Ceviche Recipe for those interested:


Cover your fish filets in lime juice and refrigerate (at least 2-4 hrs for very thin fish more for thicker.)..overnight ain't gonna hurt nothin and is even better in my opinion.
Make pico de galo (chopped tomatoes (drain the juice off the tomatoes), diced purple onion, diced serrano pepper(s) (one for miled 2-3 for spicy), an avacado or two and a chopped head of cilantro)



Drain the lime juice off the fish and chop into bite size pieces. Add this to the pico de galo.

Now throw in a few spoonfulls of minced garlic and some horseradish.

Next stir in a half to a full bottle of shrimp cocktail sauce (depends on how much you like the stuff)

Add several dashes of Worsteshire sauce, Louisiana hot sauce and a bunch of Tony Cachere's.

Chill it in the fridge for an hour or so. Dump it out into some dixie cups and serve with some saltines or tortilla chips (use chips/crackers to dip) and lot's of Lone Star Light or a good Mexican beer with lime (good mexican beer does not include Corona)

you can also use shrimp, scallops, etc. as well as fish.





From T-Mac

Gooserole (can use ducks as well)

take a couple plucked ducks, one goose, or several breasts (works too)
Chop up an apple
Coarsly chop up a couple onions (I like purple)
Few Garlic Cloves
Chop up a head of Cilantro
Salt, Pepper, Tony's

You can add some other stuff too if you like...some fresh jap peppers...bottle of beer....some ro-tel...hard to fork this up-
Throw it all in a crock pot...pour water to cover and cook on low overnight....you'll wake up in the AM with a pillow full of drool cuz the savory smell will be all through the house

Cook up some wild rice and pour in a big ol casserole dish
Brown up some Jimmy Dean pan sausage, drain it and throw in the dish
Saute some shrooms in butter/garlic...pour ALL that in the dish
Take some green onion stalks (4-5) and chop em up fine...thow 3/4 of it in the dish and reserve the rest for garnish (the green parts)
Pull bird from crock pot and pick off the bone (won't be hard cuz it will fall off...just get allthe gristle and shit off it) and shred the meat (like pulled pork) throw that in the dish reserving the liguid...you can strain out the veggies and such

Take equal parts cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup (condensed of course) and plop it in the dish....fold it all together and then use the reserved broth (little at a time) to mix soup uo well....cover and bake at 350 deg for 35-40 min until bubbly...uncover and cook for another 5-6 minutes to brown the top some-

Garnish with the rest of the green onion and get to chowin...it's damn good on a cold day and filling...I like to put some Louisiana Red on mine when I graze it

Add 3-4 chopped onions and 3-4 chopped bellpeppers and one 10oz can of rotel and smother down. Then add roux, about 30 oz of tomato sauce, and 10 oz of cream of mushroom. Simmer till meat is tender.

From Caleb

Seriously,

This is the same way I cook deer. Take duck breasts and rub with kosher salt, black pepper(fresh ground is always better) and garlic. Put in zip loc bag. Completly submerge in olive oil(extra virgin is best). Leave in fridge overnight(2 days if its divers). Grill medium rare to medium(no bacon!). Eat!
I did this with teal, blue bills, ringers and pintails and it does not taste like duck at all! The best ive ever had. I will never cook it anyother way. My wife even liked it.

Deer Meat Cypress Inn Special

There's a restaurant on the river here in Tuscaloosa called Cypress Inn. Cool little locally owned establishment with a great view of the river. They have a dish called the Cypress Inn Special. I made it for dinner tonight with deer meat and thought that some of y'all might like to give it a go.

Make a good sized patty from ground deer meat, seasoning with Dale's, spices, salt & pepper - whatever floats your boat. Dice up a medium sized yellow onion. Put the patty (or patties if you are cooking for more than one) in a skillet along with the diced onions and cover. Cook over medium heat. You want to brown the patty all the way through, not skillet-fry it. The onions will cook down as well, making a bit of moisture in the skillet. Be sure to flip the patty to ensure even cooking.

While the patty is cooking, dice up a half of a green bell pepper and some tomatoes (I used 2 plum tomatoes). Also have a package of sliced mushrooms standing by (I used baby portobellos).

When the patty is nearly done, remove the cover to allow the moisture to cook out. Once the moisture is gone and the onions start to stick, remove the skillet from the heat and add the mushrooms, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Scrape off the top of the patty (still in the skillet) and cover it with shredded jack and chedder cheese. Replace the cover and keep it off the heat. The retained heat will melt the cheese in a couple of minutes, and it will just start to warm the veggies.

Once the cheese is melted, serve it up and enjoy. I had a side of brown rice with tonight's dinner.

Total prep & cook time was about 20 minutes.

TGI Friday's Jack Daniels Sauce:

I tried several batches of this TGI sauce. Ended up modifying the amounts a little, this was fairly similar.

This made around 1 -2 cups end result:

1/2 cup diced red onion, 1/4" pieces
1 tsp fine diced garlic
2 cups water
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup lawry's teriyaki sauce w/pineapple juice
1/3 cup kikkoman original soy sauce
1 cup welch's white grape juice
1/2 cup bourbon , add more to taste....
1 tsp tobasco sauce

also tried a batch with the addition of:

1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp black pepper
and it was my favorite so far. Plan to try pineapple juice instead of orange juice in the next go'round.

All batches were cooked until the onions were just right...... see through and non crispy,but not mushy, about 1 hour and 25 minutes, just below boiling in a tall 8" round pot (large saucepan reduced liquids to much).

Hey Capt how bout this Skwimp Ceviche?

Coonass Loaded Mashed Potatoes.

