Venison (or Beef or Lamb) Shawarma

Posted in Beef, Food, Game, Lebanese Food, Lebanese Recipes, RecipesLeave a comment

I’ve posted about Maui Nui Axis deer before here. In short it’s a delicious and densely nutrient and protein packed meat that is sustainably “raised” (since it is mostly wild) and harvested on the island of Maui, Hawaii. The leg roast is consistently my favorite cut due to its versatility and -relative to other cuts-…… Continue reading Venison (or Beef or Lamb) Shawarma

Venison Leg Roast, Portuguese Flavors with Chickpeas

Posted in Food, Game, Legumes, Recipes, Sous VideLeave a comment

Axis deer are overpopulated in Hawaii. They happen to have delicious meat that is also very dense in protein and nutrients while at the same time being mild and lean. So, it makes sense on all levels for a company like Maui Nui to realize the potential of what they have in Hawaii, humanely harvest…… Continue reading Venison Leg Roast, Portuguese Flavors with Chickpeas

Duck season is almost here and I still had a few teal in the freezer. The kids have been asking me to make some dumplings at home. They love steamed dumplings at Chinese restaurants and wanted to see if I can make a version at home. Not one to shy away from a started looking…… Continue reading Szechuan Broth with Duck and Goose Dumplings

A Terrine of Teal

We shot a limit of teal (small ducks) this year on one of our trips. It was two of us and my buddy did not want to take his share and deal with the clean-up. I was happy to take his share of the hunt (even if I am never happy about the cleanup of…… Continue reading A Terrine of Teal

I travel a lot for work typically for a project in one city that could take anywhere from a few weeks to over a year. Travelling every week for a few days to the same city can be weary. The upside to this latest particular engagement is that it is in the lovely city of…… Continue reading Pok Pok: Wild Duck Laap, Thai Pork Fried Rice, Cucumber Salad

Wild Duck, Cabbage, Fried Hominy and Red Wine Beet Sauce

I’m still working on my wild duck cooking skill and the best result I’ve gotten so far is through removing the breasts and legs and cooking them separately. I’ve made a “quick salad” for my kids and I recently and I basically sautéed everything for different times and then sliced and served on top of…… Continue reading Wild Duck, Cabbage, Fried Hominy and Red Wine Beet Sauce

Roasted Teal with Delicata Squash, Farro and Spiced Red Wine Sauce

About a month or so ago I finally got all my plans in order and booked a hunting trip with a local guide to see if I can get myself some wild ducks. It’s been many years since I’ve been hunting but finally I get myself a gun, license and practiced some clay shooting at local…… Continue reading Roasted Teal with Delicata Squash, Farro and Spiced Red Wine Sauce

Alinea: BOAR, Shallot, Cider, Burning Oak Leaves

Posted in Book Recipes, Food, Fruits, Game, Sous Vide1 Comment

Fall is finally here -more or less I suppose- and changing the way I cook is natural. Even if I can find tomatoes and peppers well into November and December I still prefer to cook more “orange” and “brown” stuff. It makes me and Diana happy to pick up some winter squashes or sweet potatoes and start cooking…… Continue reading Alinea: BOAR, Shallot, Cider, Burning Oak Leaves
