirrel chops seperately to medium


doneness, with the broth demiglace as a sauce. About 5 minutes in a
425F oven should do, or you can pan-fry the chop sections in a
skillet. After the chops are cooked, you can slice them into
individual tiny chops as a garnish for the confit dish if desired.

If you wish to preserve the squirrel meat, debone the cooled, cooked
meat and put it in a clean glass jar. Strain the fat, and pour it
over the meat. Make sure there is at least 1/2" of melted fat above
the level of the meat, and store it in a cool, dark place, ideally
the refrigerator.
Page 1302

In medieval times, potted game was kept in this way for up to a year,
and remained sweet and free from decay. Modern recipes advise taking
more stringent safety precautions and storing the finished confit in
the refrigerator and using it within a month.

To serve squirrel confit, heat it, drain the fat well, and serve it
with a crisp salad of spring greens, garlic mashed potatoes and
freshly baked bread. From: Tanith@tyrr

SQUIRREL ETOUFFEE

1 text file

You'll need about a squirrel per person.

Get a large stock pot. Clean the squirrels and rub them down with a
seasoning mix of salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, thyme, and a
dash of cumin. Put them inside the pot. Cut up a couple of carrots
and thow them in. Quarter an onion and slice a full bulb of garlic
(7 or 8 cloves) in half, germ and all, and put them in the pot. Now
pour enough bock beer into the pot to go about half way up the sides
of the squirrels. Bring to a boil and reduce to a slow simmer. Cover
pot and cook, turning the squirrels and refilling the beer about
every 20 minutes. You will know the squirrels are done when the meat
comes off the bones without too much effort.

Take the squirrels out and pick the meat from the bones. Return the
*bones* to the pot and cover with water. Simmer for 2 hours, then
remove and strain the liquid into a container. Finely chop a small
onion, a stalk of celery and a bell pepper. Now take a large cast
iron skillet and heat a cup of peanut oil to medium high heat. With a
wire wisk, slowly wisk in 1 cup of flour. Continue wisking, without
stopping, until the roux turns a dark reddish brown color (if you
burn it, start over). Add the chopped veggies and mix in until soft.
Add the squirrel stock (about a cup per person) and stir well until
somewhat thick (like a glaze). Chop up the squirrel meat and add it
to the skillet. Cook for a few minues longer and serve on top of
Louisiana ice cream (that's rice for those of you who don't know).
Garnish with Louisiana Hot Sauce.

SQUIRREL IN THE STYLE OF FRENCH HARE

1 info file

Disjoint the carcass as described in the earlier recipe, Frenching


the rack and splitting the backbone down the middle. Remove the
thigh bone and the shoulder bone from the hind and forelegs, keeping
the forelimb bone intact. Make stock from the bones; you may need to
enrich the stock with additional meat or bones from a larger animal,
or leftover chicken, veal or pork.

To bone a squirrel (or any small animal), use a small, sharp knife to
cut all the way around the end of the bone below the "knob", severing
tendons and muscle attachments. Scrape downwards with the blade to
push the flesh down on the bone.

Stuff the pockets created in the legs with lightly sauteed wild
mushrooms and spring garlic or onion greens. Dredge the stuffed legs
lightly in seasoned flour and brown in a small amount of hot butter
in a covered skillet. Add enough wine and well-reduced stock to keep
the liquid about 1/4" deep around the stuffed legs, and braise until
the meat is completely done and runs clear when pierced.

Roast the rib chop and saddle sections, deglaze the pan juices with
wine and stock, and serve as a garnish to the stuffed legs. This
makes a very attractive presentation. From: Tanith@tyrr

SQUIRREL TIPS

1 squirrel

Squirrel, along with rabbit, is one of the most popular of small


game, but it is much more varied when it comes to edibility. If the
squirrels have been eating acorns, which can be judged by the area in
which they are taken, they should be soaked in 1 tablespoon vinegar
per quart of water overnight before cooking. Squirrels have scent
glands in the small of the back as well as under all four legs.
These, of course, should be removed. Do not remove all of the body
fat; some should be left for flavor. A young squirrel's meat is pink
to rosy in color while raw; it turns a darker red as the animal ages.
If you think you have an old, tough animal, soak it in 3/4 cup salad
oil with 1/4 cup lemon juice for 1 hour before cooking. Many people
use squirrel to stretch upland game-bird recipes, and squirrel is
frequently substituted in chicken recipes. Gray squirrels dress out
at about 1/2 pound, fox squirrels around 3/4 pound. Some people tell
the age of a squirrel by checking the underside of the tail in a good
light. If there are two or three dark bands running the length of the
fur on either side, it's a young one. Older squirrels have only one
such band. From: Uncle Steve <chiles@flash.Net>

2 tablespoon butter

Cook squirrels in salted water for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove meat from


bones. Blend together meat, onions, potatoes, and parsley. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. Form into balls and roll in dandelion
greens or water cress. Fry in hot butter.

STEAM ROASTED GIANT GOOSE

1 large goose, plucked dressed clean


1 lemon (juice from)
1 salt
----STUFFING----
2 onions (medium)
4 tablespoon butter
10 fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup port wine
3 celery stalks, minced
1 teaspoon salt
3 cup croutons
1/4 teaspoon all spice

Clean all loose fat from inside bird. Cut off wing tips at elbow,
cut off neck close to body, cut off tail (the bird's, not yours).
With fork or sharp knife, prick skinn at the base of each wing, the
back of the legs and where thigh meets back. This will prevent
accumulation of melted fat. Rub bird inside and out with lemon juice
and lightly salt the cavity. Place the bird on rack in roaster pan,
breast side up. Add 1 inch of water to the pan, place on top of
stove, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and steam for 1 hour. Add
more water if necessary. Do not burn dry.

To make the stuffing, belt butter in heavy fry pan over medium heat,
lightly saute onion and celery, add mushrooms. Stir croutons, salt,
pepper and all spice. Pour wine over and mix gentlly, remove from
heat.

Preheat over to 325, remove goose from roaster and let cool 15-20
minutes.
Discard the liquid from the botton of the pan. Loosely fill the
cavity of the goose with stuffing, use skewers and string to close
opening, replace goose on rack in roasting pan. Add 2 cups fresh
water and roast covered for 2-3 hours, depending on size of bird.
after 1-1/2 hours baste bird every 15 minutes and remove cover for
the final 30 minutes to brown. Make gravy from the pan dirppings, and
let your creativity flow as your prepare teh rest of the meal to
compliment this noble bird.

STEGT DYREKOLL (ROAST VENISON)

1 leg venison
6 oz fat-larding pork
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
1 oregano leaves/powder-opt'l. or-
1 marjoram leaves/powder -opt'l.
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup butter or fat, melted
2 cup meat stock, more if you want
1 cup dry sherry
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoon butter
5 teaspoon cider vinegar or chianti
1/4 tablespoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoon currant jelly

Before being cooked, venison should hang in a cool place for three or
four days after the kill. Wipe it and dry well. Remove all skin,
membrane and sinews. The fat pork should be cut into strips about
1/3" wide and 2" long.

Collect the seasonings, including oregano and/or marjoram if using


them. Then roll the pork strips in seasonings and insert them in a
larding needle. Pull the strips through the meat at regular
intervals, allowing the fat to show outside the meat at both ends.

Now rub the roast with oil and place it in a roasting pan, preferably
one with a basting depression. Pour melted butter or fat over the
roast; bake at 325 F. for 4 to 5 hours, or until meat is brown and
very tender. It should be basted every 10 to 15 minutes with meat
stock and half of sherry. At the end of the cooking time, remove the
meat from pan; skim off fat from the natural gravy.

Make a smooth paste of flour, butter and stock; add vinegar or wine
and orange rind and stir in the natural gravy in the pan. Then cook
this for about 10 minutes on low heat and add the rest of the sherry
and currant jelly. Now baste roast in slow heat, with the completed
gravy, for about 15 minutes to an hour.

Serve gravy in gravy boat and garnish the venison with currant jelly
or serve currant jelly with it.

If no larding needle is available, use smoke-cured bacon, slit the


meat slightly under each bacon strip, and cook at 250 F., 50 minutes
per pound. Baste twice as often.

This venison will taste the way venison is supposed to taste.

STEVE'S HOT! JERKY

5 lb beef brisket or venison


1 large fresh white onion or 1/3 cup
1 onion powder
1 large fresh garlic or 2 tbl.
1 garlic powder
4 oz liquid smoke
1 cup soy sauce kikkoman¨
3/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 heinz¨
2 tablespoon steak sauce a.1.¨
1 tablespoon monosodium glutamate
1 acent¨
2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/3 cup black pepper -- ground
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoon sugar
5 whole fresh habanero chiles
1 (more to taste) -- with
1 seeds
1 tablespoon dried pequin chili pepper --
1 with seeds
1/2 bottle
4 tablespoon dried cayenne pepper --
1 ground
1 the hot stuff ---
1 hot sauce melinda's
1 xxxtra¨ (5 fl. oz.)

Prepare meat by cutting into strips 3/4" X 1/2" and as long as you
prefer. Cut across grain for tender and lengthwise for chewy. The
more consistent you are when cutting the strips the better your jerky
will dry evenly. Mix all ingredients in blender except meat and
Cayenne. Soak strips of meat in the above mixture and refrigerate for
24-48 hours in a close container (I use a Tuppleware¨ bread box).
Shake several times to mix well. Pat dry. Place directly on oven
racks that have been covered with tin foil and sprayed with Pam. Cook
in pre heated oven @ 160F for 2-3 hours (with door closed). This
kills bacteria, removes a lot of the excess moisture and melts any
excess fat. Return hot strips to mixture and refrigerate for another
6-12 hours (remember to shake several times). Pat dry and sprinkle
with Cayenne powder. Spread in dehydrator. Set dehydrator at 145F.
The final drying usually takes about another 6-10 hours. Do not over
dry (Check every few hours). Jerky should be tuff and leathery, not
brittle or hard. A real mouth watering HOT treat! Enjoy. If you don't
have a dehydrator return Jerky to 150F oven for 6-12 hours leaving
door open a little. An alternate for the final drying would be to use
a low heat smoker. Leave out the Liquid Smoke¨ in the Marinate. Note
~ Venison has always cooked faster for me than beef (less moisture?).
So check it more frequently. Yields about 1.75 - 2 lbs. dried jerky.

1 louisiana hot sauce
1 cooking oil

With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that
surrounds each testicle. Remove the skin. Set testicles into a pan
with enough salt water to cover them for one hour (this takes out
some of the blood). Drain. Transfer testicles to large pot. Add
enough water to float testicles and a generous tablespoon of vinegar.
Parboil, drain and rinse. Let cool and slice each testicle into 1/4
inch thick ovals. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of sliced
testicle to taste.

Mix flour, cornmeal and some garlic powder to taste in a bowl. Roll
each slice into this dry mixture. Dip into milk seasoned with hot
sauce. Dip

into dry mixture. Dip into wine quickly (you may repeat the procedure
if a thicker crust is desired).

Place each testicle into hot cooking oil. Cook until golden brown or
tender, and remove with a wire mesh strainer (the longer they cook,
the tougher they get). Drain on paper towels.

1/2 lb dried black beans, rinsed


1 and picked over
1 1/2 lb venison stewing meat, cubed
1 (1/2-inch pieces)
2 tablespoon medium-hot chili powder
3 tablespoon mild olive oil
1/2 lb hot italian sausages,
1 casings removed
2 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 can (1 pound) italian plum
1 tomatoes, including the
1 juices
3/4 cup dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
3 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 sour cream
2 medium-ripe papayas, peeled,
1 seeded, and cubed (1/2-inch
1 pieces)
1 cup sliced scallions, green part
1 only

Place the beans and 1 quart water in a large, heavy saucepan and soak
overnight.

Combine the meat with the chili powder and 2 tablespoons of the olive
oil in a bowl.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot
over medium-high heat.

Working in batches, brown the venison on all sides, about 5 minutes


per batch.

With a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a bowl.

Crumble the sausage into the pan. Cook, breaking up the lumps with a
fork, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium.


Page 1323

Stir in the oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and sugar and cook
until aromatic, 2 minutes.

Stir in the venison, tomatoes, red wine, beef broth, and tomato paste.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is very
tender, stirring occasionally, about 1-1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, bring the beans to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the beans are tender but not
mushy, about 1 hour, adding more water if necessary to keep the beans
covered.

Drain well.

Degrease the chili, then stir in the beans and vinegar.

Simmer 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

This chili should be thick, but can be thinned with broth, if


necessary.

