in the kitchen

[sgt_zim]

So.

I'm sure there must be a thread about recipes for wild game and what-not, but after 5 pages in general chat and not finding any, I figured I'd start a new one.

I simply love to cook, preferably wild game, but I'll cook whatever strikes me as interesting. A number of years ago, my wife gifted me with a Lebanese recipe book that I'd asked for. I had no idea what I'd find, it was just a different path than the Cajun and Italian I'd been accustomed to cooking. "Cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg for meat???"

So anyway, my Eastern Orthodox parish has a custom of parishioners cooking for families with brand new babies for about a month or 6 weeks so Mom and Dad (especially those who already have kids) can focus on family and not have to deal with cooking.

Friday evening and most of the day Saturday, I prepared Fatteh ma Lahm (layered London broil with garlic yogurt/tahini and pita), tabbouleh, spinach triangles, and Lebanese style baklava.

Word gets around. Now I'm pretty much locked in to cook the same thing for the other 4 young women who are 30 weeks+.

If I were on death row and were asked for my last meal, I'd choose fatteh ma lahm. If I lived in Beirut and had access to other people cooking food like this, I'd weigh 400 lbs.

A little chest-thumping, but mostly curious if there are other epi-curious folks here, and what it is that's off the beaten path you like to cook.

I love to cook, its my get away from work relaxing process, and so I tend to spend alot of time doing it.

We pretty much eat only wild game, with the occasional bit of pork or a farmed duck (use pork fat as well for mince/brats). Freezer is full of venison, elk, antelope, turkey, and geese, so I have adapted most of my recipes as such which can lead to some interesting differences. We grind our own mince, I butcher some of my own deer for unusual cuts (venison shanks are heaven), and we make our own sausages - recently did batches of Polish Kielbasa, Boerwors and Loukaniko. Lot of the time we tend to have backstraps smoked or on the griddle and fresh salad/vegetables.

I have the added degree of difficulty that my wife cannot have gluten (not by choice), so I've also worked toward mastering gluten free puff pastry at home. During the summer I tend to bounce through a few different things, but before it got hot I made a few of our special favorites:

Venison Wellington.

Venison English Style Meat Pie

Peking Duck

Tonight's dinner is antelope birria tacos, will share later on.

I would ask my girlfriend to share a great recipe with you all, but her favorite thing to make is reservations!! lol

Thread 'Stop in for Supper, friend'

My two finest rams that I ever produced wouldn’t sell at my price. So being a practical man, rather than give all my years of breeding away for $79/cwt, I slaughtered them, hung them for 10 days and processed the saddle of each for the table and froze the rest for the dogs.

387#’s of mutton. I think they look glorious.

We have a thread for cigars, another for whiskey. Figured I’d invite a crowd and start a thread for what is for dinner tonight.

I am a big fan of cooking.
I like to prepare food, and of course I also like to eat. Love fresh game steaks. Prepare them in a white sauce with pepper. Also i like goulash. Food like this prepare for the hunting party during the winter. Of course, all that goes well with good drinks, so we often stay long after midnight

 

[Miletic]

Lamb shanks are my specialty. I also really like fish soup with pasta. I make her so hot that the company has to cry while eating

 

[Miletic]

Scampi in red sauce is on the menu during the summer

In my early 20´s I worked for Air Liban/Lebanese Airlines, which resulted in a few trips to Beirut, where I had the chance to eat the tasties food I have ever tried.

And don´t get me started on the pastries !

Fortunately that was before the start of the Civil War in 1975.

I like to eat, I cook out of necessity.
I prefer the butchering and Smallgoods making.
I can make a good spaghetti bolognaise or cook a BBQ, a few other things if im
Interested but it’s not my passion. I’m a plain eater so easy meal s suit me

We do a lot of flyfishing for trout - and I'll share a little secret ... they don't all go back into the lake


We like to do 'em on the Bbq - don't seem to have a pic of one finished up, on this computer - we'll leave that too your imagination

No pics since I just found this thread.. but last night was red stag filets that we brought back from our New Zealand hunt last year cooked in the sous vide and finished on the grill with bacon mac and cheese and and some fresh veg from our garden out back. Simple meal that was absolutely delicious.

We eat game meat of some sort at least twice a week, often as much as 4 or 5 times a week and typically keep the freezers stocked with everything from lake fish to wild turkey to dove to deer to anything/everything else that we hunt over the prior year.. I also snack on game meat a lot... this year I made almost 25 lbs of deer summer sausage that Ive been munching on with crackers a couple of times a week.. and about 25 lbs of breakfast sausage that we eat in the mornings a couple of times a week... Ill do a few dozen dove poppers a couple of times a year.. we'll have them for dinner one night.. and then eat the rest as snacks for the next few days... wild boar and venison jerky is also a big hit.. theres usually several bags that get sent out to all the kids every year and I keep several bags around the house to snack on as well..
