Eating well lately

[Deleted member 38069]

Over the last week, the wife and I only cooked wild game for dinner. This has only made me more excited for hunting season.

The first night I sous vided elk tenderloin, from the neighbor, to 126°F then finished with a quick sear. The wife prepped zucchini, cucumbers, onions, and green peppers from the garden.


The next night I fried up the rest of our perch fillets and she cooked vegetables.


Next up, some brook trout!

Our freezer is too empty...I need to fix that with some grouse and/or ducks in a few weeks!

I got to get me one of the sous vides. Looks good!

They make incompetent cooks (like me) halfway decent.

Now that I'm hungry, you willing to trade some of that for my Hungry Man TV dinner? It's not just a plain Hungry Man, but a "Select" version with nearly recognizable food items.

To update on the meals;

Made some venison chili a couple of nights ago.

I used my last packs of whole muscle and made jerky, maple jalapeno flavored.

Maple jalapeño sounds intriguing! I really like the sweet heat combo! I wish I would have seen this an hour ago as I just started marinating some goose for jerky to take west later this week.

What did you marinate it with?

 

[Gellar]

I used a recipe from the meat eater cookbook. Soy sauce, orange juice, honey, red pepper, cayenne, ginger, garlic, shallots, br sugar, cumin.

No pictures but I cooked some duck breasts tonight. Thawed the meat and patted them dry. Let them sit in olive oil and salt for thirty minutes. I then pan seared them for two minutes on each side. Delicious! FYI, these were blue wing teal and wood duck. For bigger breasts, I would cook longer because of the size difference.

Decided to clean the freezer out! At lunch, I had smoked rainbows.

And then for dinner I had a pheasant pot pie!

This was a great meal to get ready for the national pheasant fest. Both meals were great!
