Re: Wild Game Cooking
She Who Rules suggested I am something of a messy cook at time:
I didn't think that was messy at all!
Made a double clutch of my favorite chili recipe (canning the balance today).
This is an interesting recipe in that the Maple flavors allow you to heat it right up, but no burn on the tongue. Discovered that a few years back and do it every time now. In the recipe below you can adjust the heat range to your liking...
Chili
Ingredients
2lbs ground or diced venison (I generally use ~ 1 lb of each)
1 large sweet onion diced
2 Medium sized red bell peppers diced
1 lb mushrooms sliced
5 large garlic cloves thin shaved
1.5 cups homemade sun dried tomatoes (can use store bought – reduce to 1 cup)
1 can 14 ounce Stag Dynamite hot chili
1 28 ounce can herb & spices diced tomatoes
1 20 ounce can red kidney beans
1 20 ounce can black beans
2 cans maple cured brown beans
1 small can herb & spice tomato paste
3 tablespoons chili powder
1.5 – 2 teaspoons dehydrated red pepper
2 teaspoons spicy mesquite seasoning
A good squirt of Beer & Chipotle Barbecue sauce
Optional: 1 – 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Method
Brown meat in a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
Toss in onions and mushrooms and heat until onion is close to transparent
Toss in the cans of chili, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans (keep the juices from each and pour into mix) & tomato paste
Toss in shaved garlic & sun dried tomatoes
Add all spices & mix well.
Cook for ~ 30 minutes.
Add maple cured brown beans
Simmer for around an hour
ENJOY!

Re: Wild Game Cooking
So, this morning I get a call...
Whatcha doing today?
Vet run for the older Gal.
Anything pressing?
Nope, check up and nail trim.
Well I just got back into town with a moose that has been hanging 18 days. I need you now if you can accommodate.
Give me 5... Vet confirms tomorrow is no issue.
On my way.
Get there to see the world's smallest Tri-Palm!
CO confirmed it met that requirement, and also did so with the 2 points on the other side!
Has to be the Unicorn of all Unicorns!
18 months old I believe, and butter soft. Took me all of three hours to butcher it (with help after I do the main cuts obviously).
Buddy said the fastest and best job of whacking one up he has ever seen.
Better be, only been at it for 45 years and change!!
Tonight we will feast on veal back-straps!!
Yummy!
Cheers,
Nog

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Just finished butchering a 1300 lb steer (grain fed since August).
Getting better at it, only took 5 hours & change, although the lads are still grinding & wrapping.
Tenderloin of course...
Cheers

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Back to Beef! REAL Beef that is!
Yep, that is a full sized platter that Porterhouse is sitting on:
Quick & Dirty BarBee sear:
Perfection:
Served up with Cheddar Chipotle Pasta, a Greek Salad (of sorts) and a magnificent Merlot:
Fit for a King I tell you!
Cheers,

Re: Wild Game Cooking
A herb & garlic blend and Montreal Steak Spice.
Then spray with lemon juice lightly so it absorbs better.
Excellent taste!
Cheers

Re: Wild Game Cooking
It is a tenderizer as well as flavor enhancer.
Mix the lemon juice with a little fresh garlic juice and you will be amazed at the flavor!

Re: Wild Game Cooking
But do you leave it macerating with the lemon to soften or directly on the grill?

Re: Wild Game Cooking
I leave it sit at room temperature for a few hours with the spice mix / lemon juice on it.
Makes a big difference!

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Another Gathering of the Port Alberni Diner's Club last night.
My turn to cook.
A good Buddy had recently sent me an interesting recipe - something new to do with salmon which for me these days is quite rare.
It involved creating a sauce of olive oil, butter, lemon pepper and chopped fresh garlic.
Let simmer a spell to let the flavors infuse the butter & oil.
Then toss in a handful of mushrooms and red peppers just long enough to soften them some.
Pull the veggies and keep warm (wrapped in foil in this case).
Prep the salmon by giving the meat side a quick egg wash, then top with Panko.
Prep the BarBee by heating it up.
Once at medium high, toss a Cookina sheet on the lower rack, and smear generously with the oil / butter sauce.
Place the fish (fat fall coho in this case) panko side down and brown (2 - 3 minutes).
Flip the fish, and pour a generous amount of heavy Maple Syrup over all of it.
Allow the syrup to bubble and caramelize.
Remove from the heat, toss the warm veggies on top, and pour the last of the butter / oil sauce over it all.
As is the case with all fish, do not overcook!!
This turned out to be a real hit at last night's dinner party:
Served up with mixed veggies & pine nuts in a very nice sauce, wild rice and mushrooms and fresh homemade bread:
And as none of us really are into white wine, a most excellent Merlot of accompany.
Another Fine Feast!
I will be using that recipe again!
Cheers,
Nog
