FROM DAPHNE'S KITCHEN
All In The Game: How To Cook The Hunter's
Quarry
BY DAPHNE McWHITE
It's only 5 o'clock on a brisk win
ter morning, but the hunter is al
ready awake. He
dons layers of
warm clothing
and sets off with
his dogs to the
solitude of the
woods for a
morning of hunt
ing. The silence
is broken by the
call of birds,
squirrels scam
pering through the leaves and a fox
running for cover.
The hunting of wild game helps
to provide balance in our wood
lands, not to mention some hearty,
nutritional food for our tables. Game
is very popular, and rightly so. It is
lower in fat, cholesterol and calorics
when compared to other meat.
Despite its popularity, many cooks
are not well-versed in game cooking.
If you arc lucky enough to have a
hunter in your household, try some
of these delectable game recipes
contributed by local sportsmen
A special dish calls for a special
accompaniment. Wild ricc, am
brosia. rolls, pudding, potatoes, car
rots or a green salad wonderfully
compliment the unique flavor of
game

GRILLED DOVE
OR QUAIL BREAST
In a pan of water, simmer breasts
until tender. Remove meat from wa
ter and wrap each breast with a slice
of bacon; secure with a toothpick.
Slow cook over charcoal until bacon
is crisp. Barbecue saucc or mar
malade glaze may be used during the
last 5 minutes of cooking if desired.
Salt and pepper to taste. Very good!

VENISON ROAST
De-bone hindquarters, open roast
and add one quartered medium
onion, one slice green pepper and
one tart apple, thinly sliced. Tie to
gether with a string.
Generously sprinkle red and black
pepper over roast. It brings out the
flavor of venison but will lose the
hot taste during cooking.
Next, cover meat with 3 strips of
bacon. Wrap roast in foil and slow
cook in oven at 250 to 300 degrees
for 2-4 hours, depending on size.
