Quail with Tomato-Basil Beurre Blanc

Don’t let the name run you off. It’s just a wine and butter sauce. Great on fish and light-fleshed game, such as quail, which is what is seen here. Try it with red wine (beurre rouge) with antlered game and waterfowl – and let me know what you think of it. If you don’t like…

Pan-Seared Tenderloin with Zinfandel Sauce

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll use an inexpensive generic wine for a reduction and save my money for the wines that I drink.

Two Great Salsas

A departure from traditional tomato salsas, these are two of my favorite grilled venison toppers. After preparing the salsas, let them stand at room temperature for an hour to blend flavors and give them a chance to warm up. Putting cold salsa on a hot venison steak or fish just doesn’t make good sense. Black…

Easy Meat Sauce Recipe For Venision

Whenever I make a meaty red sauce, I make a giant batch. I’ll use some of it for a few days on pasta, chicken, over burgers, with meatballs or spread over pizza dough. The rest is divided into smaller batches, cooled and packed for the freezer. When I’m short on prep time, I can quick-thaw…
