With opening of Dove season here in Texas, the annual tradition with family and friends has begun.
Had some good shoots at the home place in Brownwood TX this weekend. Limits of local dove to be had and 1 on our group took a local banded white wing.
So how do I like my dove…well here’s what’s been on the menu for a few years.
I clean the dove breasts and cut all meat off the bone. Find a fatty spare steak laying around (we do ranch). I try for a 90/10 mix. chop meat course and season with powdered garlic, salt, onion, chili powder, cumin. One run through the meat grinder and done.
For most pan and stuffed meat recipes it’s good to go. Chille rellenos, tacos, picadillo…
If going for burgers or sausage, I’ll leave out the Mexican seasoning and add more beef or pork for an 80/20 mix to stuff or grill.
Happy hunting and would love to hear your tried and true methods for eating the beloved dove!
