Dried shrimp are used in many cuisines, from Mexico to Southeast Asia to West Africa. Here’s how to make dried shrimp at home.
Mexican
Squid Ceviche
Squid ceviche is a great alternative to fish. And I am stoked to have my first calamari recipe on this site – because I caught it!
Duck Confit Tacos
Duck or goose confit, chopped and stuffed in a taco, served with special salsa verde. So good.
Elk Tenderloin with Ancho Sauce
Deceptively simple, the ancho sauce really makes this dish. Elk, deer or any red meat will work here.
Venison Tamales
Venison tamales, an old family recipe from a friend of mine. Hope you like them!
Tacos de Lengua
If you only know one deer tongue recipe, this should be it: Mexican tacos de lengua. Works with any decent-sized tongue.
Wild Turkey Carnitas
Quite possibly the best thing to make with wild turkey drumsticks and wings, which can be really tough and stringy. Braise them slowly until the meat falls off the bone, then pull the meat, crisp it and serve it in tacos or burritos.
Chocolomo: Fire in a Stew
Chocolomo. I just love saying the name. It’s a Mexican stew made with beef or venison, and it is amazing. The flavor is so deep and rich you just want to keep eating it. The secret? Char. There’s a whole lotta blackening going on here, and the result is a revelation.