Ladle the chili into large bowls. Top with sour cream, papayas, and
scallions.

Serve at once.

STEWED PIGEONS (HEIRLOOM)

1 method only

Clean and stuff with onion dressing, thyme, etc. Do not sew up; take
five or more slices of salt pork, let it fry awhile in a pot so that
the fat comes out and it begins to brown a little; then lay the
pigeons all around in the fat, leaving he pork still in; add hot
water enough to partially cover them; cover tightly and boil and hour
or so until tender; then turn off some of the liquid and keep turning
them so they will brown nicely; then heat and add the liquor poured
off; add extra thyme, pepper, and keep turning until the pigeons and
gravy are nicely browned. Thicken with a little flour, and serve with
the gravy poured over them; garnish with parsley.

STIR FRIED MOOSE W/ASPARAGUS & RED PEPPERS IN BLACK BEAN

1 lb moose (or any venison) cut


1 into thin strips.
1 bunch fresh young asparagus
1 fresh sweet red pepper
1 bunch fresh green onions
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon black bean sauce w/garlic
3 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoon corn starch
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup cold water
1 (optional) red pepper to
1 taste

Marinate thinly sliced meat in soy sauce for about 1 hour. Cut
asparagus into 3" pieces. Cut pepper in half, core, and cut into thin
strips. Cut green onion in 1/2" pieces, including the tops. Add corn
starch to cold water in jar and shake.

Heat oil in wok. (put red pepper in oil now if desired)

When oil is hot add meat and stir fry till outside is sealed. Add
asparagas and red pepper. Cook till near prefered doneness. Add
onions, stir a few seconds, add black bean sauce, add broth (use
canned not bullion) and stir till heated. Shake corn starch and add
to mix to thicken. Make sure to keep stiring as corn starch thickens.
Serve over steamed rice &/or chow mein noodles.

Every now and then I like to do something jazzy with the game meat.
One key thing (IMHO) is thin fresh small stalked asparagus that you
can get this time of year. Forget those one's with 3/4" stalks of
wood. Also, I think this dish ranks as one of the most beautiful!

2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 ancho chile *
3 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 nonstick vegetable spray
----STIRFRY----
8 oz buffalo or beef flank steak
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small carrot, julienne cut
1/2 poblano chile **
1/2 small red onion, julienne cut
2 bunch watercress (8 ounces) ***

* stem, seeds and membrane removed, chopped (see note) ** seeds and
membranes removed, julienne cut (see note) *** stems removed,
thoroughly washed and drained (4 cups)

This recipe comes from the Stonehouse Restaurant at San Ysidro Ranch
in California. It's an example of how executive chef Gerard Thompson
combines ingredients, flavors and textures of diverse ethnic origins.

To make sauce: Combine black beans, chicken stock, ginger, garlic,


chile and vinegar in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over
medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are
tender, about 1 hour. Pour into blender or food processor, add the
salt and blend until smooth.

To make breadsticks: While sauce is simmering, preheat oven to 375


degrees. Combine warm milk, baking powder, green onions, salt and
pepper; mix well. Add flour and knead until the dough becomes smooth,
adding more flour if needed, about 3 to 5 minutes. Allow to rest 30
minutes at room temperature.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bread
stick and place them on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with
nonstick vegetable coating. Lightly spray the bread sticks with the
nonstick coating and bake until golden brown on the bottom, about 10
to 15 minutes. Turn bread sticks over and bake until other side is
Page 1329

lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.

To make stir-fry: Trim all visible fat from meat and cut, against the
grain, into quarter-inch strips. Place oil in a nonstick skillet or
wok over high heat. Immediately add meat and toss two times. Add
ginger and garlic and toss two more times. Add carrot, chile and
onion, toss twice more and remove from heat. Add watercress and toss
again to mix well.

To serve: Spoon 1/2 cup sauce onto each of four warm plates. Top with
1 cup of meat mixture and arrange 3 bread sticks in a triangular
pattern on each plate.

Note: When preparing fresh chilies, wear rubber gloves for protection
against oils that later can cause burning sensation on skin.

STUFFED QUAIL

2 quail
----STUFFING----
2 carrots, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
100 gm lean pork, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped mixed herbs (parsley,oregan; o,rosemary)
1 salt and pepper
100 ml vin santo (italian dessert wine)

Place stuffing ingredients in a flat dish and steam gently in the


oven at about 250'C for 15 min. Allow to cool for about 10 min, then
add a beaten egg and process until a thick paste is produced.

Take a boned quail and spread it out, skin side down on a board.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and place half of the
stuffing on the bird. Reshape the bird around the stuffing and tie in
place with either string or cocktail sticks. Repeat with the other
bird. Place both birds in the dish used for cooking the stuffing. Dot
with butter and cook in a moderately hot oven for about 40 min, until
golden brown. Serve with freshly steamed veg and spuds, to rapturous
applause!

Boning those quail.

If you can find a butcher stupid enough to do this then I would


recommend this, however if you can't it is fiddly, but not difficult,
and definately worthwhile. Place the bird, breast down on a board and
cut along the back bone, from end to end. Pull the skin and meat back
away from the bone. When you reach the joints for the legs and wings
use a heavy knife to break the joint. The bone should pop out of the
sockets fairly easily. Keep pulling the meat off the breast bone,
using a knife if neccesary. Finally you should be able to remove the
backbone, ribcage, and brest bone as one. The leg and wing bones can
be left in place, and in fact help maintain shape during reforming,
and cooking. This took me about 20 minutes for the first one, and
about half as long for the second.

I haven't done an in depth study but it would seem that this recipe is
fairly low in fat, especially if you leave the wine out and replace
it with stock? (chicken??, veg?). It is also cheap at less than three
pounds per head. Enjoy!

STUFFED VENISON PINWHEELS

2 whole venison backstraps,


1 rolled out 1/4 in. thick
1 quart whole milk
2 teaspoon wild game seasoning
1 lb velveeta cheese
1 can rotel tomatoes with diced
1 chiles
2 lb thinly sliced lean bacon
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
8 cloves garlic, finely mince

First, prepare the backstrap fillet. It's an extremely tender tubelike


piece of meat about 12 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. And
because of its shape, it can be cut around the perimeter, 1/4 inch
thick, and rolled out flat. To do this, you need a very sharp knife.
Start by laying out the fillet perpendicular to your body and making
a shallow slice about 1/4 inch deep in the meat. Then, as if slicing
through and unrolling paper towels from a roll, begin working around
the outside perimeter of the fillet until the backstrap comes out
looking like a round steak. It takes a little practice to do ... but
you can do it! When the meat is ready, place both pieces into a glass
or plastic container and cover them with whole milk. You want to
marinate the venison for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
The milk tenderizes the deer and helps to remove any unwanted gamey
flavor. After the marination process, remove the meat from the milk
(you can discard the milk), and pat the venison dry with several
paper towels. Then liberally sprinkle both sides with wild game
seasoning and rub it briskly into the meat. At this point, preheat
your oven to 400 degrees. Then, in your food processor, mix together
the Velveeta cheese and the Rotel tomatoes until smooth and creamy.
When you're ready to make the pinwheels, spread a thin layer of the
cheese mixture evenly over one side of the deer. Then place a layer
of bacon strips - side by side - on top of the cheese. Finish up the
preparation by lightly sprinkling on a little sliced green onions and
a little minced garlic. Now tightly roll up the flattened fillets and
set them aside momentarily. Then on the same work surface, lay out
another 8 to 10 strips of bacon side by side and put one of the
rolled backstraps on top of them. Now wrap the bacon strips around
the venison and pin them in place with toothpicks. When you are
finished, the backstrap should be completely encased in bacon strips.
Repeat with the other backstrap. All that's left is to take a sharp
knife, slice the rolled venison into 2 inch thick pinwheels, position
them on a shallow cookie sheet, and bake them - uncovered - in the
oven for about 40 to 45 minutes. You'll notice that a light sauce
will form in the bottom of the cookie sheet; you can use this to
baste the pinwheels as they cook. The one thing you don't want to do
is overcook the venison - it will come out dry and chewy instead of
juicy and tender if you do! Chef's Note: If you don't have wild game
seasoning on hand, you can lightly sprinkle the venison with salt,
black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and sweet basil as a
substitute. Unfortunately, most spice manufacturers don't make a
premixed wild game seasoning, but my company does. If you'd like me

SUCCOTASH

4 strips bacon, diced


1 small onion, finely chopped
1 10 -oz. package frozen corn kernels
1 16 -oz. package frozen lima beans
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
3/4 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

n recent years, I have discovered that there are different types of


succotash depending on which region of the country you are from. The
Pennsylvania Dutch succotash that I know and love is always made with
corn and lima beans. Sometimes they are just buttered, but most often
a little milk or cream is added, as in this recipe.
Fry bacon in large saucepan until crisp; drain thoroughly, reserving
enough grease to sauté the onions. Sauté the onion until soft. Add
the lima beans and water per package directions. Cook until slightly
tender; add the corn and cook until beans are done. Thoroughly drain
the water. Add the bacon bits and butter; combine until melted. Add
the milk and stir throughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Note: The amounts given here may be altered in any way to serve more
or less. The amount of milk used depends on how milky you prefer the
dish.

SUGAR-CURED KANGAROO, BARBEQUED

2 kg kangaroo back-strap, sinews trimmed


25 gm black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
125 gm coarse sea salt
125 gm sugar
8 juniper berries, crushed
100 gm fresh thyme
1 olive oil, to brush

Mix the salt, sugar, peppercorns, juniper berries and thyme. Evenly
spread the fillets with the mixture, place in a plastic tray and seal
well. Weigh the tray down with a similar size tray inserted as a lid
with weights, and leave in the refridgerator overnight.

Take the fillets from the tray and wipe off any excess moisture.
Brush with olive oil and bake on a very hot grill. Cooking time will
depend on the thickness of the fillets and may be as little as 4
minutes but no longer than 10 minutes. After the fillet is cooked it
is essential to rest the meat for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Serve with horseradish cream and a salad of bitter lettuces.

ALTERNATIVE: Use 'well-aged' old beef skirt fillet.

1 salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, coarsely
1 crushed
1/2 pint stout
3 tablespoon malt vinegar

1/4 pint chicken or beef stock
2 onions, chopped
6 allspice berries
4 cloves
4 bay leaves
2 tablespoon double cream
1 knob of beurre manie, if
1 needed

Trim the venison. Heat the butter and oil in a flameproof casserole
and brown the joint on both sides. Season with 1/2 ts of salt and the
crushed peppercorns. Add the stout, vinegar, sugar or redcurrant
jelly, stock, chopped onions, allspice, cloves and bay leaves. Bring
to the boil, then leave to simmer, covered, for 1-1 1/2 hours or
until the meat is tender. Remove the venison from the casserole and
keep it hot. Discard the bay leaves. Add the cream to the juices,
which should be much reduced. Thicken the sauce lightly with the
beurre manie if it seems to thin. Carve the shoulder into slices.
Serve the sauce separately.

SYLVIA'S GOOSE BREAST W/ BLACK RASPBERRY SAUCE

1 goose breast (2 filets) or


2 duck breasts (4 filets)
1 skinned and boned.
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 sauce:
1/4 cup black rasberry jelly
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon steak sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground carraway seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Combine these ingredients in a shallow dish and marinate the breasts


for at least three hours, turning often. (I've marinated overnight
even) Remove filets from the marinade, place on foil on a pre-heated
broiler and broil about 10 minutes per side, about 5 inches from the
heat source. While the breasts are broiling, prepared the following
sauce on teh stove. When the breasts are done, slice then diagonally
across the grain and ladle the sauce over them. It's a nice
presentation.

Sauce:

Combine all ingredients and and heat. We like to serve this with wild
rice dish. This recipe comes from Sylvia Bashline in The Bounty of
the Earth Cookbook 1979. This is our favorite recipe for waterfowl. I
love to hunt ducks and geese but I've never been fond of any recipe,

TABASCO CLASSIC - VENISON CHOPS MARCHAND DE M

8 venison chops, 4 ounces each


1 1/4 teaspoon tabasco pepper sauce
1 salt
1/4 lb butter or margarine, soften
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup muscadine jelly
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 chopped fresh parsley

Avery Island and the country around it abound in game, especially wild
ducks and geese, snipe, woodcock, doves and deer. We age our venison
for at least four weeks and cook it rare. We use muscadine jelly from
Callaway Gardens for our sauce, but you can use any flavorful fruit
jelly, such as grape or guava. Season the chops with 1 teaspoon of
the Tabasco sauce and sprinkle them with salt. In a large skillet,
melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil over medium-high heat. In
two batches, cook the chops for 5 minutes, turning once, and remove
to a warm platter.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the same skillet. Add the green
onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in the wine. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly to reduce to 1/2
cup. Stir in the jelly until it is melted. Add the remaining 1/4
teaspoon Tabasco sauce and salt to taste. Remove from the heat. Stir
in the remaining 5 tablespoons butter, a tablespoon at a time, until
the sauce is slightly thickened. Serve over the chops. Sprinkle with

TENDER JERKY

10 lb deer, elk, moose, etc. ground


2/3 cup curing sugar or curing salt in a p; inch
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 tablespoon msg
1 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoon black pepper
3 tablespoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Begin preparation by deboning and removing the tendons and fat from
the meat. It is important that you remove all fat or it will go
rancid. Either grind the meat yourself or have someone grind it for
you; a coarse grind gives the best results.

