Re: Wild Game Cooking
Thank you kind Sir!! It was excellent!
Collected that lot pictured above from a Buddy. He is licensed for the Yelloweye Snapper as by-catch when he is targeting on the lings.
Fresh Yelloweye is THE Best white fleshed fish there is IMO:
It's consistency & flavour is much like that of crabs. Delicious!
So, processed that lot and saved a side of the largest Yelloweye for the BarBee. Complimented that with Asiago & Cracked Pepper Rice, and Air Fried Avocados:
Simply Divine!!

Re: Wild Game Cooking
A good buddy dropped off a huge bag of Manila & Butter Clams.
Soaked overnight in salt water to let them spit the grit.
Now wondering just what to toss in with some for din-din...

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Took a good handful of those wonderful clams, tossed them in a pot with a little white wine, butter and garlic. Steamed them lightly while prepping the compliments.
Spot Prawns on the BarBee:
Our first feed of the year from our own Spare Gooses:
Then added in some cheesy garlic toast to round things out:
All local, all fresh. Fantastic Munchies all round!

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Today I find myself reporting on an experiment that didn't go quite as well as planned...
Ran into some Fiddleheads at the grocers the other day. My Lady & I love these things, and are used to steaming them with white wine, a little butter and a hint of lemon garlic. However, having had resounding success air frying asparagus, we thought perhaps that would work with these as well. Try as I might, I could not find any recipes to do that in any of my cookbooks nor online...
So we set out to try it on for ourselves, Cleaned and trimmed the fiddleheads:
Then lightly spray oiled them and added a touch of salt & pepper. Set aside while I prepped the whitetail sirloin tenders for the grill:
While those were wrapping up to medium rare (accent on the rare thanks) the fiddleheads went into a pre-warmed air fryer at 360 degrees for 3 minutes. They needed a little more, so a good shake then back at the same heat for 2 minutes to finish.
Served up with Cheesy Spinach Dip Pasta and a good red:
The whitetail was brilliant, and the pasta very good too.
However the fiddleheads left something to be desired. In order to be thoroughly cooked they dried out more than I would have liked, leaving them with an almost "leathery" texture. The flavor was great, kind of nutty actually. But given their consistency I will not be repeating that experiment again.
Lesson learned. Guess there was a reason I could not find any recipes do do this. Hope others will benefit from this discovery...
Cheers,
Nog

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Managed to get it right this time around...
Cleaned & Trimmed:
Gently steamed for 4 or 5 minutes in white wine & lightly salted water.
Then quickly tossed through a hot frying pan of butter, a smidge of white wine & lemon garlic:
Same time that was working, right beside it was a pan of prawns in the same kind of butter base:
And the air fryer was working on breaded Calamari,while the stove looked after cheesy garlic toast:
The fiddleheads certainly looked a heck of a lot better:
Served up with Tzatziki sauce and a fine Merlot:
The fiddleheads were excellent in flavor with nice subtle crunch.
MUCH Better!!
Cheers,
Nog

Re: Wild Game Cooking
If one pound of AAA Alberta Prime is good, then two pounds must be better!!
Seasoned & on the BarBee:
While that was charring, I cut our second harvest of Spare Gooses and tossed them in the air fryer (a mist of oil, salt & pepper):
A quick cut - yep done just right:
Then served up with Cheddar Chipotle Pasta & a fine Shiraz:
Dinner is served...
Thank You Alberta!!

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Darn, everything you make looks absolutely delicious!
We have wild asparagus all over in our area and look forward to harvesting some every year.

Re: Wild Game Cooking
Yes, way better flavor.
I knew where there was a plant that produced spears as thick as your index finger and tender as heck, they built a kids baseball field over where it was at and it is no longer there, made me want to cry when I lost that one.

Re: Wild Game Cooking
As usual, looks great Matt. I love cooking too, but don't do much wild game except whitetail, and the expected dishes. I think to date my two best venison items are jerky, and stuffed green peppers.