HOMEMADE WINE:

This is the basic recipe and can be multiplied for larger batches.
Important note, at no time allow the wine to touch any metal. No metal spoon, pot, bowl, calander.
For every gallon of fruit (fruit must be cut up) use one gallon of water, five pounds of sugar, and one pack of yeast. Try to find wine yeast, regular yeast can be used but wine yeast will give you much better results.

Combine cut fruit, water, sugar, and yeast into one container with a lid or cover of some sort and stir once a day for 21 days.
After the 21 days pour thru a plastic calander to remove the fruit, and let sit for another 21 days stiring once a day.
After the second set of 21 days pour thru cheese cloth repeatedly until nothing is being filtered out.
Next let sit for two months (do not stir). This will allow any remaining sediment to settle to the bottom.
After the two month settle time, syphon the wine off the sediment layer and bottle it.
Allow you wine to age before drinkink it. the longer it ages the smoother it will get. However some tend to age quicker than others. Pear, plum, and muscudine seem to be drinkable quicker than the rest 6-12 months. the rest 12-36 months.

Also during this whole process use steril equipment.

Fire Crackers

1 box of Saltine Crackers - (4 sleeves)
4/3 cup of Canola oil
1 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Packet dry ranch Dressing mix
1 2.5 gallon ZipLoc Bag

Directions
In the Ziploc bag add all of the ingredients except for the crackers.
Close up the ZipLoc Bag and mix ingredients well by shaking the bag.
Add all 4 sleeves of Saltine Crackers and close the bag.
Turn the bag over several times to coat crackers with the chile and oil mixture.
Let the bag rest for a couple of hours, turning the bag every 15 minutes or so.
If you can wait til the next day, they are even better. This is one you can make ahead of your party and it will keep really well

Best goose recipe on the planet.

A man could get laid with this recipe alone.

Shoot some geese. I figure 2 legs for a chick, 4 for a man, 6 for a hongry mofo.

Pluck the legs and cut the bone right above where the feathers end. Pop the hip socket loose and separate. Brine the legs in sea salt or kosher salt and brown sugar overnight.

Get some butter going in a deep skillet that can be covered. Use a lot of butter. Sprinkle a dash of salt and half a clove of garlic peeled and mashed.
Cook the legs on fairly high heat but not enough to burn the skin. You are rendering the fat out of the skin. When you've done both sides remove all the legs and set on a paper towel.
Drop the heat way down on the pan and add some white whine. Scour the bottom of the pan to mix all that pot likker in with the wine. Add some portabello shrooms, shallots or vidalia onions or both. Cook them down a little. Keep stirring.
Add the legs back in and cover with wine and a cup of water.
Cover the dish and put on a low simmer for 2-3 hours.
The stock that you are making will be one of the best you've ever had. You can drain some off for soup.
You can also drain some off mix in some cooking sherry and heavy cream and make a fantastic sauce.
I pick the legs and serve over long grain rice and basmati.
Pour the cream sauce over top.

You can also serve it in a bowl with some white beans and call it a goose confit cassoulet if she's snooty.

WestEndAngler's Mexican Spinach Dip

1 Pkg Frozen chopped Spinach thawed and squeezed dry
1 pkg Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/2 onion chopped
2 to 3 pickled jalapenos chopped
1 T Chili Powder
Cumin
Garlic Powder
1/4 C Sour Cream
8 oz or more of Mexican Cheese Blend grated (I usually use a whole bag )

This is off the top of my head.....I never measure the amounts....just do it by taste. Place mixture in a oven safe bowl or dish. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Serve with Frito Scoops or similiar chip.

2 Cans Rotel (I use mild just as to have a little more control over the heat)
1 can Tomato Sauce
1 Small can Tomato Paste
2 Large Onions Chopped (More of Less if you like or dont like)
8 Cloves of Garlic Chopped (more or less if you like or dont like)
2 Small Cleaned Gumbo Crabs (just for flavor)
2 Tablespoons of Roux
A little bit of Olive Oil

I use all kind of seafood when I make this. I usually put 3-4 lbs of seafood in it, I have used Shrimp, Scallops, Lump Crab Meat and just about any kind of fish you could think of.


In a black iron pot (Magnalite or any pot with a good thick bottom) put a little bit of olive oil and turn on Med High. When oil gets hot add onions and garlic (you can add a bell pepper or celery if you like this. Im not a fan of either) and brown, While onions are browning drain the water out of the Rotel. When the onions get brown add the Rotel to the pot and cook it down till it just starts sticking a little bit and all the liquid is gone. Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste and stir in. Add about 48 oz of water and stir in,(if your using fresh shrimp save the shells and boil the **** out of em and use that water after straining the shells out) then add the crabs. (I break them in half) Bring to boil and add roux and seasoning of your choice (I use Tonys or somehting like that) Let cook for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours stiring regularly. Add your seafood of choice (if its fish try to not stir it to much as it will break the fish up. Just pick the pot up and rotate it right to left to stir) cook till fish or seafood is done. Usually about 20 or 30 mins.

Serve over rice.

Serves 4-6

Stuffing:
1 lb. fresh shrimp (peeled and chopped)
2 cups finely chopped onion

Sautee the veggies and add a little spice to them as they cook. Remove from heat when they are soft and slightly browned. drain any liquid off.

Sautee the chopped shrimp in a little olive oil or butter until they are done. Drain any remaining liquid off.

In a big bowl crush all the ritz up leaving some in bigger chunks. Be sure to drain veggies and shrimp well before adding to crackers. It will turn to mush if you don't. Add in veggies and shrimp, a little cayenne and stir together.

Fold back the topside filet and fill cavity with stuffing. Fold top filets back over and bake at 350 for about an hour covered. Uncover and sprinkle a little spice over the top then back to the oven for 15 minutes or so till the top of the stuffing sticking out the center is a little crispy on top.
