View Full Version : Dove Recipes
OK, Today is Opening Day of Dove Season Around Here. Went out this morning and got 10 of the little guys. Anyone have any Recipes for Dove that have worked well for them? I usually take a half of a Jalapeno pepper and put it on the meat side of the breast and then wrap the whole deal in a piece of bacon. Let it sit in some Soy Sauce for a little while and then throw it on the grill. Looking to try something different this year, any Ideas?
Greetings Sir. I hope these might be tasty? :)

Air,
Wrap with thick bacon. Then hit the grill.
We use Hickory BBQ sauce and dust 'em with crushed red peppers.
MAAS - That has traditionally been the way we do things around here, with the addition of a slice of Jalapeno and no BBQ sauce. This time I ended up Soaking the "Nuggets" of meat that had been removed from the breast bone in some Olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, fresh cracked pepper, and Serendipity seasoned salt over night. I then sauteed them and threw in some chopped red onion and some fresh mushrooms. Then added some Cream of Mushroom Soup and some rice. Dove Breast & Rice, It wasn't bad.
Man, that sounded great. I'm going try some this weekend.
