Mourning Dove Sautee Recipe

Posted By: Joey Buddenberg

Ingredients

  • 3 dove breasts per person  
  • 1-2 stalks fresh celery (it's enough for 2 meals)  
  • 1-2 carrots (it's enough for 2 meals)  
  • olive oil (butter if you prefer)  
  • rice (white or brown)  
  • bottle of a nice red wine (merlot/rioja/chianti)

Directions  

Start the rice ahead of time, because this dish doesn't take much time to prepare. Pour enough olive oil (or butter) into a frying pan to cover its bottom.

While it's heating, slice each dove breast into three or four slices.

Next, slice the carrot(s) and celery at an angle so that it is more presentable than just chopped. When the oil is hot enough, add the dove meat. Whisk the slices around the pan just once before adding a splash of wine to the pan. Then add the vegetables, letting them cook just long enough to heat-up all the way through.

Prepare a nice bed of rice on each plate, and add the dove meat to the center of the rice, the vegetables on its border. Alternating celery and carrot adds to the presentation of the dish. Juice from the pan can be spooned over the whole thing if the rice is too dry. The rest of the bottle of wine makes a perfect compliments to this meal.

Bacon Wrapped Dove Recipe

Posted By: Jason Ayers   

Ingredients

  • 15 Dove Breasts  
  • 1 lb Thick Bacon  
  • 1 Bottle of Bullseye Barbecue Sauce  
  • 30 toothpicks

Directions  

Field dress Dove and clean breast with cool water. Cut one slice of bacon in half. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around dove length ways and then the other 1/2 of bacon around the whole breast. Place two (2) toothpicks in breast, one on each side, to secure bacon to breast. Place dove in large bowl and smother with barbecue sauce.

Wait at least 20 minutes for it to marinade and then grill for 10 minutes but not on the hottest rack of grill. (Bacon and grease will catch fire.) You can also smoke the breast in a smoker for about 2 1/2 hrs. Either way, dove is excellent and will melt in your mouth. I think the bacon is the best. Always best with a cold beer.
