Wild game Dinners

[IronNoggin]

Sometime during the winter I made up a huge batch of Lasagna complete with whitetail, 5 cheese types, spinach & cottage cheese.
Froze individual sized pieces after vac sealing them.
Thawed out a couple of those and tossed them in the oven last night:



Complimented with garlic toast, a fresh garden salad and a fine French Merlot.



Another cold, wet & rainy day, may as well delve into the comfort food...

Cheers,

Last night it was Whitetail Backstraps on the BarBee:



Complimented with crispy taters from the air fryer and a fresh garden salad:



Passing the sniff test:



And of course, a fine Cab to wash it all down with.

Cheers!

Night before last I took out too much Ling Cod for our Panko Ling dinner.
So yesterday I was thinking of ways to use up the leftovers.
Chowder...

No less than seven kinds of seafood: Prawns, Scallops, Crab, Clams, Ling Cod, Halibut & Maple Smoked Salmon.
Mixed in with chicken stock, taters, onions, carrots, celery, corn, heavy cream and that wonderful Bow River Blend from the Silk Road Shop.

Forgot to mention a good splash of 2020 Sauvignon Blanc.


Four quarts & change:



First time I have ever tried this with Smoked Salmon.
From here on it will be a required ingredient!

Served up with cheesy garlic toast:



The perfect answer on yet another wet & windy eve.

Pressure canning the balance today in anticipation of eventual more wet weather down the road.

Good thing I referred to the manual, then had a look online
Any product with MILK, Cream or the like is TABOO to pressure can.
Apparently there is a high risk of Botulism associated with doing so.


Freezing it is...

Took some of the garlic scape pesto we made last summer, mixed that with Greek Spice, Olive Oil, Onion, Dry Mustard and a shot of Dijon Mustard for the glaze...

Going to try that one with a whole whitetail shoulder this eve...

Stay tuned...

Dark wet & windy night.
Decided to forgo any thoughts of the BarBee and make a whitetail shoulder roast instead.

Took some of the garlic scape pesto we made last summer, mixed that with Greek Spice, Olive Oil, Onion, Dry Mustard, a shot of Dijon Mustard and a splash of Sauvignon Blanc for the glaze:



Well covered, then into the clay baker:



Man does the house ever smell GREAT when that stuff is cooking!!

A little over an hour & 1/2 at 320 degrees, and time to rest:



Falling off the bone tender:



Served up with stuffed taters, a fresh garden salad, and a fine Merlot:



Was excellent!

Obviously lots of leftovers as my Lady and I simply can't chow down an entire shoulder between us.
And that ain't a bad thing as this latest coastal storm continues to hammer us...
Whitetail Stroganoff tonight methinks.

Cheers,

Good call on the chowder. Pulled out the end piece of my Christmas bear ham. Nice to have a robust soup in this nasty weather.

But if a kitchen sink/left over vege mix - potatoes, onion, carrot, celery, green beans, broccoli, bacon, bear ham, corn and peas of course.

Looking awfully YUMMY there Sir!!

Whitetail Stroganoff tonight methinks.

Well that didn't quite pan out according to plan...

Was just getting ready to work that up when one of my Buddies called: Just in from the chuck.
Man, you were out there in that storm?
Yeah, it was BRUTAL!! Anyway I strongly suggest you wander by in the next few minutes...

Saddled up and ran over.
He then presented me with a nice bag of oysters, a bag of prawns, and two tail sections off a winter spring. All fresh out of the briney!
Fine fellow that one is!!

Couple feeds coming from these methinks:



Prepped for the BarBee (I don't care of it's wet & windy any more... LOL)
Bow River Blend on the salmon, Roasted Garlic & Red Peppers on the prawns.



Just a few minutes on the heat:



Served up with Honey Garlic Noodles:



Absolutely Fantastic when fresh out of the water like that!!

Now maybe I can get to that Stroganoff tonight...

Cheers,
Nog

First time poster in this thread but long time follower. There are some amazing looking meals posted here that I look forward to trying!

I have tried to make a few posts but have been having issues uploading photos, but I think I finally got it figured out. I am curious how others post the photos in here. I keep getting an error when I try to add it though the HBC website. Using imgur seems to work but then you have to go through a link.

We had a simple easy dinner last night. Blacktail Tortilla shell pasta, with homemade beer bread and mimosas.

Right click on the image in Imgur.
Select "Copy Image Link".
Click on the "Insert Image" Icon in the tool bar above the text window on HBC.
Select "From URL"
Click on "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" to deselect that.
Right Click inside the URL text box.
Select "Paste".
Select "OK".
It goes a hell of a lot faster doing than explaining...
Cheers
