Poor man’s lobster

2012-02-02T10:35:11Z

got this and I’m going to try it thought Id share it since it seems nice and easy.

Have you ever been in the mood for lobster, but cant afford it? DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT! I have a tasty alternative to cooking your fish in the deep fryer… All you need is fish fillets, a pot of water, and some fixin’s! Best enjoyed with a freshly cracked beer, or a nice glass of red wine.

Just follow these quick simple steps, and your well on your way to enjoying dinner!

1. Take your fillet (of whatever your fish of choice might be), and cut it into cubes about 1 inch in size each.

2. In a pot, bring a generous amount of water to a boil.

3. Add a half cup of sugar and quarter cup of lemon juice to the boiling water, let boil for a few moments.

4. Drop your cubes of fish into the boiling water. The cubes will sink to the bottom of the pot.

5. Once the cubes begin to rise, use a slotted spoon, and remove them from the boiling water.

6. Melt some butter or margarine in a sauce pan, adding garlic (I also add Cajun spices), and pour the mixture into a small dish for dipping.

7. Take some tooth picks, and DIG IN!

Its simple, and tastes great!

Turkey Sloppy Joes

2011-09-27T23:14:00Z

Here’s a recipe you’ll be sure to like and I’ve used it for years. Take 1 pound of ground turkey (not breast meat if buying it in the grocery store), 2 tablespoons flour, 1 can Campbell’s French Onion Soup, hamburger buns, sliced dill pickles, and mustard. Brown the ground turkey and break into pieces as it cooks. Stir in flour and add soup. Simmer until juice is absorbed. Serve on hamburger buns along with dill pickle slices and yellow mustard.

Venison Tenderloin

2011-09-27T12:57:35Z

Take one back strap and cut the thickest 6”-10” section from middle. Cut the two end pieces into round slices about 1/4” thick (the thickness of bacon). Marinade in your favorite recipe over night. Take the middle section and split down the middle leaving the bottom and two ends uncut leaving a pocket. Place a small whole jalapeno at each end and fill pocket with marinade. Place on grill away from flame and allow to slow cook keeping the pocket filled so as not to dry out. Drain the remainder meat. Use a paper sack to mix flour, chili powder, paprika powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and/or any seasoning powders you like. Heat oil in a skillet and sear pieces on each side. It will not take long to cook. This can also be done in a deep fryer at 350 but make sure they cook quickly to seal in the flavor and not become soggy.

Nate Whiteman’s Pulled Goose Breast Sandwiches

2010-02-09T11:04:02Z

USA’s National Membership Coordinator Nate Whiteman shared this recipe. Try it out and let us know if it’s any good or not.

Ingredients:
- Canada Goose Breast – As many as you can fit into a Crock Pot (6-8)
- 2 Quarts of Cran-Apple Juice
- 2 Tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning (more if desired)

Directions:
1. Nearly fill a slow cooker with goose breast
2. Add 2 Tbsp. of Old Bay Seasoning to bottle of Cran- Apple juice and shake to dissolve.
3. Pour juice/spice mixture over goose breast until completely covered. (add more juice/spice if necessary)
4. Cover Crock-Pot and cook on low for about six hours.
5. After six hours, there should be a film floating atop the goose breast (fat, a couple feathers and some other unidentifiable crud – depending on how well you cleaned
your birds).
6. Spoon the film out of the slow cooker.
7. Remove the breasts and shred the meat with a fork. If it doesn’t shred, it needs to cook a bit longer.
8. Shred all the breasts and return to the slow cooker full of juice and continue to cook on low for another couple of hours.
9. Fill a bun and devour.

Baked Venison Sausage ring

2008-08-25T16:00:22Z

I’m blessed to be married to a fine German girl who knows a good sausage when she taste one,.... so she lets me do the cooking. We live in an area the has several great German butcher meat processing centers that also process Venison each year. We get our Venison smoked every year for added flavor. For this recipe you’ll need 1 pound of smoked or un-smoked, sweet or hot Venison sausage in a whole ring, 1 box 12 - 16oz, or pouch of au gratin, or scalloped potatoes, 1 block of your favorite cheese, I prefer Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, or Monterey, but you can also use Cheddar, & 1 6-pack or case of your favorite beer. Start by shredding the cheese, at least half of the block or more if you like extra cheese, into a bowl & put aside for later. Next par boil the sausage in a frying pan using a 50/50 mix of 1/2 cup water & your favorite beer. Open the beer, sip & taste for freshness, if fresh pour 1/2 cup into the frying pan. Cook the sausage slowly for about 6 - 8 minutes while sipping the rest of the beer. All great cooks taste their food while cooking. After 6 - 8 minutes remove sausage from pan & place on a covered plate. Follow directions for potatoes & place in a casserole dish in oven at 350 for about 30 minutes. Open another beer & taste for freshness, continue to sip for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes open oven door, spoon potatoes to the side & add the Venison sausage, cover the sausage with potatoes & continue to cook fo 10 more minutes. With 5 minute left to cook add the shredded cheese to the top of the sausage & potatoes & continue to cook, watching the cheese so it melts nicely, don’t burn the cheese. Remove after 5 minutes & place the casserole on hot plate. Open 2 more beers, call over a friend & admire the casserole & toast the hunter & the cook….....enjoy….Bear Killer

Iron Skillet Goose

2009-05-30T13:27:32Z

Start with a good ole’, well seasoned iron skillet, 8” works good. A couple of nice filleted goose breast halves with a little seasonig of your choice. I like the garlic/seasalt grinders and fresh coarse ground black pepper. Preheat oven to 350 (F). Pour enough olive oil in the skillet to just cover the bottom. Heat skillet high heat on the stove top ‘till the oil just starts to smoke and drop in the goose. This will splatter some, but don’t cover with anything but a screen. If the wife makes too much noise about the mess, she might change her mind after tasting the finished product. Besides, REAL men CAN clean a kitchen! Let this sizzle, smoke and pop for about 3 min, no longer than 4 and turn. After another 3-4 minutes on this side, remove from stove (don’t forget hot pad) and slide skillet and goose right into preheated oven. After about 10 min in oven, I turn it off and leave for another 5 min without disturbing. Of course times may be adjusted for size and cut of meat and desired doneness. I like my goose on the rare to med-rare side. Comes out like prime rib. Thin slice across the grain like you would tri-tip. If you de-glaze the skillet with a little water, or wine, or a good beer, or….. a quick sauce or gravy takes only another couple of minutes. Try some fresh rosemary, fresh garlic, fresh…. right in the skillet when you first fire up. Experiment with your tastes. This technique can be used on almost all thick cuts of any red meat (works well with tenderized venison & elk too). Now I’m hungry! Might have to go mess up the kitchen!