Mix the spices thoroughly and then add the spices a bit at a time
while kneading the meat like dough. Put the meat in the fridge for
at least 6 hours to allow the spices to work through the meat.

At this point you prepare the meat for jerking. If you have an
electric meat slicer, make the meat into logs about 4 x 14"; place
the meat in the fridge until it is solid but not frozen, and then
slice 1/8" slices from end to end. You'll end up with a big stack of
circular patties. If you don't have a slicer, roll the meat out to a
1/8" thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Remove the top paper
and score the meat into strips and place them in the freezer for
about 45 minutes. Remove the meat and break at the score marks.

Place the jerky on wire racks and place them in a 150 F. oven,
leaving the door ajar so moisture can escape and the heat does not
build up. Turn the jerky once or twice during drying and rotate the
racks if the jerky near the elements begins to dry too fast. On

fat until the meat changes color. Add 2 1/2 c of the soaking water and
bring this all to a boil. Add the bay leaves and reduce the heat to
low. Simmer the stew 1 hr with the lid ajar, stirring it occasionally.

Toast the cumin seeds 10 min over low heat. Blend them in a blender
until they are a fine powder. Add the soaked chiles, the rest of the
soaking water, and the garlic, oregano, paprika, sugar, and salt.
Blend this until the mess is smooth.

Stir the puree into the stew and cook it 30 more min with the lid
ajar, stirring it occasionally. Then, stirring constantly, add the
cornmeal in a thin stream and bring the chili to a boil. Cook,
stirring all the time, until it seems done. Add the cayenne if you

THE BRUNSWICK STEW

2 large squirrels
1 quart tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 pint lima beans or butter beans
2 teaspoon white sugar
1 minced onion
6 potatoes
6 ears of corn scraped from
1 the cob or
1 can sweet corn
1/2 lb butter
1/2 lb salt pork
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon pepper
1 gal water

"Take two large squirrels, one quart of tomatoes, peeled and sliced,
if fresh; one pint of lima beans or butter beans, two teaspoonfuls of
white sugar, one minced onion, six potatoes, six ears of corn scraped
from the cob, or a can of sweet corn, half a pound of butter, half a
pound of salt pork, one teaspoonful of salt, three level teaspoonfuls
of pepper and a gallon of water. Cut the squirrels up as for
fricassee, add salt and water and boil five minutes. Then put in the
onion, beans, corn, pork, potatoes and pepper, and when boiling again
add the squirrel.

"Cover closely and stew two hours, then add the tomato mixed with the
sugar and stew an hour longer. Ten minutes before removing from the
fire cut the butter into pieces the size of English walnuts, roll in
flower and add to the stew. Boil up again, adding more salt and
pepper if required."

The above is a receipt sent in to us, and I would give credit for it

THE WICHITA EAGLE'S VENISON MEAT LOAF

4 tablespoon melted butter


1 large onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely
1 chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely
1 chopped
2 lb ground venison
1 lb ground pork
3/4 lb ground pork fat
1/4 cup red wine
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives
2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon finely ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat two tablespoons of butter in a


saute pan. Add the onion, celery and garlic and cook six to eight
minutes until the vegetables are tender. Meanwhile, in a large mixing
bowl, combine the venison, pork, pork fa t, wine, bread crumbs, eggs,
Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, olives, mustard, pars ley, oregano,
cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix in the sauteed vegetables and stir we
ll. Brush the remaining two tablespoons of melted butter on the
bottom and sides of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Spoon in the loaf mixture
and level it. Cover tightly wit h aluminum foil and tap the pan
gently on the countertop to settle the mixture an d eliminate air
pockets. Place in a larger pan that is half-filled with boiling w
ater. This will prevent the meat loaf from burning on the bottom and
sides. Place in the oven and bake about 1¾ hours. Remove from the
oven, remove the aluminum f oil, and let the loaf rest for about 15
minutes.

To remove from the pan, run a dull knife between the pan and the
loaf, all arou nd the sides. Invert the pan over a plate, tilt the
plate and the pan, and run ho t water over the bottom of the pan. Tap
the bottom with the handle of the knife t o coax the loaf out onto
the platter. Pat dry and slice.

THREE-ALARM BUFFALO CHILI

5 lb buffalo stew meat (3/4


1 cubes)
1 or 2 fresh or pickled
1 jalapeno chilies
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or
1 pressed
2 large firm-ripe tomatoes, cored,
1 peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 large can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (12 ounces) beer
2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
2 to 3 teaspoons coarsely
1 ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/3 cup ground pasilla chili or
1 ground new mexico chili
1 water
1 salt

To prepare fresh jalapenos, hold each by the stem over a gas flame or
almost touching an electric burner on high, turning until chili is
charred on all sides. Let chilies stand until cool. Wearing gloves
(to prevent hands touching eyes) pull blistered skin from chilies.
Cut chilies in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds and veins; cut
off stems. Chop chilies finely; discard remainder. For pickled
chilies, cut off and discard stems and chop finely.

Add oil to a 6- to 8-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add meat, a


portion at a time, and cook until well browned on all sides. Add
onion and garlic and stir often until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped jalapenos, beer, oregano,
pepper, cumin, paprika, and ground pasilla chili; stir well. Bring
to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until meat is very tender
when pierced, about 2-1/2 hours; stir occasionally. If chili is
thinner than you like, uncover and simmer until some of the liquid
evaporates. If it's thicker, stir in water and bring to boiling. Add
salt to taste.

TOCANA DE VITA (ROMANIAN BEEF STEW)

1 lb stew beef,veal or venison


1 tablespoon fat
1 cup onion, minced
1 garlic bud
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon green pepper, minced
2 cup diced potatoes
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup cold water

Wash the meat in cold water, then let stand in the same. Brown
onions in fat, add paprika and mix well. Add the meat, pepper, salt
and garlic. Mix well, cover and let simmer for about 40 min. Add
boiling water, green pepper and again let simmer for about 20 min.
Mix the flour with cold water, add slowly to the meat and mix well.
Simmer for about two minutes then set the stew aside.
Place potatoes in salted water, bring to a boil and let boil for 5
min. Remove potatoes from hot water and place in stew. Bring stew to
a boil and simmer gently for about 5 min. Serve hot.
Sorry about the translation, it was literal, from grama.
In the old country they always washed the meat first before
cooking, I always thought it was just because it was freshly
butchered, but soaking the meat tenderizes it greatly, and adds
liquid to the stew for gravy. Beef or Veal neck or shank works great,
though venison neck works- add peeled chopped apple in last 5 min.

(make sure it has oil and vinegar to help tenderize the groundhog).
Throw marinade and critter pieces into plastic trash bag and marinade
around 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. Take out marinated critter
pieces and throw on the grill on low heat. Cook until rare to medium
rare. Do not overcook, critter will dry out. And no one likes their

TRISH GOOD'S FLASH CAMP MARINADE

4 steaks (any big-game will


1 work)
1 garlic salt
1 lemon
1 pepper
1 teriyaki sauce
1 beer or wine

Put steaks (use whatever size you like) into a steep-sided bowl. Rub
on garlic salt and lemon pepper, then shake in a liberal amount of
teriyaki sauce. Pour in a small amount of beer, but just enough to
cover the meat. In a civilized environment, white wine makes and
excellent replacement of beer.

Marinate for only a short time so that you don't mask the flavor of
the meat (about 15 to 20 minutes is plenty of time). And don't go
anywhere near a frying pan! Cook the steaks on a barbecue or, better
yet, on a grill over campfire coals. Cooking time will depend on the
thickness of the cuts, but never cook past medium-rare. Because of
game meat's low fat content, this will ensure that the steaks are
tender and juicy. Serves 4.

holes. If 1/2-inch plate is not available, sprinkle seasoning on top
of trimmings, thoroughly mix and grind once through a plate with
1/8-inch holes.

If sausage is to be stuffed, do this immediately for best results.


Stuff into natural hog casings, plastic bags or muslin bags (any
cloth bag made from strong cloth that has been washed several times
can be used). Natural hog casings can be obtained from meat markets,
local meat processing plants or stores. Soak them in warm, salty
water for about 1 hour or until they are pliable.

If bulk sausage is to be served soon after making, 3/4 cup of water


may be added to about 4 pounds of sausage. Knead with hands until
sausage becomes sticky. Pack tightly in small molds, pans or cans and
chill overnight before slicing.

Mix ingredients well and form into cake pans and cover.Cool in
refrigerator overnight.Turn upside down onto a cookie sheet and put
into smoker at 150 degrees for about 9 hours.(Be sure to remove from
cake pans so that a crust isn't formed). I like hickory best but use
whatever flavor you like.Make sure meat is pressed into pans firmly.

Let cool and slice it up and wrap.Freezes up to a year.Fry like


regular bacon but use a little oil with it because it is lean.

TRISH GOOD'S VENISON SALAMI

6 lbs, medium or fine ground


1 venison
6 tablespoon tender quick
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup mustard seed (optional)

Use whatever spices you like.I like to use coarse pepper and a lot of
it.I flatten the meat onto a counter top and cover it with
pepper.Then I mix it together.Do not use any salt unless you really
like it because you have already used Tender Quick. I made that
mistake once.

Mix meat together and divide into 6 equal parts.Form into rolls.
Looks a lot like a small loaf of bread.Wrap and refrigerate
overnight.Remove wrap and set onto broiler pan and bake at 300
degrees for one hour. Remove from pan and wipe excess fat off with
paper towel.Let cool,then wrap and freeze.This is really good for a
sandwich,with crackers and cheese or just by itself.skip

STUFFING AND COOKING THE MEAT MIX.

There are several methods tht you can use to stuff and cook your meat
mix. To stuff your meat mix, you can either purchase casings from you
meat market or you can use cans to shape your sausage. If you use
commercial casings you need to make them pliable by soaking in a
solution of 1 pint warm water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 1 teapoon
salt for three hours. Rinse casings thoroughly before stuffing. After
Page 1406

stuffing, cook sausage with one of the methods described below. When
using cans, be sure the meat is thoroughly packed in the cans to
avoid air pockets. A no. 2 1/2 can is a convenient size. Cover the
stuffed cans with foil before cooking. Cooked sausage can be stored
safely in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks, or it can be frozen.
Frozen sausage should be used within 2 to 3 months for best quality.

COOKING METHODS:

PRESSURE SAUCEPAN METHOD OF COOKING: Place cans of sausage or casings


filled with sausage on rack in pressure saucepan. Put 1 cup water in
the bottom of the pan and place cover on cooker. Follow operating
directions that came with your pressure saucepan and cook 15 minutes
at 15 pounds of pressure, or at "cook" position. When cooking time is
completed, set pressure cooker off heat and leave sealed until
pressure has returned to the zero position.

Place a large pan in the sink and fill with 3 to 4 inches of ice
water, remove sausage from cooker and place in water to cool. If
necessary add more cold water, being careful not to let water run
into the cans. When cool remove sausage from cans, and refrigerate or
wrap sausage for freezing.

OVEN METHOD OF COOKING:

Place filled cans or stuffed casing on rack in baking pan and bake at
325 F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool, package, and store as directed
under pressure saucepan method.

SMOKING METHOD: USE ONLY WITH STUFFED SAUSAGE CASINGS

Hang stuffed sausage casings in smoke house. Hot smoke at 160 degrees
to 180 degrees F for about 8 hours. Test for doneness by inserting a
thermometer into the center of the sausage. The internal temperature,
when done, should be at least 165 degrees F. When cool, regfrigerate
or wrap sausage as indicated for other cooking methods.

TYROLEAN INN CARIBOU

8 oz wild mushrooms - tree oyster


1 shiitake, wood ear, morels,
1 chantrelles
8 oz bourbon (i like jack
1 daniels)
1 butter
1 black walnuts - ground
4 shallots (minced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 maple syrup
1 meat glaze

Meat Glaze (made by reducing a beef stock to a consistency that will


coat the back of a spoon.) If this is unavailable you may use beef
bouillion, but the flavor will be much less intense.

