HOW TO COOK WILD GAME

[rt]

I thought we could share some small game recipies because I love wild game. my favorite rabbit recipe is to section a rabbit in 5 peices front and back legs and the back. next I like to soak in water over night add salt it help draws out the blood. change the water a few times it helps the taste. I then place them in a pressure cooker and cook slowly untill the meat is falling off the bone. I then drain and let cool next remove all bones and place the meat only in a bowl pour barbq sauce in the bowl and stir you can then eat it plain or put it on a bun it will knock your socks off I promise. Tame rabbit is even better I keep my freezer stocked with those bad boys.

I usally cook squirrel by cutting the front legs and back legs off . then I pressure cook them untill done and then you fry them untill covered with crispy coating better then chicken.

First kill 3 or four squirrels depending on species and size. Clean them, quarter them and boil them down. Pick all the ,meat off the bones and put them in a pot pie..unfortuanlty...i dont know the recipe...haha sorry. Grey squirrel is yummy though. iwll be eating many when i have a .22 next fall.

I am currently working on a book titled "Memories of Texas People, Foods and Recipies. It will cover a lot of old time cowboy, ranch and deer camp foods. If there is some special thing you want to know how to prepare that fits in that heading let me know and I will see what I can turn out for you. The first thing you need for game cooking is basic seasoning of which I will give you the best I have found in 35 years of cooking for hunters and cowboys.

The following is a basic rub and seasoning. It is measured in parts so you can use teaspoons or gallon buckets depending on how much you want to make.


Wild Ed's Brisket Rub and Meat Seasoning

8 parts Salt
5 parts Course Ground Black Pepper
2 parts Garlic Powder (do not use garlic salt)
1 part Ground Allspice
1 part Cayenne Pepper (optional for non Texans)

We keep a jar mixed up and on the stove and use it to season everything from eggs in the morning to salads at night. ;D

Hey do you have any bean recipies in that thing? I have a bunch of venison to go with some beans.....

[wilded]

You like Chili beans or regular cowboy beans? ET Or how much noise do you want to make. ;D

[ccrobbins]

Hell I will try either one. Just dont tell the wife I am looking for bean recipies!

Put 5 cups of dried pinto beans in a large pot. Rinse and make sure they are clean. Pour in one bottle of your favorite dark beer, no light sh**t here. Put in a whole small onion or half a big one, One seeded bell pepper cut in about 4 sections. One large tomato cut in 4 sections, two smashed garlic cloves or a teaspoon of garlic powder, the real stuff is better. Cover the beans with water and bring to a low simmer. Put a lid on the pot and do not open for 45 minutes. In 45-60 minutes open the pot and add however much water is needed to make sure the beans are covered in water as they will soak up a lot. Continue cooking on low simmer until tender. After 2 hours of cooking put one teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Put this in after the beans have cooked for at least 2 hours or the skin on the beans will be tough.
When tender enjoy. For Chili beans add 1 whole jalapeno, another 2 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 tablespoon of cumin after two hours. ET

Mmmmmm...you're even making ME hungry. I think I'd have to add bacon though.

[wilded]

A whole ham hock or bone is great. A lot of people these days don't want the grease. Feel free to add whatever you want.

[ccrobbins]

sounds great. We do something "kinda" similar to that at the lease. I am usually not "allowed" to eat these at home......go figure?

[wilded]
