Combine all ingredients and refrigerate. The is a fantastic marinade for any wild game or meat. Keeps indefinitely. Makes 1 quart.





Tart or sweet and sour fruit is the best garnish or accompaniment for game. Use such jellies as currant, gooseberry, sour plum or apple.





Wild rice is always good as a side dish w/the above Sauce.


We like cooked black beans hot adding purple onions and Monterray Jack cheese.

2. Remove and add the chopped vegetables, herbs, salt, freshly ground pepper and flour. Mix well.

Dove with Peas, Bologna Style Piccioni in umido





4 dove breasts


8 slices fatty prosciutto crudo, pancetta or other slices of quality pig fat


10 sage leaves


1 bay leaf


3 cloves


Salt and pepper


1 small glass vinegar


1 large glass dry wine, red or white


1 cup (that's two glasses) stock, chicken if possible


2 cups green peas


1 onion


A little butter and oil


1 lemon


Stale bread





Stuff a few sage leaves inside the breasts after cutting butterfly style.





.





Place a few sage leaves on the skin and wrap with the ham, prosciutto, pancetta or bacon slices. Do not be afraid, it is really easy as the ham will stick to the meat.





Heat a little butter with a tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid.











Fry the onions gently until they become soft. Do not let them turn brown at this stage.








With your hands or kitchen tongs, delicately place the dove in the pot for their last voyage, making sure not to tear the ham





Add three cloves...





... and one bay leaf crushed in tiny pieces.





Let the dove roast on one side ...





... then turn them around with care.








When the dove is nicely browned all over,add a small glass of fine vinegar goes into the pot ...





... followed by a large glass of dry red or white wine. After the long simmering there will not be very much left of the wine apart from some sweetness and tartness, so the color of the wine does not make a huge difference. The vinegar apparently evaporates during the cooking and what seems like an unwieldly large quantity is barely perceptible on the tongue when you serve the dish.








Let the liquid boil and the alcohol evaporates over high heat...





... then add a cup of hot stock. Season with salt and pepper.








Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or so





First we will remove the dove from the sauce to avoid overcooking them while the peas cook. Prepare a flat dish and kitchen tongs.





Reserve the dove and cover to keep warm.





Pour the peas into the stock (about 500 grams of peas here).





Mix well.





Simmer well-covered for about 20 minutes or until the peas are no longer floury.





Cut your stale bread into slices and toast them. What we need is really hard bread that will not turn into a mush when dipped into the sauce. You could also fry one-day-old bread slices in some oil or let it dry for a half an hour in a 70掳C oven. Lay the bread in the serving dish.





Carefully place the peas and cooking liquid over the bread with the ladle





Continue until you either run out of peas or your dish is filled up.





On this green bed lay the dove for a short rest. Sprinkle a little lemon juice on top
Wherever did you get dove breast?!?


I imagine you can use any recipe you can find for pheasants, just make sure you adjust the amounts for the size of the dove. Try allrecipes.com, they have all kinds of recipes.
Try wrapping each breast in a strip of bacon and a quarter of jalepeno (use a tooth pick to hold it) then letting it marinate in a honey bbq sauce for 3 or 4 hours, then grill it.








Delicious!
