Shelter-in-place cooking

Since I'm still fairly new here, I've decided all you fellas contributing to this thread are undercover PETA members. No way you guys are eating this good and not all weighing in at 300lbs! Not a chance your climbing any hills, ha.

Just kidding obviously, some fantastic looking dishes here. You inspired me to make chicken-fried elk, mashed potatoes, gravy and broccoli last night. If I don't get out of the house and quit eating soon chances of me filling any tags this fall is looking grim :(

Never said I don't weigh 3 bills!

I’ve been stuffing my face with about a pound or more of ultra lean game meat daily for 2 weeks now and no bread/sugar. Lost 6 lbs :)

no food yet, but hopefully there will be some Easter Shelter in Place Pork laying on the ground in the next few hours!!!
 
Sorry....I'm fat and I was hungry so I didn't get a pic of dinner...

Chunked elk backstrap with sliced mushroomed tossed in olive oil and garlic and cooked 4 minutes in the air fryer, then stirred up and cooked another 2 minutes. A couple of jalapeno poppers, and some air fryer fried potatoes. You can't see it, but it was yummy...
 
Corned Elk Round and Cabbage with homemade horseradish mustard sauce and gluten free biscuits.

I used Hank Shaw’s brine recipe with a few small changes. I never deviate from his water/salt/sugar/cure ratios as those are important. However, I use a pickling spice mix that I bought in bulk when I was on a pickling kick. Instead of measuring out all the different spices, I just used about 5tbl of the pickling spice and I double the garlic.

Even though it was a smaller roast I still gave it 6 days in the brine. I think a longer soak yields a better product. I also add butter to the cooking liquid since the elk is so lean. It makes a big difference on the veggies.

The sauce is just grated horseradish, sour cream, course mustard, garlic powder, mustard powder, mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
