I will have to try these recipes. It iwll take about another three or four days before I have a good meal for the family.

Here's a site with some good dove recipes as well as recipes for other wildgame found in US...

I pluck the dove and leave them whole. Put them into a bowl and drench the whole lot with Tabasco. Let sit for about a half hour then dredge with seasoned (salt, pepper and Italian herb mix) flour or breadcrumbs and brown in olive oil. Add 1/3 cup chicken stock and 1/3 cup dry sherry, cover, reduce heat to simmer and let cook 20 minutes. Put the birds on a big bed of rice, whisk up the sauce and pour over the pile. I've had anti-hunters come back for seconds!

Well, I thought I posted a recipe on here but I guess I screwed up some way. Lets try again.

Take 15-20 dove breasts and flour them well. Brown them in a BIG skillet with olive oil and butter. When they are browned well add a mess of diced onions, shallots, garlic, and sliced mushrooms.

Now comes the magic ingredient. Put in a healthy dose of dry vermouth. Other white wine just does not add the same flavor.

Cover this mess and simmer for about 25 minutes on medium heat.

Take the cover off and add a big blob of butter. Turn the heat up and drive off the excess liquid.

Serve with noodles or rice and enjoy!!

The same recipe works well with quail or even veal.
