Recipes for Wild Game

edited August 2002 in General Discussion
Saw a thread on another board and thought it was a good enouph idea to spread around. Here is one I tried last year. A friend of mine who was a chef at one of my favorite restaurants gave me the idea. I substituted venison tenderloin for beef and it turned out pretty decent.

Beef Wellington/Venison

1 Whole Tenderloin Venison
1 Package Filo Dough
1 can Mushrooms
2 sticks real butter
1 clove garlic/minced
1 tsp cracked pepper
1 tsp dill salt (kind used on margaritas)
1 can beef broth
1 box corn starch
1 package chicken liver (optional)
1 6oz package of fetta cheese

starting at top of tenderloin make a 1/2" incision the entire length of the tenderloin.
Roll the tenderloin and continue to cut until it is a 1/2" thick flat piece of meat. To do this will require a sharp knife.
In a large skillet melt 1/2 stick of real butter.
As it simmers place the tenderloin into the skillet and brown on both sides. Avoid overcooking.
Remove Tenderloin from skillet and allow to cool.

Cook garlic in same pan after meat is removed.

Pre heat your oven to 325

If you choose to use the liver it is for a patte'. Boil the liver in water until completely cooked. Drain and place in food processor and blend thoroughly. Add 2tbls worchester (sp) sauce, 1 tsp salt and garlic then blend together.

In sauce pan putt beef broth and mushrooms and bring to boil. Mix two heeping tbsps of corn starch and 1/2 cup cold water and add to beef broth and mushrooms to make gravy. Stir while adding. If it does not thicken up adequately add more starch cold water mixture as needed.

Sprinkle the inside of the meat with salt and cracked pepper and distribute evenly accross the face.

Mix some of the gravy with the liver mixture, just enouph to make it spread smoothly and spread this in a thin layer evenly across the face of the meat.

Spread the Fetta cheese along the face of the meat and then roll the meat back up.

It should look like a jelly roll.

Now the fun part.
Melt the remaining butter in a sauce pan.
with a bbq brush, lightly brush the butter onto the filo and wrap the venison in the layers of filo. It will take several layers, at least six or seven.

Take the filo wrapped tenderloin and place it in the oven and bake until the filo becomes golden brown on the outside. Usually about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and cut into 1" thick sections. Serve it plain or cover with gravy.

Served with side dishes of Mashed potatoes, cooked carrots and green beans.

    My favorite CARP (fish) recipe:

    Take one medium to large CARP

    Scale, and clean well

    Salt and pepper to taste, and spices, butter and lemon

    Place on piece of pine board (flavor) and bake in oven for two hours.

    After cooking, throw out the CARP and EAT the BOARD

    Here's a quicky for deer sausage

    1 lb deer sausage
    4-6 lg green peppers
    rice
    1 can corn
    1 lg onion
    3 cans V8 juice (spicy or regular)
    italian seasoning
    garlic salt
    pepper
    hot peppers (optional)

    brown the sausage and onions (and diced hot peppers), and add desired seasoning, then add corn, and 1st can V8. Let sit while rice is cooking. Mix enough rice in with the mixture to fill up the peppers that have had the tops cut out so as to form a bowl shape. Add rest of seasoning you may want, moisten the filled peppers by adding more V8 until it runs out of peppers. Pour rest of V8 into the bottom of corning ware dish and place peppers in, cover, and bake for 45 minutes or until peppers cook. Stuufed peppers with a twist. this is the best way can explain it, as I don't have the cooking lingo down, but love to cook just the same. I usually don't use a measure once I have the ingredients memorized.

    Sounds good justc, if you know some others keep em comin maybe we could do a wild game cook book or something. It doesnt seem like too many people in here are interested in cooking. I love it, only part that sucks is the dishes afterwards.

    DEAD DEER CHILI
    Everyone has their own idea of what chili is and how it is supposed to be made. This is my interpretation and i've never had anyone say they didn't like it....then again nobody would ever say my chili was bad to my face!!! I would say it is a "medium" on the hot n spicy scale....it won't burn the tongue, but it will make you sweat a little.............


    2 pounds dead ground up deer
    2 , 15 ounce cans of whole tomatoes (cut into good sized chunks add juice and all)
    1, 16 ounce can tomato sauce
    3 cloves of garlic, chopped
    1/3 cup ketchup
    4 table spoons red pepper sauce (tobasco)
    2 large onions medium diced
    1-1/2 cups celery medium diced
    1-1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon blk pepper
    4 table spoons chili powder
    2 15 ounce?? cans dark red kidney beans

    I am not sure what size pot i use, but i think it is six quarts...so.......

    in a six quart pot combine meat, celery, garlic, and onion, cook untill meat is browned then drain off juices. Add all ingredients except beans. simmer coverd for one hour. Add beans (undrained) and simmer uncovered for twenty minutes. stir the whole mess once in a while and serve with sour cream and shredded cheddar on top...maybe a few green onions too, and don't forget the honey sweet cornbread!! if you like bland chili cut the tobasco in half and add it at the table as desired..........
    enjoy,
    Craig

    Hunter4life -

    Just wait til the Southern boys on the board read your chili recipe.

    Putting tomatoes or tomato sauce (and beans) in chili makes 'em cringe! Top it off with sour cream and shredded cheddar and you can REALLY get 'em going. (I prefer my chili almost exactly like your recipe, with one minor addition. I like to add a half pound or so of hot Italian sausage to the dead deer meat).

    If yer feeling adventerous, try also adding some cooked, diced up dead duck meat to the mix, after the other meat has cooked up with the onions, garlic, etc. For some reason, the duck goes real well in chili. Some of the best chili I've ever made and eaten had duck meat in the mix.

    Well, since it's dove season,.......

    6-8 Dove breasts
    beef bullion
    egg noodles
    1 large onion
    salt and pepper
    1 can mushrooms

    Place the breasts in a croc pot with the beef bullion, mushrooms, and the large onion diced up. Season to taste and cook until meat falls off the breast bone. Then cook your egg noodles in another pot. Now extract the dove from the croc pot, pour the broth in a pan, and simmer while using corn starch or flour and water to create a gravy. Put the dove breasts, and gravy over the egg noodles. This is a great way to enjoy dove, which can be a little rich sometimes.