Allow about 6.5 oz of meat per person. Cut meat into small medallions
and pound with meat hammer to 1/4 inch in thickness. If the flavor or
odor of the meat is too strong for your taste, soak the meat in

buttermilk for 5-6 hours. Drain and pat dry before using. Procedure

Saute shallots and garlic in clarified butter till they sweat. Add the
mushrooms. When the mushrooms have expelled their water and it is
evaporated remove ingredients from the pan.

Add more clarified butter to sear meat. Flour the medallions and shake
off excess. Sear on each side in the hot oil. Meat should remain rare
in the center.

Remove pan from flame. Add bourbon (an ounce or so per serving) and
return to heat and flame.

Remove meat from pan. Keep warm. Return garlic, shallots and mushrooms
to pan. Add 1 1/2 oz. of meat glaze a pinch of black walnuts and a
touch of syrup for each serving.

Melt the meat glaze. When the sauce begins to boil whip in pieces of
cold butter to desired consistency. (If bouillion has been used it
will be necessary to knead the butter with some flour to bring the
sauce to the correct consistency). Very little is needed. Season to
taste with salt and pepper. Serve over the medallions.

1 can tomato soup, undiluted
1 1/2 quart water

Uncle Chuck is not a gourmet cook, and when he found this recipe it
called for 5 cloves of garlic, crushed. I intercepted him just
before he started crushig 5 entire heads of garlic. With that
intervention, the recipe came out just fine.

VARIOUS EDIBLE SOUTHWESTERN PLANTS

1 cactus
1 agave
1 yucca
1 beaver tail
1 ocotillo

1. Agave leaves taste horrible uncooked -- which probably explains why


natives cooked them for a day or more in steam pits. Next time, I'll
try it this way.

2. Yucca root -- had an area of land that we developed into a garden


and removed some yucca plants, dug up roots which were very thick
(like head of a baseball bat), midium brown in color. Cleaned and
wrapped in alum. foil, put in oven at 400F. for several hours. There
was a horrible smell from dripping juices, also a distinct smell of
melted wax, which covers the root. After the root felt soft to touch,
I took it out. The resulting dish was incredibly good tasting -- sort
of a cross between a semi-sweeet potatoe and squash.

3. Beaver tail cactus pads -- cleaned out a bunch of these as well,


held over open fire to destroy the spines, wrapped in alum. foil and
cooked for about 30 min. in hot coals. I found the taste to be lemony
but others tasted it as sweet. This is same experience I had last
year, wondering if it's a genetic thing.

4. Ocotillo Flowers -- added them to salad directly and cooked in


soups. I found the taste to be pleseant but some people had tingling
sensation in their mouths for 15 min. I've encountered the same
reaction when some people eat day lily flowers (though I find that
they taste sweet).

not over smoke. Smoke slowly each day until desired smoke flavor is
reached. If dry sausage is desired, allow to hang until thoroughly
dry about 30 days or more. Place in freezing comppartment of freezer
for another 30 days. Ready to eat as desired. If fresh sausage
rather than smoked is desired, sausage mayy be kept frozen for a
short pperiod of time and cooked as desired.

VENISON HARD METTWURST SMOKED SUMMER SAUSAGE

2 1/2 lb deer or elk, trimmed


1 1/2 lb pork shoulder or butt,
1 untrimmed
1 tablespoon canning salt
1 1/2 tablespoon ground pepper
4 teaspoon morton's tender-quick
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon msg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more
5 oz cold water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Mix the spices with the water, then mix this with the ground meats
thoroughly. Grind again with a hamburger plate (1/8 inch holes) for a
finer textured sausage. Makes 3 sausages.

To smoke sausage without casing:

Refrigerate the mixture 2 to 4 hours for better shaping. Shape 4


pounds of mixed sausage into three loaves 1 1/2" to 2" in diameter by
10" to 12" long. Place each loaf on an 18" long piece of plastic
wrap, then roll up tightly. Knead this sausage loaf carefully to
eliminate air pockets in the sausage. Prick any air pockets with
knife or ice pick, and twist the ends loosely to make a temporary
casing.

Place the wrapped sausage loaves running across the wires on your
smokers grid. This will produce a better appearance on the finished
product. Leave 1/4" space between sausages for heat penetration. Wet
smoke-cook in a water smoker, or cook in a custom smoker or kettle
grill, or oven, for 45 to 50 minutes at 250 degrees. Do not exceed
275 degrees, or the plastic wrap may melt. You need to cook just long
enough to "set-up" the meat, 120-130 degrees internal.

Remove the sausage from the smoker, and cool for 10 to 30 minutes in
the plastic. You want the meat to reabsorb the liquids, for a moist
sausage. Then, remove the plastic wrap. Remove any liquid and
sediment from the surface with a paper towel. Dry smoke for 40 to 60
minutes, to an internal temperature of 150 to 155 degrees. Check the
temp with a meat thermometer from the end of the sausage. Remove
immediately when done, cool and refrigerate.

Age for 12 hours up to 5 days in the refrigerator for mellowing out


before serving. Cover with foil or plastic to prevent drying out.
This can be kept up to 6 months in the freezer without great loss of
flavor by wrapping in foil and placing it in a plastic bag.

Notes: I tasted the beef version of this recipe, which is made with 1
1/2 lb beef chuck & 2 1/2 lb pork, and does not have the extra garlic
& black pepper at the end of the recipe. Twelve people made 1 sausage

VENISON HEAD CHEESE

1 head of a moose, elk or


1 caribou plus [optionally]
1 heart, tongue and trimmings
1/2 cup salt
1 gal water
1 for each 3 lbs meat:
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon onion flakes
1 tablespoon red and green pepper flakes
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Clean the head by removing the eyes, ears, brains and all the skin.
Trim off all the fat. Cut head into pieces and soak in brine made of
1/2 cup salt added to one gallon of water for at least 6 hours. This
will draw out the blood.

Drain the pieces and rince thoroughly in clean water. Place in a


large pot, add meat trimmings, cover with hot water, bring to a boil,
then reduce heat and simmer until the meat can be removed from the
bone.

Trim the meat from the bones and chop. Weigh the meat. Strain the
broth, then let it boil down until you have 4 cups broth for each 3
pounds meat. Add the meat to the broth with the seasonings. Heat the
mixture, simmer 15 minutes. Pour into bread pans, cover and chill til
firm.

For a firmer jelly, add 1 ts gelatin softened in 1 tb for each 2 cups


of liquid.

VENISON HONEY BOLOGNA

10 lb venison
2 1/2 lb back fat
5 oz salt
2 teaspoon prague powder #2
4 oz corn syrup solids
1/2 cup honey
6 oz fermento
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

I'm not certain this is really what honey bologna is, but the regular
version of this using powdered dextrose is one of the tastiest
sausages I have ever made. Basically, this is the Kutas recipe for
Lebanon bologna with honey substituted, with a little extra, and
using venison larded with back fat instead of beef. When you do this
with beef, you grind the meat through a 1/2 inch plate, mix it with
the salt, then let it sit 5 to 6 days, draining off the liquid. Then
you add 3/4 ounce of salt. However, as I discovered with the venison,
being a firmer and leaner meat, there won't be any liquid to draw off
~ so you might want to back off a bit on those 5 ounces of salt and
definitely add no more when it comes to mixing. I left the venison in
the fridge just 4 days, keeping it in one of those large white
kitchen trash bags to keep it from air-drying. I overhauled it once
during this time.

The problem with corn syrup solids is that they want to stick
together and that can be a problem in the finished sausage - you are
likely to get lumps. I keep them vacuum sealed to avoid these hard
clumps from forming in storage. This tendency would not normally be a
problem, but this recipe calls for no water - so you can't dissolve
the spices in the blender with liquid. What I did was mix it with the
dryer Fermento, then mix it all into the venison (after I'd run the
venison through a 3/8" plate). There was still a sticky mess in the
bottom of the bowl that just wouldn't dissolve, but the next step
took care of that. In order to insure proper distribution of the
cure, I ignored the recipe and dissolved the Prague Powder #2 in a
cup of cold water and mixed that in. This additional moisture - okay
in my mind because of the dryness of the meat - got the remaining
gook off the bottom of the mixing bowl. I figured this would be a
good time to mix in the honey, so I drizzled that over the meat and
mixed it in. Next, I mixed in the back fat, which was previously
ground through an 1/8" plate. I worked this in a little at a time,
until the consistency seemed right, mixed in all the spices, and
ground the whole shebang through an 1/8" plate. I let it sit in the
fridge for a couple hours while I got the smoker ready - stabilized
at 90º F, a wet towel over the smokestack, and a dutch oven filled
with water on the burner to get the humidity up.

Kutas specifies fermenting thusly: 16 hours at 90º F, 90% humidity 28


hours at 105º F, 85% humidity 6 hours at 110º F, 85% humidity
Page 1455

Now I can hold those temperatures fairly well, within 3 or so


degrees, but the humidity is just gonna be very high since I have no
way of regulating that. The dutch oven and wet towel insure that. I
weighed out the meat and it was exactly 208 ounces - or 13 pounds. I
decided to make 5 sausages, so I got out five 3 1/2 x 24 inch casings
and set them a-soaking in vinegar (that helps prevent sticking). I
weighed out five ~41 ounce balls of sausage mixture and prepared to
stuff. The idea here was to make them as even as possible and that 5
pound stuffer I just bought is just the ticket for that - very little
meat is left in it when its plunger hit the bottom and, wow, does
that hydraulic plus gear ratio thing ever pack a sausage tight! One
by one, I put the 41 ounce balls in there, sealing the ends with a
half inch hog ring. Well, all but the first one. See there's still a
little bit, maybe a couple of ounces or so, of meat left in there.
After I had sealed the last sausage, I took the "residue" from the
bottom of the stuffer and put it in the first sausage with a spoon.
Then I sealed it. The result was 5 sausages, all the same size. Prick
'em liberally and paint them once more with vinegar, for good measure.

I'm sticking with the times Kutas suggested, and that's a really long
time! The fermenting started Tuesday at 3:30pm, first temprature bump
yesterday at 7:30am, and the last one will be this morning at
11:30am. Then, the smoking/cooking will start about 5:30pm this
afternoon. Kutas suggests heavy smoking for a day or two, without
heat, then raising the temperature to 150º F until the sausage
temperature reaches 137º. That's for beef, I might take it a little
higher for the venison, though this stuff has been frozen long enough
to kill any trichina. If you're in doubt, get the internal
temperature up to 152º. I'm going to get the smokehouse temperature
at 130º after 5:30, vents wide open, goodbye towel and dutch oven,
let's let this stuff dry out a bit. You cannot smoke wet sausage.
After a couple of hours, I'll smoke it overnight then cook it
tomorrow. Then it has to age about a week in the fridge before it is
ready to eat!

tender, and *> less gamey flavor? *> Showgirl

M#@> I have found the very best marinade for venison is good old
Italian M#@> Dressing! Just marinate over night in the fridge! It
helps if you stab M#@> the meat with a fork all over first. Put the
meat in a bowl (at about 6 M#@> or 7 pm), pour a whole bottle of
dressing over the meat and cover with M#@> plastic wrap and put it in
the fridge. Just before you go to bed, turn M#@> it over and let it
stay that way till dinner time the next day!! M#@> Simple!

Mmmm, sounds like my old standby marinade for "cheap" cuts of steak.
Here's a good venison marinade you might like - it's also an
excellent salad dressing <g>

~ Halve the garlic, set half aside. - W/ a meat tenderizer, gently


pound the venison steaks, try not to make the holes too deep. - Mash
the green peppercorns up, and rub onto the steaks - Rub the garlic
into the steaks. Set steaks aside in fridge for 1 hour. - Combine
1,remaining 2,3,4,5,6 in small pot - Heat this mixture slowly
(SLOWLY) until it is ALMOST boiling (but NOT boiling) and turn the
heat down until it is JUST on ... very soft heat, allow to cool down
cool enough to touch. - Pound the steaks again, gently but firmly w/
tenderizer - lay the steaks in a shallow container, side by side and
cover w/ 1/2 mixture (still warm, but NOT hot) - Let it sit and hour,
then turn and do again.

