I am looking for appetizer recipes for exotic & wild game meats!?

Question

I am primarily looking for appetizer recipes that use exotic & wild game meats such as: Bison, Elk, Venison, Boar, Duck, Pheasant, Bear, etc. They should be fairly easy to prepare, as well as being very manly but still classy & elegant.

Even though I am mostly looking for appetizers if you have another favorite recipe that utilizes any of the above ingredients or any others that I haven’t listed, please feel free to share!

It is for a “possible” (still several months away) graduation party for my husband. Thanks!

Answer 1

Cheese Stuffed Meatballs

1 lbs. ground meat (moose, deer, bear, elk, beef, pork etc.)
½ cup fine bread crumbs
1 egg
2-3 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. season salt
½ tsp. pepper
¼" cubed cheese (sharp is better)
Mix meat with all ingredients except cheese, shape meat into balls with a small piece of cheese inside. Best if chilled for an hour, but not necessary. Pan fry in oil or deep fry. Serve on toothpick with sauce for dipping

Honey Mustard Sauce

½ cup Mayonnaise (mayonnaise not Miracle Whip)
2 tbsp. liquid honey
1 tsp. mustard
Mix mayonnaise, honey and mustard. Amounts can be varied depending on tastes.



Venison Tenders

INGREDIENTS
Cut venison in strips 1/2" by 1/2" and 4" long.
Marinate 8 to 12 hours in the following:
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon ( or less) garlic powder
black pepper to taste (I use 1/4 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon onion powder or dehydrated onion

Directions
Remove venison strips from the marinate and let dry.
Dip in egg whites.
Dip in crushed dry Pepperidge Farms stuffing mix.
Fry quickly in a quarter inch of very hot oil.



Duck or Goose Nuggets

INGREDIENTS
Cubed duck breasts or goose
1 bottle BBQ sauce
2 cans of beer
Bacon
Toothpicks
Glass of water

Directions
Mix the BBQ sauce with 1 1/2 cans of beer.
Place the cubed duck breasts (approx 1 to 1 1/2 inch) in this marinade overnight.
Mix every now and then.
Take the nuggets out, wrap with bacon and secure with toothpicks.
Throw the nuggets on the grill on medium heat. Be sure to watch the grill, as the bacon grease causes flareups that can turn your tasty nuggets into coals in no time. This is where the water comes in handy.
Baste them with BBQ sauce.
Grill them until they are medium to medium rare, take off and enjoy. This "finger food" makes a great appetizer at parties.

Answer 2

Any of the meats you mentioned, with possibly the exception of the duck and pheasant, can be sliced thinly and marinated in teriyaki sauce (or what ever flavor you like). Then thread on wooden skewers and broil. You could also have the bison, elk or venison ground and make meatballs and serve with a sauce made of a can of cream of celery or mushroom soup, 1/3-1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 package of dried onion soup mix. Add the cooked meatballs and heat through. Good luck...it sounds like an interesting party!

Answer 3

I don't have any information on exotic recipes for graduation parties, but a website that has links to graduation party recipes for all types of graduation parties like a brunch, grill out, or more sophisticated dinner party are all included at http://www.squidoo.com/graduationparty/

It also has other graduation party information like graduation songs, graduation party supplies, and the like. A lot of them probably won't be handy for your husband's graduation party, but some of them will probably be useful.
