• A bacon/Dove wrap-fest! (Pr0n heavy)

[Phrasty]

I just want to start out by saying... I truly believe bacon is God's gift to man... ray: Thank you Lord!

Since my little man was born 5 weeks ago it seems it takes less convincing to smoke up a "little" food and take a stogie up to the roof to "Celebrate". Was thinking what to cook today and I remembered that hunting season (dove) is coming up again and I had some birds from last year in the freezer to "get rid of". I usually just season them up and cook them whole but I wanted to do something a bit different this time around. So I thought I'd de-bone off the breast and the leg and season it up then... wrap it in BACON! :shocked::shocked: Think I had a mindgasm at that point... anyways, so I called up my bredrin and told him to come on over... we having a smoke up, and at that point there was no turning back... The night just got better from there! This is what ensued:

Got the birds out the freezer and started breaking them down:

and the 2 "fillets"

Did up a marinade of premium soy, hoisin, oyster sauce, scotch bonnet, garlic, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, my beef rub and some smoked paprika.

Mixed the birds and marinade and let sit for about 4 hours:

Then wrapped those suckers!

For an appetizer we I grilled up some jerked lamb sausage I get from time to time:

Oh yeah... did some poppers too! :thumb::heh:

And they all went on with some Lychee & guava for smoke, came off and were DEVOURED!

Done:

The hangout:

SOOO FARKIN GOOD!!

Couldn't eat anymore... This was as far as we got. We were stuffed, happy & loving it! Awesome night!

I have ABSOLUTE no idea why I haven't done this before! I mean... It's not "Rocket SURGERY!!!" :crazy::heh::heh:

Goodnight Brethren! I'm about to go to sleep and crash into bliss!
Cheers! :thumb::heh:

Looks great Phrasty! I haven't had Dove since I was a kid. Great memories there.

I have always been a fan of dove wrapped in bacon. Your feast looks great.

 

[Black Dog BBQ]

Yep those dove look good. I only save the breast (lazy) Takes me about a case of 12ga. shells to get my limit these days. I think I was once a good shot... I think. Anyway that looks like a great feast. I really like the looks of that sausage.

Thanks JM, I don't stay in Mobay too often... You staying in a hotel or villa? I can check on food places, have a couple friends down that side... If you want good local food (not necessarily bbq) off the top of my head there's a place called Pelicans (make sure to order the chocolate malt shake! :shocked::becky I'll try remember to ask about it and I'll shoot you a PM. :thumb:

Thanks brother! I've always bbq'd them whole or cook them down on the stove... just short of a stew. What do you season your's with after the JD soak? I had no clue there was dove season in KS... I'm a Jayhawk... :wink::thumb:

Thanks Black Dog, What's the limit there... & what kinda dove you shooting? Our limits are pretty tight... 3 shoots a weekend, 20 birds a shoot, 6 weekends a season. Our season starts next month as well. :becky:

Cheers