VENISON MEDALLION WITH STILTON SOUFFLE

4 single 4oz medallions of venison


1 saddle (or lamb noisettes or
1 fillet steak)
2 medium leeks
1 oz butter
1 salt and pepper
1 oz flour
1/3 pint milk
3 eggs, separated
3 oz grated stilton

If using lamb for this recipe, marinading for 24 hr with red wine,
herbs, onion and crushed juniper berries, will give a super gamey
flavour. Seal the meat on all sides in a little oil in a very hot
pan. Put aside to cool. Cut leeks in half lengthways, blanch in
boiling water for 1 min then cool.

Tie strips of leek around each medallion, leaving 1/2" above the
level of the meat. Pre-heat oven to 425F/225C/Gas 8. Melt the butter
in a pan, add the flour. Cook for 30 sec then whisk in milk. Season
well, then whisk in egg yolks and Stilton. Beat the egg whites until
stiff and fold gently into the mixture. Divide the mixture into four
and fill the cavity left by the leeks on each medallion. Cook on a
buttered tray for 12-14 min and serve immediately. Serves 4.

VENISON OR BEEF JERKY & VARIATIONS

3 lb meat
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup worchestershire sauce
2 teaspoon accent
2/3 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoon onion powder
2/3 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Cut meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick strips. Mix all other
ingredients to make a marinade. Submerge meat in marinade for 24
hours. Place meat strips directly on the rack in the oven and cook
for 8 hours at 150 degrees.

Flavoring ingredients for jerky-

HERBS: basil thyme marjoram oregano sage

SPICES: celery seed caraway seed cloves tumeric ginger nutmeg pepper

OTHERS: tabasco sauce soy sauce worchestershire sauce chili sauce A-1
sauce catsup onions garlic

SWEETENERS: honey molasses brown sugar fruit juices

SPIRITS: bourbon brandy rum wines

JERKY MAKING TIPS

If using oven, leave door open slightly to allow moisture to escape.

Be careful of temperature. Jerky is dried, not cooked so the


temperature has to be low. Originally, jerky was dried in the sun by
hanging the meat from wooden racks. If your using a gas range you may
find that the pilot light will supply all the heat you need.

If you use more than one rack remember that each rack will cure at
different speeds due to one being a little closer to heat source.
Rotating the racks every so often will even out the drying times.

Oven temperature setting tend to vary from what the dial says. I have
a thermometer I use to hold oven door ajar with and keep track of
oven temp at the same time.

When experimenting with ingredients I sample the marinade before


adding the meat. This way I know if I've got too much of any one
ingredient. Better to start out with not enough salt or sugar and
work up to what I like than end up with something I can't eat.

1 package of yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 cup grated cheese
1 small onion, chopped

1 oregano
1 garlic powder
1 pepper
1 thyme

First, measure flour into large bowl. In a separate container combine


buttermilk, butter, honey and salt. Heat the buttermilk mixture to
lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add yeast and milk mixture
to flour and combine to make a firm dough. Turn dough out and kneed
for about 6 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Put the
dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until double in bulk,
about 1 hour. While dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Grate
plenty of cheese. Chop some onions and some wild chive if you have
some handy. Fry venison, crumbling it as you fry. When dough has
risen, punch it down, divide it in half, and roll out the two parts
to fit your baking sheets. The dough should be about 1/4-inch thick.
Let the rolled out dough rise for about 15 minutes. Spread a generous
amount of pizza sauce on the dough. Sprinkle on plenty of oregano,
garlic powder, pepper and a little thyme. Top with grated cheese and
the crumbled venison. Bake at 350F for 20 to 30 minutes.

VENISON ROAST

3 lb chunk of venison roast (or


1 roll it if its in steak
1 form)
2 cup onion - cut up (2 in.
1 pieces)
2 cup potato - cut up
1 cup carrots - cut up
1 cup fresh mushrooms - sliced
2 tablespoon liquid smoke
3 tablespoon (or more) worchestershire
1 sauce
3 tablespoon (or more) soy sauce
1/2 cup beef broth

Contributed to the echo by: Bob Lester Assorted Meat herbs (whatever
you like) Put a LARGE oven cooking bag in an oblong baking pan (so
that the bag fits inside the pan). To the bag, add the venison. Add
all liquids, then veggies around the meat. Put the 'shrooms on top of
everything else, then the spices on top of them. You want to have
about 1 inch of liquid in the bottom of the bag, so if you need more,
add a little water (or white wine!).

Seal bag. Poke several small holes in top of bag to let steam escape.
Bake at 300-325 for 3-1/2 hours. (If you chop the veggies big, they
won't overcook).

VENISON ROLLUPS

1 text file

If you want to try something a little different, we like to make steak


rollups from time to time. Take about a 2 inch steak and butterfly
it. Then (this is the hard part because I hate pounding a good steak)
pound the steak flat with a meat hammer on both sides. Chop green
onions and mix them with a tub of cream cheese. Spread this mixture
on the steak, then roll the steak up like a log. Wrap a piece of
bacon around the steak and toothpick it. Put the steaks on a broiler
rack and bake at about 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Then turn
the broiler on and broil them for about 5 minutes a side. This will
cook the bacon and get the mixture oozing out the sides and gives it
all a nice grilled color. You can discard the bacon if you like.
Serve with favorite side dishes. These things are delicious,
fattening and easy to make. Good luck!

VENISON SAUCES

1/4 lb sugar
1/2 pint champagne vinegar
1 sweet sauce:
6 oz white or red currant jelly
6 oz white or red wine

Sharp Sauce:

Sharp Sauce:--A quarter-pound of the best loaf-sugar, or white


candy-sugar, dissolved in a half-pint of Champagne vinegar, and
carefully skimmed.

Sweet Sauce:--Melt some white or red currant jelly with a glass of


white or red wine, whichever suits best in color; or serve jelly
unmelted in a small sweetmeat-glass. This sauce answers well for
hare, fawn, or kid, and for roast mutton to many tastes.

Gravy for Venison:--Make a pint of gravy of trimmings of venison or


shanks of mutton thus: broil the meat on a quick fire till it is
browned, then stew it slowly. Skim, strain, and serve the gravy it
yields, adding salt and a teaspoonful of walnut pickle.

VENISON STEAK WITH JUNIPER BERRY AND FIERY RED CHILE SAUCE

2 tablespoons dried juniper berries


3 cups unsweetened dark grape juice
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopp; ed
2 cups veal (or beef) stock
4 whole dried chiles de arbol
6 venison steaks, 8-10 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper

Red wine can be used instead of grape juice in the recipe. It is not
included here because alcohol is prohibited on many reservations. Also,
commercially sold berries tend to be more aromatic and pungent. If using
store-bought juniper berries, use half the amount called for. From 'Foods
of the Southwest Indian Nations' by Lois Ellen Frank, serves 6.

Wine ideas from Tara Q. Thomas: Steer clear of high-alcohol reds here,
which would ignite a fire when they come into contact with the chile.
Better choices would be soft, juicy reds with some spicy, gamey flavor,
like a simple Ctes-du-Rhne, or, if you can find it, Carlson Vineyard's
Tyrannosaurus Red, a spicy, grapey wine made from Lemberger grown in
Colorado.
To make sauce, wrap juniper berries in a clean kitchen towel and crush them
using a mallet or heavy skillet. Remove them from the towel and place in a
saucepan with grape juice, bay leaves, thyme and shallots. Simmer over
medium heat 20-25 minutes, until liquid has reduced to 1 cup.

Add veal stock, bring to a boil, then decrease heat to medium and simmer
for another 15 minute, until the sauce has reduced to 1 1/2 cups.

While the sauce is reducing, place the chiles in a small bowl and remove
their stems and seeds. With your fingers, tear the chiles into pieces about
the size of small beans. If you are sensitive to chiles, wear gloves to
tear the chiles into pieces. Set aside.

Remove the sauce from the heat and pass it through a fine sieve to remove
the herb leaves and berry skins.

Heat coals in an open grill until very hot (or heat a grill pan over high
heat until very hot).

Brush each of the steaks on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes, until
they have charred marks. Rotate the steaks a half turn and grill for
another 3 minutes, until the steaks have a crosshatched charred pattern.

Flip steaks over and grill for about 5 minutes more, until done as desired.

Ladle sauce onto each plate, top with steaks, patterned-side up, and
sprinkle with chile peppers.

VENISON STEAK WITH RATATOUILLE

1 head of broccoli, cut into


1 florets
1 for the ratatouille
1 broccoli stalk, chopped
3 broccoli florets
1/2 potato, peeled and diced
1 dash olive oil
1 red onion, diced
4 oz wild mushrooms, sliced
1/2 glass red wine
1 tomato, de-seeded and diced
1 salt
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 for the steak
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 venison steak, cut into
1 strips
2 oz plain flour
1/2 glass red wine
1 salt
1 freshly ground black pepper

Bring a medium pan of water to the boil. Cook the broccoli florets for
5-6 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from the heat and drain.
Heat a chargrill pan and chargrill the cooked broccoli in the dry pan
for 3-4 minutes until charred, then keep warm until ready to serve.
To make the ratatouille, heat the oil in a pan then saute the
remaining broccoli florets, broccoli stalk, potato and onion for a
few minutes, over a gentle heat to soften. Add the mushrooms to the
pan and cook for a further minute. Stir the red wine, tomato and
seasoning into the pan and heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the
vegetables are soft. To make the venison steak, heat the oil in a pan
until hot. Coat the venison strips in the flour, and pan-fry for 2-3
minutes. Pour in the red wine, season to taste and heat for a further
minute. Transfer the chargrilled broccoli florets to a serving plate
and spoon the ratatouille around. Serve the sliced venison on top.

VENISON STEAKS & CHOPS

----KEYWORDS: WILD GAME COOKING----


----SOURCE: WILD GAME COOKING----

Copyright & 1988 by Jonquil & Edward Barr, ISBN 0 9509182 5 3 First
published in Great Britain in 1988 by: Rosendale Press Ltd, 140
Rosendale Road London SE21 8LG Steaks and chops can be cut from the
leg or loin. The fillet steaks from young deer are delicious and
tender and, we find, do not really need to be marinated before
cooking. We prefer to quick fry them, rather than grill (broil), as
this is more controllable and keeps them very moist. Have fillet
steaks, or medallions cut about 2 cm/3/4 inch thick. Heat a very
heavy frying pan over a high heat until almost red hot, then quickly
add a mixture of butter and oil, allowing 7.5 ml/1/2 tbsp each for
every two steaks. If they are large steaks or chops add more butter
and oil, but not too much. Put the steaks in the pan. They will sear
fast. Using a palette knife, not a fork, turn them over to brown the
other sides. Then turn the heat down to medium and cook for a further
3-4 minutes on each side. Always undercook venison- serve a little
pink. Remove the steaks to a hot dish and keep very hot while you add
one of the mixtures below to the pan to make a sauce for the steaks.
1) 3 crushed juniper berries, 1 wineglass of red wine, and salt and
pepper to taste: boil, then simmer for a few minutes, working all the
residue from the steaks into the sauce. 2) A handful of seeded
grapes, cut in half, 15 ml/1 tbsp of brandy, 1 wineglass of red wine,
and salt and pepper to taste: boil and simmer, working in the
residue. 3) 15 ml/1 tbsp of Dijon mustard, 1/2 wineglass of red wine,
and salt and pepper to taste: boil and simmer, working in the
residue, then add a little single (light) cream. 4) 3-4 spring onions
(scallions), cut finely and cooked for a few seconds in a little
butter in the pan, add 1 wineglass of dry white wine added and
simmer, then stir in a little single (light) cream with salt and
pepper to taste. Cook large steaks or chops in the same way, but add
2 wineglasses of red wine, and salt and pepper to taste after the
steaks have been seared. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, according to the
size and taste.

VENISON STEAKS WITH CHESTNUTS & FIGS

1 stephen ceideburg
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 black pepper
50 gm chopped green onions
200 ml port wine
300 ml stock
24 peeled chestnuts
1 tablespoon butter
8 venison medallions
4 figs

By rights, this dish requires lengthy preparation of a stock made


with the bones and trimmings of venison. However, this is impossible
for most of us who buy venison as a boneless fillet.

A good beef stock is a satisfactory substitute and if you use a


canned beef bouillon (Campbells makes one) and prepare the chestnuts
in advance, the meal can be prepared very rapidly.

Melt half a tablespoon of butter in a heavy saucepan, add a good


grinding of black pepper and gently cook 50 g chopped green (spring)
onions. Add 200 mL port and reduce. Add 300 mL stock and 24 peeled
chestnuts and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the sauce becomes
syrupy. Set aside and keep warm.

Heat a heat a heavy-based frying pan, add a tablespoon of butter.


When it is very hot, cook 8 medallions of venison, each about 1 cm
thick.

