cooking doves ??

[CRAZYEYES]

Does anyone have any good ways to cook dove breasts. I have 30 doves to cook up from last weekend. The only way that I have had them was grilled which was pretty good but was curious if any one had any other ways to cook them. They are not quite like any ohter poulty I have ever had.

I know they are small but, try cuting them in half then follow a beef strogangoff recipe and serve over noodles.

Look up Squab. It is young pigion meat, but doves fit nicely into this catagory. Squab in the restaraunt is spendy, so a nice meal of doves makes for nice gormet diner possibilities.

Wrap them in bacon and finish off with bbq sauce. (Grilled). If you have already done that and want to try something new, I would consider smoking them.

Thanks for the advice, bacon rapped and grilled has been the way to go. As for the squab I'll have to look up some recipes. I also shot some pigeons this weekend but told my buddy to take them. There were a lot of those dirty birds flying over the wheat field we were hunting.

look up duck recipes from backwoods bound, They have have some taste ones there. For all kinds of wild meat.

Soak them in italian dressing the night before then take a knife and split down the middle and put pepper jack chesse in the slit. Then wrap them with a piece of pepper bacon and put on the smoker for about an hour. Whoa baby, my tongue is slapping my brain just thinking about it.

NEANGLER, that sounds awesome. How hot do you smoke it? Just curious as to the temp so as to not over-melt the cheese, but get the bacon/bird done.

i usually go 200-225, Pepper jack is a harder cheese so it does melt as bad as a american, mozz, etc plus by wrapping the bacon around it it helps it stay in as well.
