Soak them in milk for about 15-30 minutes. If you do not have milk, yogurt, salty water. This is ony necessary if they smell a bit gamy and dove, live duck smeel gamy most of the time. Pat dry, season with salt & pepper, dice up some jalapeno or other pepper and stuff all this into a bell pepper. Good the bell pepper on top of foil close to the fire. Cook until the pepper is burned on the outside. This should take about 15 minutes. IF you have no bell pepper but other spices, put the doves and spices inside a brown paper bag and cook this beside the fire for about 1 hour. The moisture in the doves and any vegetables you can add will keep the paper from flaming up. This paper bag method is excellent for venison and any other game meat. Have a great time!!

Answer 3

ROAST DOVE
Wrap each dove with bacon. Put the dove in a roasting pan, breast side up.
Roast in 350' oven 20- 30 minutes, depending on size of dove. They are done when the thigh joint separates easily from the body.
Remove dove from the pan along with the cooked bacon.
(I like to continue to cook the bacon until crisp and crumble it for a garnish).
Pour off all but about 2 T. of the dripping in the pan. Add a couple of tablespoons flour to the drippings, stirring until the flour starts to brown. Add salt and pepper. Add about 2 c. water mixed with milk, a little at a time to make a nice gravy. Be sure to scrape up all the nice browned bits on the bottom of the pan, gives great color and flavor to the gravy. Cook, stirring, until gravy thickens.
Serve with mashed potatoes or rice. Put the dove next to the potatoes or rice, put gravy over all. Sprinkle with the cooked bacon, cut up.
YUM!!!!!

Answer 4

We pluck and keep the whole dove. There is small pieces of meat on legs and wings. I don't want to waste any meat. The best way for me to cook them is fry them. Just coat them with flour and put in skillet with your favorite oil. They don't need to cook but 2-3 minutes on each side. They need to be med rare. If any longer they get tough. Also you have to make gravy with the cracklings. Flour in skillet mix with oil and cracklings pour milk and stir til thick. Mashed potatoes and fried corn.. Great meal

Answer 5

Well my brother is a hunter and always fried his dove. He would make a batter from flour and seasonings, dip in milk and dread in batter. Then he would just fry them until brown. I remember eating these as a kid. You might also check on www.allrecipes.com

Answer 7

I have cooked this a few times. My husband would bring me the breasts only, he said it was the only part worth eating. I would season with whatever I felt like (s&p, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, Italian seasoning, etc.), put them in an 8x8 baking dish, pour cream-of-whatever soup over all, cover and bake. Delicious!!

Answer 8

This is the same recipe that I've used, and they taste great. You're using only the breasts...... not enough meat on the wings or legs to be worth the trouble.