Sear them for a maximum of 1 minute on each side, to ensure they are
still rare.

Meanwhile, butter a baking tray and slice onto it 4 figs. Place under
a grill to heat through.

Divide the sauce and chestnuts between four heated plates and add to
each plate 2 medallions of venison and a fan of fig slices. Serve
immediately.

Do not overcook the venison here. It should be done no more than

SAUCE:

This sauce is excellent for furred game, especially if the meat has
not been marinated. It is very much in the traditional European
Hunter's Style, which uses juinper berries and pickles. It was
developed through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by cooks
working on the great landed-gentry estates of France, Poland and
Germany.

1. Clean mushrooms thoroughly under brisk running water.

2. Combine the mushrooms and about 2 cups of water in a saucepan, and


Page 1509

bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat, and let simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove reconstituted mushrooms from broth, and set aside for later
addition to sauce.

3. Prepare a roux: Saute the onions in the butter until they are
almost traansparent; add the flour, and stir for 1 minute.

4. Add the simmered mushroom extract, strained meat stock, and red
wine to the roux mixture, and stir till blended and slightly
thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Add juniper berries, allspice, mustard, paprika, reconstituted


mushrooms, and dill pickles. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt and

VENISON STEW #3

2 lb stew meat
6 carrots
6 potatoes
2 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 dash allspice

Brown the cubed meat in the oil, add two cups of water, then the rest
of the ingredients. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Remove bay
leaves, add carrots and potatoes, cook another 30-45 minutes or until
tender. As a footnote, I've just browned the meat, then dumped
everything in the "crockpot" on low. It produces a stew that tastes
as tho' it already been reheated several times. IMHO, that's the
best stew.

1 few dried mushrooms
1 pepper
1 plenty of herbs (no rosemary
1 or sage)
1 little salt
1 clove of garlic
1 thick slice of fat ham or
1 bacon
1 for the marinade:
1 sliced onion
1 chopped carrot
1 stick of celery
1 cup warmed olive oil
1 clove or two of garlic
2 bay leaves
1 thyme or marjoram
1 ground black pepper
1 little salt
1 tablespoon crushed coriander
1 half a bottle of red wine
1 thyme or marjoram
1 ground black pepper
1 little salt
1 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds
1 for the cherry sauce:
1 breakfast cupful of bottled
1 cherries, stoned
2 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
1 scrap of black pepper
1 teaspoon wine vinegar
2 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds

For a piece of venison weighing about 1.4kg/3lb (preferably from the


shin of the animal, and boned) make a cooked marinade consisting of a
sliced onion, a chopped carrot, a small stick of celery lightly
browned in a cupful of warmed olive oil. When these have been cooking
5 minutes add a clove or two of garlic, 2 bay leaves, thyme or
marjoram, ground black pepper, a little salt, and 15g/1 tbsp crushed
coriander seeds. Pour a half bottle of red wine into the pan and
simmer the marinade for about 15 minutes. When it has cooled, pour it
over the meat.

Leave the venison in the marinade for 2 days. To cook the meat, take
it from the marinade and free it from any pieces of vegetables
sticking to it. Brown it in the hot fat, put in an earthenware pot
into which it will fit without too much space to spare. In the same
pan fry a sliced onion and a sliced carrot. Put these into the pot,
pour over the strained marinade, add 2 teacupfuls of water, a few
Page 1525

dried mushrooms, pepper, plenty of herbs (no rosemary or sage), a


little salt, and a clove of garlic. Over the top of the venison put a
thick slice of fat ham or bacon. Cover the pan with a tight- fitting
lid and let the liquid just come to the boil. Thereafter let it cook
very slowly, preferably in the oven for about 31/2 hours.

While the meat is cooking prepare the cherry sauce. Take the stones
out of a breakfast cupful of bottled cherries. In a small pan
dissolve 30g/2 tbsp of redcurrant jelly. Add the cherries and a
little of their juice, a scrap of black pepper, a 1 tsp wine vinegar,
10g/2tsp crushed coriander seeds. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Fifteen minutes before serving press all the liquid and the vegetables
from the venison through a sieve. Keep the meat hot in its covered
pan. Reduce the sauce obtained from the venison to two thirds of its
volume by rapid boiling. Add it to the cherry sauce and pour the
whole thing back over the meat. Cut the slice of bacon into large
squares, put it round the meat, and return the pot to the oven for a
few minutes. The coriander seeds are important to the dish - they
give an aromatic orangey flavour. Brown lentils go well with stewed
venison.

VENISON WITH CRANBERRIES

1 lb (to 1 1/2 lb) venison loin


3 tablespoon orange juice
3 tablespoon gin
12 oz bag cranberries
2/3 cup dry red wine
2/3 cup maple syrup
3 strips lemon zest
3 strips orange zest
1 cinnamon stick
1 salt, black pepper, and cayenne pep; per
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 sprigs of tarragon, chervil or pars; ley for garnish

Cut the meat in to «-inch thick medallions. Marinate in the orange


juice and gin in a shallow dish for 20-30 minutes/

Pick through the cranberries, removing any stems. combine the wine,
maple syrup, zests and cinnamon stick in a heavy saucepan and bring
to a boil. Add the cranberries, reduce the heat, and gently simmer
for 3-4 minutes, or until barely cooked. Remove the pan from the heat
the moment the cranberry skins begin to split; they should not be
mushy.

Strain the berries over another heavy saucepan. Discard the zests and
cinnamon stick, and boil the sauce until thick and syrupy. There
should be about 3/4 cup sauce. Let it cool slightly and stir in the
cranberries. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Keep the
sauce warm.

Just before serving, drain the meat and thoroughly blot dry. Season
each medallion with coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Heat the
oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Cook the meat for 1 minute
per side, or until cooked to taste. Spoon the cranberry sauce on a
platter or plates and arrange the medallions on tops. Garnish with
herb sprigs and serve at once.

Note1: You could also prepare beef, pork, or veal medallions the same
way.

Note2: You can also grill the meat. High-Flavor, Low-Fat Cooking by

VENISON WITH CURRANTS AND CHANTERELLES

2 lb venison meat, boned; cubed o


2 cup veal stock; or water
3 cup red wine
1 tablespoon dried onion; crushed
2 cl garlic; crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb fresh currants; --or--
1 cup currant jelly
4 oz fresh chanterelles; or 2 oz.
2 tablespoon arrowroot
1 mixed w. 1/3 cup water

Recipe by: plgold@ix.netcom.com (Pat Gold) 1. "Hot-marinade" the


venison by combining it with the water or stock, wine, onion, garlic,
and salt, and bring all these ingredients to a boil. Let them simmer,
covered, for 1 hour, or until the venison is tender.

2. Add currants or currant jelly and chanterelles, and bring back to


a boil. Thicken with the arrowroot-and-water mixture. The use of
currant jelly instead of fresh currants will make a slightly sweeter
sauce. Adjust for salt, and serve with rice.

Notes: Currants are a favorite in European cooking because they


combine fruitiness with acidity. Chanterelles are the best mushrooms
to use with game because of their almost fruitlike flavor.

Serve with apricot rice and a Sterling Vineyards Merlot.

VENISON WITH RED WINE-CHERRY SAUCE

1 venison tenderloin (about 1


1 pound)
1 large clove garlic, cut into thin
1 slivers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 6
1 sprigs
1 salt and freshly ground
1 black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine or cranberry
1 juice
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 tablespoon red currant jelly
2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Game, wine, and fruit.... the combination makes me think of the


comfort and warmth of a romantic country weekend.

Since venison is a lean meat, you never cook it very long, which means
you have more time to spend on each other.

Because there is not a lot of fat and the meat itself has a big
flavor, it complements the forward tastes in the red wine-cherry
sauce. In the winter, there is no better choice to serve for a
romantic dinner for two than this luscious meat.

But if you can't get venison, by all means substitute a pork


tenderloin; the preparation works equally well (see note).

Arrange each plate with as much attention as you would give to a plate
at a formal meal for ten.

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to
450 F.

2. Pat the venison dry with a paper towel.

3. With the tip of a sharp knife, make inch-deep slits in the meat and
insert the garlic slivers.

Pat the chopped thyme and the salt and pepper well onto the venison.

4. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brown
the meat well, turning it once, 5 to 6 minutes.

Transfer the venison to a baking pan and place it in the oven.

5. Roast the venison until it is medium-rare (about 125 F on an


instant reading thermometer), 7 to 9 minutes.

Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 4 to 5


minutes before serving.
Page 1531

6. While the meat is resting, place the wine, cherries, and 2 of the
thyme sprigs in the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown
bits.

Whisk in the red currant jelly and then swirl in the butter.

7. Slice the tenderloin 1/2 inch thick, and arrange the slices
decoratively on two dinner plates.

Spoon the hot cherry sauce on top and garnish with the remaining fresh
thyme sprigs.

Serve immediately.

Note: If you are substituting pork tenderloin for the venison, preheat
the oven to 400 F in step 1. Continue with the recipe, searing the
meat for 10 minutes in step 4 and roasting it until pale pink, 10
minutes, in step 5. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.
All else remains the same.

VENISON, ELK OR ANTELOPE WITH VEGETABLES

2 lb venison, elk -- antelope or


1 round st
1/4 cup oil
1/2 to 1 c. soy sauce
1 lots of garlic -- fresh or
1 garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
5 green
1 onions

At home, cut steaks into very thin slices against the meat's grain.
I cut the meat with an angle. Place in plastic container with oil,
soy sauce, garlic, ginger and onions. Chop broccoli (my favorite),
cauliflower, celery, zucchini, whatever vegetables you like, and
place in another bag. At supper time, mix 1 1/2 tablespoons
cornstarch and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda into meat mixture.
Quickly fry vegetables, remove and quickly fry meat, adding small
amounts of water to prevent sticking. Mix back in vegetables until
warm. Serve with fry bread, or if at home serve with rice or noodles.

VENISON/ELK METTWURST SMOKED SUMMER SAUSAGE

2 1/2 lb deer or elk, trimmed


1 1/2 lb pork shoulder or butt,
1 untrimmed
1 tablespoon canning salt
1 1/2 tablespoon ground pepper
4 teaspoon morton's tender-quick
1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon msg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to
1 taste
5 oz cold water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Mix the spices with the water, then mix this with the ground meats
thoroughly. Grind again with a hamburger plate (1/8 inch holes) for a
finer textured sausage. Makes 3 sausages.

To smoke sausage without casing:

Refrigerate the mixture 2 to 4 hours for better shaping. Shape 4


pounds of mixed sausage into three loaves 1 1/2" to 2" in diameter by
10" to 12" long. Place each loaf on an 18" long piece of plastic
wrap, then roll up tightly. Knead this sausage loaf carefully to
eliminate air pockets in the sausage. Prick any air pockets with
knife or ice pick, and twist the ends loosely to make a temporary
casing.

Place the wrapped sausage loaves running across the wires on your
smokers grid. This will produce a better appearance on the finished
product. Leave 1/4" space between sausages for heat penetration. Wet
smoke-cook in a water smoker, or cook in a custom smoker or kettle
grill, or oven, for 45 to 50 minutes at 250 degrees. Do not exceed
275 degrees, or the plastic wrap may melt. You need to cook just long
enough to "set-up" the meat, 120-130 degrees internal.

Remove the sausage from the smoker, and cool for 10 to 30 minutes in
the plastic. You want the meat to reabsorb the liquids, for a moist
sausage. Then, remove the plastic wrap. Remove any liquid and
sediment from the surface with a paper towel. Dry smoke for 40 to 60
minutes, to an internal temperature of 150 to 155 degrees. Check the
temp with a meat thermometer from the end of the sausage. Remove
immediately when done, cool and refrigerate.

Age for 12 hours up to 5 days in the refrigerator for mellowing out


before serving. Cover with foil or plastic to prevent drying out.
This can be kept up to 6 months in the freezer without great loss of
flavor by wrapping in foil and placing it in a plastic bag.

Notes: I tasted the beef version of this recipe, which is made with 1
1/2 lb beef chuck & 2 1/2 lb pork, and does not have the extra garlic
Page 1535

& black pepper at the end of the recipe. Twelve people made 1 sausage
disappear in less than 10 minutes. Making this without the casing
made for an irregular shape, but nobody cared!

WHALEMEAT: WHO WANTS WHAT ON THEIR PLATE?

1 info file

Norwegians would rather eat whale meat than kangaroo meat. In


Australia, it's the other way round. This is one of the less
surprising conclusions of a survey on people's attitudes to eating
the meat of various animals, carried out in six different countries.

