Charcuterie
This is one of the easiest charcuterie projects you can undertake, and it has been one of my more popular recipes. But I've learned a lot about making duck prosciutto since I first started doing it in 2007, and there is definitely a difference between good duck ham and great duck ham.
Recipe
Quail are one of the best game birds for the grill, and respond well to either high heat grilling or slow-and-low barbecue. Here I barbecue them slowly, basted with a South Carolina-style mustard sauce.
Venison
Grilled venison heart. Yep, you heard me right. And don't look away. It's as awesome as it looks. High heat, great meat and a good marinade are the keys.
Charcuterie
Bresaola, an Italian air-cured eye round or loin, is normally done with beef. But it works with any large animal, in this case a bison.
Mexican
One of my favorite Mexican restaurant dishes, I decided to try my hand at making an authentic chile colorado with wild boar. It's like mole, only spicier and easier to make.
Italian
Wild turkey parmesan? Oh hell, yeah! Not the fanciest dish I've ever made, but it sure is good. It's a great way to introduce someone to wild turkey.
Recipe
I had my first Cajun sauce piquante a year ago, in a grubby cafe near Houma. It was made with alligator, and it was awesome. This version is made with venison, and it's just as awesome.
Italian
I make all sorts of Italian pasta sauces, but an authentic Bolognese sauce is something else entirely. It make look like any other meat sauce, but it isn't.
Charcuterie
I first learned about ventreche, a French bacon, from my friend Kate Hill. It is a very simple thing: just pork belly, salt, pepper and smoke. But that is the source of its beauty.
Recipe
Thank Holly for the name of this dish: Cheek by Jowl. Braised wild boar cheek served with fresh spring veggies, a saffron cream sauce, and crispy pork jowl.
Mushrooms
It's morel season at last, and in celebration, I've revamped one of my favorite recipes for venison and morels. No fresh morels in your area yet? Use dried. They work fine in this recipe.
Wild Game
For the first time in years, I've shot a wild hog. That I am able to say that is a sign that karma comes back to you, if you have faith and persistence.
