Austrian Braised Venison Shanks Recipe

Venison shanks with sauerkraut is not the fanciest, daintiest plate of food I’ve ever made. But it’s damn good, and is well worth your time to make if you have shanks from some large animal lying around. Shanks, you should know, are some of the best-tasting cuts on any critter. They should never be cut up into sausage — too much connective tissue — and it’s true that there’s really very little you can do with shanks… except braise them. Or smoke them and then braise.. | @huntgathercook

How to Smoke Doves

Smoked doves are easy to make, versatile and are good hot or cold. What’s not to love? There are two origins to this dish. The first is that I’d been meaning to smoke doves for ages. After all, they are a Labor Day tradition in much of the country, and once you have your annual fix of dove poppers, you need some other recipes — preferably those that can be done outside.

Doves with Prickly Pear BBQ Sauce Recipe: How to Grill Doves

I use whole doves for this, as they pluck so easily. If you don't have whole doves, it will still work but won't be as pretty. And for you non-hunters out there, use either squab or quail. The sauce can be refrigerated for several weeks beforehand. This prickly pear barbecue sauce can be as fiercely hot or as mild as you want. It gets its flavor from prickly pear fruit, tequila and chiles, ideally smoked chiles like chipotle, or wild, hot ones like chile pequin or chiltepin. | @huntgathercook