The survey shows that in modern industrial societies there are, in


general, many taboos connected to the consumption of wild animals,
whether it be deer, seal or wild birds. In countries where it is not
traditional to eat marine mammals, whale and seal meat comes out
worst.

Whichever way you look at it, it would seem that not many people would
like to stick their forks into certain domestic animals with special
status, like horses. In Australia people prefer kangaroos to horses.
Chicken, on the other hand, is eaten with a good appetite, but here,
too, we find national variations. In the USA, only 5,8% don't eat
chicken, in Germany the figure is 16,4%.

The figures below show the percentages of people who could not think
of eating the meat of the various animals shown:

WHISKEY DRINKER'S VENISON STEW

1 british measurements
----MARINADE----
2 fl oz single malt scotch whiskey
2 fl oz sherry
2 fl oz port
8 fl oz blackberry wine
1 onion; chopped
3 centiliter garlic; crushed
8 rashers (slices) bacon

the venison from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and
pat the cubes dry with kitchen paper. Put the venison into a plastic
bag with the seasoned flour and shake well until all pieces are well
coated. Melt the butter in a large fireproof casserole dish. Add the
venison and the remaining ingredients, except the mushrooms, lemon
rind and whiskey. Gradually add the reserved marinade. Bring the

that the venison is moist - add more wine, as necessary. After two
hours, remove the casserole from the oven, add the mushrooms, lemon
rind and a glass (8 fl oz) whiskey, before returning to the oven for
a further 30 minutes. Before serving, check the seasoning and add a
further glass of whiskey, if desired. ;*} "Scotch Whiskey Recipes"

WHITE SAGE BREAD

2 1/2 cup all purpose flour


2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh white sage lea; ves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pkg active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 egg
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 crushed, roasted pinons or coarse s; alt (optional)

In a bowl, combine the flour, sage, salt and baking soda.

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water.

In a food processor, blend the egg and cottage cheese until smooth;
add 1 tablespoon of the butter and all the yeast water, mix again,
and transfer to a large bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture,
kneading vigorously after each addition, until a stiff dough is
formed. Cover with a dry cloth and let rest in a warm place until
doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and knead it on a lightly floured surface about 4
minutes. Divide the dough in half and shape each part into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet, cover with a dry cloth and
let rise 15 minutes more.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake the bread about 40 minutes, until well risen, golden, and hollow
sounding when tapped. Brush the top with the remaining butter and
sprinkle with crushed roasted pinons or coarse salt if desired.
********

White sage, which grows in abundance throughout most regions of the


Southwest, is an aromatic herb used in a variety of dishes. Ordinary
fresh sage can also be used.

This bread freezes well, so I suggest making several loaves at a time.

WILD BOAR STEAKS IN A SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

2 oz pitted prunes
2 oz sultanas (golden raisins)
4 tablespoon olive oil
4 oz streaky (fatty) bacon
1 1/2 lb wild boar rib steaks
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 pint wine vinegar
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoon sugar
1 freshly grated nutmeg
1 fine sea salt

Wild boar steaks in a sweet and sour sauce (Bistecche di cinghiale)

Many regions of Italy feature wild boar on restaurant menus, but this
is a speciality of Sardinia. The sweet and sour sauce also combines
very well with venison.

Chop the prunes and put them to plump up with the sultanas (golden
raisins) in a little warm water. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan
and add the diced bacon. Fry until browned, then add the boar steaks
to the pan and brown briskly on both sides. Turn down the heat and
cook gently for about 15 minutes.

Mix the flour with half the vinegar in a small saucepan, then add the
remaining vinegar, the bay leaves and sugar. Simmer gently, stirring
to make a smooth sauce. Add the drained sultanas (golden raisins) and
prunes, and nutmeg to taste. Cook gently for about 10 minutes .

Season the boar steaks with salt, then pour over the sauce. Cook for a
further 10 minutes or until the steaks are tender.

WILD DUCK BALLOTINE

1 infp file

My favorite way to cook wild duck is in a ballotine. Completely


debone two small wild ducks and one large domestic duck, leaving the
wings and lower leg bones on the domestic duck only. Reserve the
wings and the bones of all carcasses for stock; simmer these
trimmings for about 4 hours in a large kettle or stockpot with a few
carrots, celery sticks, a bunch of parsley and some bay leaf.

Remove as much fat as possible from the duck carcasses. Lightly


slash a diamond pattern into the fatty skin of the domestic duck,
being careful not to cut through to the meat. This will allow better
drainage.

Chop up one bulb of fennel into a fine mince. Add a handful of


blueberries, or if you use blackberries or raspberries, rub them
through a sieve to remove the seeds. Other fruit options include
finely minced Meyer lemons (peel and all) or bitter Seville oranges.
Optionally, you can also add some ground meat. I typically use
ostrich or emu because it's handy in my freezer, it's OK to serve
when still rare, and it's deliciously complementary for duck. You
can use venison, buffalo or even pre-cooked pork sausage. Lightly
saute the stuffing so that it is about halfway cooked, and still warm.

Layer the deboned wild ducks inside the domestic duck. If you opened
them up, they should all be basically sheets of meat. Keep it as
evenly distributed as possible, and fill with the fennel-berry-meat
stuffing. Do not overfill. Sew or tie the results into a cylinder, a
"ballotine". You can use well greased twine to wrap a fairly
attractive package, or borrow some meat netting from your butcher.

Roast at 400 for ten minutes or until nicely browned, then turn the
heat down to 325 and cook until the internal temperature of the inner
layers of the duck (not the stuffing) reaches 130. Let stand for ten
minutes before carving.

I like to serve this one cold accompanied by a blackberry-anise sauce.


Simmer two cups of good, fruity red wine down to about half its
volume. Add 1/2 cup of blackberries rubbed through a sieve, 1/2 cup
of ground or pureed fennel and a piece of star anise, and simmer
until the fennel is soft. Add just enough of the same wine to get
some of its fruity aromas back, and then simmer just until the
alcoholic taste disappears. Finish by beating melted butter into the
sauce, or cream, or a little cornstarch paste to thicken if you'd
rather keep it low calorie.

The very simple and silly cheat for cooking wild duck is to wrap the
cleaned carcasses in a domestic duck skin, and sear at high
temperatures so that the fat gets crispy and bastes the carcass.
Wild duck is exceptionally lean, and may be very gamey depending on
its diet. It is often improved by barding with bacon, fatty duck
skin or some other source of fat.
Page 1556

If you prefer to keep the lean and gamey taste intact, try an
intensely woodsy marinade or dry rub of about half rosemary and half
juniper, and pair it with roasted cippolini onions and wild rice.
Cooking time should be either short and hot or long and moist and
slow, as duck tends to be good either rare or falling off the bone
well done.

WILD PIG OVEN ROAST

1 pork shoulder or butt roast


16 oz can crushed pineapple in
1 syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 dash white pepper

I have had both wild and domestic pig cooked with this recipe both are
excellent. This is a great recipe for large family gatherings.

Trim off any exposed fat. Rub salt, pepper, and oregano into the meat.
Place the meat into a large roasting bag. Pour the can of pineapple
over the meat, juice and all. Remove all air from bag and seal.

Wrap the meat several times with aluminum foil it is important that
it is sealed completely.

Place the meat in a oven roasting pan, cover and cook at 200 degrees
for 8-10 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes and serve.

My favorite side dishes for this recipe are pickled beets, yams, and
coleslaw with raisins.

WILD RABBIT PRESENTATION

1 text file

When I want to do a really spectacular presentation, I always french


a rack of rabbit. It honestly is not that hard if you scrape with a
knife and are careful to remove all the membrane between the ribs.

I recommend brushing the exposed bones with olive oil (heck, brush the
whole thing, and while you're at it, crush a clove of garlic and some
rosemary and add that to the oil. Yum.) If you don't, and you roast
at high temperatures, the ends of the bones can crisp and become
brittle or burned.

My presentation for rabbit goes like this, starting with the whole
animal. I debone all four legs (hindlegs and thighs in one piece,
forelimbs and shoulders in one piece, remove all bone). I pound the
pieces of meat flat under plastic wrap with a mallet, stuff them with
a mixture of fresh herbs, bread crumbs and prosciutto, or perhaps
blue cheese and walnuts and basil, and tie them into rolls.

Then I trim the saddle, which is the part in front of the pelvis
which you just removed the thighs from, into one neat long section
that ends at the bottom of the ribcage. Put the saddle aside for
roasting whole, or you can take it into small saddle chops.

I use scissors to remove the bottom half of the ribcage (the belly
portion), and then cut the neck portion that sticks out above the
ribcage.

Using either a cleaver and mallet or a professional meat saw, I cut


the backbone in half the rib rack and slice the saddle into tiny
saddle chops, roughly one vertebrae each or 1/3 inch. Then I french
the rack of ribs scraping with a knife.

I recommend tying the saddle chops back together for roasting with
oiled cotton thread; this gives better temperature control.
Attempting to take a cleaver or meat saw through a whole cooked
saddle is a bit more problematical than tying back together a cut raw
saddle, as I discovered early on in my gourmet rabbit-munching career.

At this point, you're ready for roasting. Brush the whole kit and
caboodle with lovely flavored oil, then roll in a mixture of powdered
chanterelle mushrooms and crushed hazelnuts (porcini and pistachio
works great on venison, BTW). Make sure exposed bone ends are
covered with oil. I suggest roasting at moderately high temperatures
for a fairly short time, say 400 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes. You
want the meat thoroughly done (white), but not dry.

Take the remainder of the scraps - bones, flank, liver, heart, etc -
and boil them down for stock. Drain and shred the boiled meat, and
for a serious treat, add some pine nuts and white truffles or white
truffle oil to this rabbit pate. Use the stock for cooking down
risotto, and serve with tiny baby artichoke heads or if you live in a
Page 1569

compatible area, harvest, boil and serve the young heads of wild
thistle.

This proceedure really doesn't take terribly long (maybe an hour to


prep the bunny for cooking), and the end result is spectacular.
Warning: do not use old, tough rabbits, which are best dredged in
seasoned flour and simmered in sour cream and lemon juice under a
blanket of good home-cured sugar bacon until tender. Pick young,
tender Thumpers for roasting.

I once made a companion's eyeballs nearly drop out of their sockets


with this presentation. What was even more startling is that I had
begun with roadkill and weeds and ended up with a gourmet meal
equivalent to what he'd been served in the finest French restaurants.
We live in an area that is highly populated by very tasty wild
rabbits, and one young (tender) and foolish bunny sacrificed itself
to a car directly ahead of us, losing its skull but nothing else to
an oncoming tire.

My religion doesn't allow for wasting fresh killed meat, so I bounced


from the car and grabbed Mr. Bunny while my companion looked on in
dismay. I whistled cheerily and commented, "Mmmm, just in time for
dinner," as I sacked it up along with some edible wild thistles.
Yep, the Wiccan religion has really only one dietary law, and that's
it. Don't waste good food, especially if something died to make that
food happen.

My companion eyed me dubiously as I dumped my bounty on the kitchen


table and started to work, wearing latex gloves not out of particular
squeamishness but out of reasonable precautions against tularemia, a
good idea in California. A few hours later, I had one nice rabbit
hide and a dinner to make any gourmet sigh in ecstasy - beautifully
presented salmis of rabbit with frenched rack and saddle served over
risotto with white truffle rabbit pate and boiled new thistle buds
with sweet butter. As I recall, the side salad involved fresh
raspberries, spinach and blood oranges with a splash of aged
balsamico.

Mmm. Quite an outcome from roadkill and weeds. Try it sometime -


and you can even start with a store-bought Thumper instead if you
like. ;)

WILD RABBIT STEW:

recipe

Skin and gut the rabbit taking great care not to rupture the
intestines. This would give a very bad taste to the meat. Wash the
rabbit thoroughly, then cut into serving pieces. Save the kidneys
and heart as extra treats! Roll and coat the rabbit thoroughly with
seasoned flour made with 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. of
pepper. Brown the pieces in bacon fat or if you prefer, half butter
and oil. After all the pieces have been browned on all sides,
remove and set aside. Sauté one onion in the pan until lightly
browned. Sprinkle with one tablespoon of flour and mix well,
scraping up all the browned bits. Return the rabbit to the pan and
add slowly water to cover the meat. Stir to mix evenly. Cover
tightly and simmer on low heat for one hour or more. Meanwhile, peel
two or three potatoes and cut into one-inch cubes. Scrub four or
more carrots and cut into slices. Add to the stew and continue to
simmer until the vegetables are tender. Taste the broth and season
to taste. Thicken the stew if desired. Serve with freshly baked
raisin bannock. Don't hesitate to dip chunks of bannock into the
gravy!

