Another great weekend at @costilowdecoys @coffeecreekcork!

Duck Sushi was a highlight of the menu, the guys loved it!

I sous vide the duck to 130°, aiming for the texture of firm tuna/salmon. I played on duck poppers and also made some traditonal rolls as well.

Crispy rice with salmon and also the same sous vide duck. 👌🏼

Smoked duck and goose pastrami charcuterie board. 🫡

Mississippi Pot Roast in some vintage crockpots.

Big brunch on Sunday with eggs, pancakes, French toast, bacon, venison maple sausage.

If you have a hunting lodge or camp and are interested in having a private cook, give me a call. I love what I do and can provide references who can attest to the value in which I bring. ✊🏼

Thanks again Luke for having me! 👊🏼 by @wildgamecook

A great recipe for duck and goose legs/thighs. 💯

Whether you call them dumplings, wontons, potstickers, or gyoza, it doesnt matter to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Steps:

- Brine the legs in @himtnseasonings Gamebird and Poultry brine (OPTIONAL)

- Debone the meat

- Place chunks in food processor or grinder

- Then add your ingredients to a bowl

I like to use (approx):

Meat (around 1/2lb)
White Miso Paste (2-3tbsp)
Minced garlic (1 tbsp)
Grated ginger (1/2 tbsp)
Fish sauce (1/2 tbsp)
Sesame oil (1/2 tbsp)
Green onions thinly chopped (3-4 tbsp)
Salt and pepper (pinch of each)
Red chili flakes (to taste)

Many of these can be left out, just play with it. Feel free to saute the green onions if you wish.

Mix to incorporate. Place small amount of mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet 2 edges of your wonton wrapper. And then fold onto itself. Looks and presentation isn't all that important and you can watch videos online to see how to make them look nice.

Place a little oil (~2-3 tbsp) in a skillet. Add in your dumplings and sear the bottom side slightly. Then add 1/4c of water and add a lid to steam them for a couple mins. It doesnt take long to cook through. Shuffle them around to get all the edges cooked a little.

Serve with @trybachans original, yum yum, and chili Feel free to add sesame seeds and or green onions! by @wildgamecook

"OLIVE OIL" is quite possibly the most misused term in cooking. 💯

I see it all the time where someone is telling you to use "olive oil" to sear a steak and they themselves or those who misinterpret it, use EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. 🤯

At so many of my private events, the majority of patrons are dumbfounded to learn there is not only a different in olive oils, but that extra virgin isnt the better option in most cases.

"All the fancy TV chefs use it, so thats what I use"

The name lends itself to appear the best quality, and it most certainly is in the right application/cooking method.

Admittedly, I used to misuse EVOO as well until I learned the differences of the varieties of Olive Oil (Regular, light, light virgin, extra virgin, amongst others I'm sure).

This simple trick of making the switch to plain Olive Oil will dramatically effect your cooking. Taste, texture, and so much more. 💯

To be clear, I use EVOO all the time! Just not for high temp sautéeing, searing, frying, etc. 🫡

I'll be posting a couple more simple tips for elevating your cooking in the kitchen. Stay tuned!

Fire has been part of these landscapes for generations. I was glad to join my friend at Kestrel Prescribed Fire Solutions for a nine-acre burn across land with both native and invasive species.

Prescribed fire is one way we can care for these places now and help pass them along to the next generation.

Old things • Wild places • & the life in between.

How many of these you puttin' down? 🕊🌶🥓

I dont make poppers often. If I'm being honest, I think they are over rated. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That said, if nothing more than nostalgia, I enjoy poppers a couple times a year. And if it weren't for #DovePoppers, I never would've started @wildgamecook. That is the entire meaning behind my tagline...inspiring others to try new ways to enjoy #wildgame. I love poppers, there's just so many other ways to enjoy dove, ducks, deer, etc. 💯

Recipe:

I doctored up the cream cream with @trybachans, @bwwings Asian Zing, minced garlic and ginger, @mikeshothoney, and @lanesbbq Qnami. A perfect blend of SWEET & HEAT! 🔥

I pre cooked the bacon a little before putting on the @campchef on HIGH. I also pre baked the jalapeños for 20mins and they were seasoned with @pullywissleprovisions PDUB rub and drizzled with evoo. 3 of them were made with sliced peaches because I ran out of jalapeño. They were pretty solid as well. 👊🏼

After bringing inside, some of them were rolled and tossed in @shaeffs_sauces pepper jelly! 👌🏼 by @wildgamecook