WILD RICE MUSHROOM QUICHE WITH WHITE PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

By: Captain's Quarters B&B Inn Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia

1 box washed wild rice


1 pound bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (r; eserve 3 tbsp drippings)
1 large onion, chopped
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 cup pepperidge farm stuffing mix
1/2 nut nutmeg (ground) or 1 tsp pre-ground
1 pound swiss cheese, grated
1 pound jack cheese, grated
white pepper cream sauce

I don't know who the person is who interjected the comments, but
there is a source for the recipe at the end. Min

Wild Rice and Mushroom Quiche with White Pepper Cream Sauce

Even though it has no crust, it is made very much like traditional


quiches. If you want to call it a casserole, you might get more men
to eat it. On the other hand, after you've tried it, you may not
want to share it anyway! You'll want to start this well ahead (like
the day before) because it must be assembled cool.
Prepare wild rice ahead of time according to directions on package,
but remove from heat about 10 minutes before cooking time is up
(usually around 45 minutes). Drain excess water and set aside to
cool. Cook bacon crisp and also set aside to cool.

Place 3 Tablespoons bacon drippings in large skillet or chicken pan


(high sides help) and add chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, and
garlic. Saute until mushrooms have given up their water and most of
it has evaporated or been re-absorbed. Mushrooms should retain their
shape and some light color. Combine wild rice, crumbled bacon,
stuffing mix, and mushroom mixture in probably the largest bowl
you've got. Tossing occasionally, allow to cool to room temperature.

Grind nutmeg (or use pre-ground) and sprinkle over cooled wild rice
and mushroom mixture. Stir to distribute throughout mixture. Add
cheese and mix thoroughly. (Note: may be prepared ahead and
refrigerated at this point. As a matter of fact, I always do so to
this day so I won't have to get up in the middle of the night to
start this one.)

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place the desired
number of 4-ounce custard cups or ramekins on a cookie sheet and
coat heavily with non-stick spray. Fill each cup almost to the top
with wild rice and mushroom mixture. For each cup, place 1 egg and 1
ounce of heavy cream in a mixing bowl; whisk to combine. Fill cups
to cover wild rice and mushroom mixture.

Place on middle rack and cook 1 hour. Depending on how evenly your
oven cooks, you may want to rotate the cookie sheet about 3/4 of the
way through. The quiches are done when they are puffy and not wet at
Page 1575

the center. When done, let stand about 15 minutes in the cups, then
turn out on plates. Set right side up and cover half with White
Pepper Cream Sauce. Garnish with diced tomatoes and parsley.

WINDOWS ON THE WORLD WILD TURKEY (LAT)

----TURKEY----
1 (12- to 14-pound) turkey
1 salt, freshly ground black pepper
2 to-3 bay leaves
1 head garlic, not peeled, split in; half
1 onion, diced
1 cup hot water plus more as needed
3 tablespoon melted salted butter
----CORN BREADBACON STUFFING----
3 cup homemade or store-bought crumbled; corn bread
1 cup cubed sourdough bread
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup chicken stock
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 lb smoked slab bacon, cut into 1/2-in; ch cubes
1 cup chopped green onions
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and; finely chopped
3 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 salt, freshly ground black pepper

From: Windows on the World restaurant, 107 stories up in the sky, on


top of the World Trade Center. Michael Lomonaco, the chef-director of
Windows on the World, sent the recipes for both the turkey and
stuffing.

Chef Lomonaco recommends cooking the stuffing separately to ensure


that the turkey is "fully cooked without overcooking, and the
stuffing is cooked in a safe manner." The recipe calls for the
farm-raised wild turkey

If you have an oven large enough to accommodate the simultaneous


cooking of a turkey and a casserole dish of stuffing, add the
stuffing to the oven about one hour after the turkey goes into the
oven and both should be ready to remove about the same time. If your
oven will accommodate only a turkey and nothing else, cook the
stuffing before you roast the bird, then reheat the stuffing 15 to 20
minutes in a 350-degree oven while the meat rests and the gravy is
made.

Roasted Wild Turkey With Corn Bread-Bacon Stuffing

TURKEY: Season turkey inside and out with salt and pepper to taste.
Place bay leaves, garlic and onion inside cavity. Set turkey, breast
side down, on rack in roasting pan. Pour water into pan and roast at
425 degrees 30 minutes.

Turn turkey breast side up, brush with melted butter, reduce heat to
350 degrees and roast until juices run clear when thigh joint is
pierced with a fork and when meat thermometer inserted in the
thickest part of thigh registers 165 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours,
Page 1580

adding more water to pan as needed.

Remove turkey from oven and allow to stand 20 minutes before carving.
Serve with Corn Bread-Bacon Stuffing.

CORN BREAD-BACON STUFFING: Combine corn bread, sourdough bread,


buttermilk, molasses, chicken stock and beaten eggs in bowl and soak
3 to 8 hours in refrigerator.

Place cubed bacon in heated skillet and cook until bacon is browned.
Pour off and reserve rendered fat.

Add green onions and jalapeno peppers to bacon and cook 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool.

Add soaked bread along with chile powder and chopped pecans to green
onion-jalapeno mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon
into casserole and drizzle top with several tablespoons of reserved
bacon drippings.

WYOMING POLISH SAUSAGE, SALAMI AND SMOKED VENISON

17 lb lean, fat-free venison


17 lb lean, fresh pork.
4 oz water
1 1/2 oz black pepper
1 oz ginger
1 1/2 oz nutmeg
1/2 oz allspice
1/2 oz paprika
2 teaspoon garlic powdeer or
4 teaspoon onion powder
12 oz salt
1/2 lb dried milk

Take 17 pounds of lean, fat-free venison and 17 pounds of lean, fresh


pork. Your mixture has to be this half-and-half mixture to be reallly
good. (It will be dry without the pork.) Grind up the meaats and mix
them together thoroughlly. Mix in 4 oz. of water.

Now mix in 1 1/2 oz. of black pepper, one oz. of ginger, 1 1/2 oz. of
nutmeg, 1/2 oz. of allspice, 1/2 oz. paprika, 2 level ts. of garlic
powdeer, (if you do not like garlic, substitute 4 level ts. of onion
powder), 12 oz. of salt and 1/2 pound of dried milk.

If you do not want to go to the trouble of making the meat into


sausages, simply wrap it in opound packages in aluminum foil and
freeze it for safe keeping. To use it ssimply make upp into patties
and fry like hamburger or hamburger steak. It is delicious.

To make up into ssausages you can do it in ttwo different ways,


depending on where you have smoking equipment or ot. Either method
is equally good.

1. If you do not have smoking equipment proceed as follows.

Mix in 3 level ts. of liquid smoke (Check the instructions on the


liquid smoke bottle as the amount necessary to use varies from brand
to brand. Herter's French-Canadian Liquid Smoke is best.)

Stuff the meat in casings if you have them. Keep the links about 6-8
inches long. If you have no casings, simply make the meat iinto
patties. This workds just as well.

Smoking is just a baking process. Put what you will use for 2 weeks
in your refrigerator. Wrap the balance iin aluminum foil and freeze.

2. If you have smoking equiipment proceed as follows.

Stuff the meaat in casing if you have them. Keep the links about 6-8
inches long. Keep the links connected until they are dry. If you do
not have casings, make up the meat into patties and place them on
metal trays or wiire screen that will go in your smokehousse or
smoker. Smoke over a low maple, apple, messquiite or hickory wood
Page 1584

fire from 4-6 hours. Keep the fire low at about 120 degrees. This is
not hot enough to cause much dripping or shrinking.

Remove and put a two week's supply in your refrigerator. Wrap the
balance in aluminum foil and freeze at once.

To cook, put the patties or sausages in a frying pan and add enough
water to cover up 1/3 of the way on them. Put a cover on the
fryingpan and boil for 15 minutes. Remove, pourout the water from
the frying pan and then put the patties or sausages back into the
frying pan and brown them slightly on all sides. Makes wonderful
eating.

YUCATAN PORK IN TOMATILLO SAUCE

By: Mignonne

3 lb pork, cut into 1' cubes


6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 c water
12 fresh tomatillos, husks
removed
3 fresh green serrano chiles,
whole
additional water for
simmering tomatillos and
chiles
1 bn fresh cilantro, coarsely
chopped
1/4 md white onion, coarsely
chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
2 sm zucchinis (mexican
calabazitas, preferred.)
opt
serve with:
corn tortillas
crumbled white mexican
cheese (queso fresco or
similar)
white rice (optional)

Place the pork, half of the chopped garlic and 2 cups water in a large
saucepan (or in a pot.) Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until
about 1/2 cup of water remains.

Meanwhile, in a small pot or pan with a lid, place the tomatillos and
whole serranos. Add water to cover (actually, they will float, but you
want enough water so they aren't resting on the bottom.) Bring to a
simmer, reduce heat, cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove the tomatillos and serranos from the water (be careful, as they
will be hot,) remove stems from serranos (if present,) and place in a
blender. Also add the cilantro, the remaining garlic, and the white
onion to the blender. Blend until smooth.

If using calabazitas/zucchinis, trim the ends, halve them lengthwise,


and cut into 1' long pieces. Place the pieces on top of the pork (when
only 1/2 cup of water remains with the pork.)

Pour the tomatillo mixture over the pork. Stir, bring back to a
simmer, and reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally,
about 30 minutes more, or until the sauce reaches the desired
consistency/concentration. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

This makes delicious soft tacos. Serve hot with warm corn tortillas,
crumbled white Mexican cheese (queso fresco or similar,) and white
rice (optional.)
Page 1587

Note: I recommend heating the tortillas separately on a hot


griddle/comal, and keep them wrapped in a small towel in a tortilla
warmer. This gives a much better result than microwaving them.

cold.

Variation: Near the end of the cooking, add chopped, roasted, peeled green
chilis.
I also like to use other kinds of squash especially acorn and other fall

[CH] ELK SAUSAGE CHILE CHILI

1 1/2 lb smoked elk sausage


1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 produce:
1 large yellow onion
4 stalks of celery, with some
1 dark leaves if possible,
1 chopped
1 level teaspoon minced garlic
1 (or more)
5 large fresh tomatoes, chopped
6 large red jal. pods, seeds cut out
1 and veined, chopped
6 ripe hot cherry pods, seeds
1 cut out and veined, chopped
3 ripe aji amarillo pods,
1 seeds cut out and veined,
1 chopped
4 chipotle pods, chopped or
1 ground
6 tepins crushed or ground,
1 seeds & all
1 cans, bottles & spices
1 small can chopped or sliced black
1 olives
3 regular cans low-salt cream
1 tomato soup
1 heaping tsp spicy mustard
1 can dark red kidney beans (if
1 you like chili with beans)
4 oz bottle colgin's smoke sauce
4 tablespoon lowrey's season salt
2 teaspoon old hickory smoke salt
1 (spice islands)
1 tablespoon a-1
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 garlic powder to taste
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 chile powder

Start in a pot with at least 1.5 gallon capacity. I generally cook the
meat completely, add some extra water to cover meat and bring to a
good boil. Set in a cold place to let the grease congeal at the top.
(I use this time to get all the veggies ready, get out the spices,
etc.) When the grease is thickened, scrape it off the top.

Pre-heat oven and cookie sheet to 300 degrees. Spread the garlic,
onions, and raw peppers out on a lightly buttered sheet. Leave in oven
10 minutes, then broil until the thinnest edges of veggies just start
to turn brown. Stir and broil as long as you can without much more
browning. Dump veggies into the pot with the meat, start cooking and
Page 1592

add tomatoes, dried chiles and celery.

As veggies and meat are cooking with a slow boil, begin adding
non-salted spices. Stir occasionally. Add water as needed to
maintain a stew consistency. Gradually add all ingredients except
soup and beans, adding salted items a little at a time to keep the
mix from getting too much salt for your taste. Add pepper powder or
veins to increase heat as desired. (However the heat seems when you
are finished, it will be slightly hotter the next day. I have to
consider this when cooking, as my wife and kids are not CHs.) When
the raw tomatoes are nearly cooked, add the soup, and bring back to a
boil, stirring often. Add the beans, juice and all. Simmer 20
minutes, stirring regularly. If possible, let cool overnight and
re-heat before serving. Re-skim grease if necessary before heating.
Serve with grated cheddar cheese added to serving.

Makes about 1.2 gallons (if beans are added).

Total Caories... I have no idea.


Total Salt...... Don't ask.
Total Fat....... Not much if you skim the grease, and even less if you
use low fat cheese.
