We are in the planning stages for a wild game dinner for around 100 people. I anticipate this will be a buffet, and those attending will sample the varieties of game contibuted by the hunters that took the game this hunting season. This will not be a bunch of freezer burned road kill, but will be game that has been well taken care of in the field.
We will have the following game varieties:
Pheasant
Chukar
Quail
Doves
Ducks and geese, best wild varieties (no gumbo only species
Venison, all cuts from backstrap to whole shoulders and hams
Sandhill crane
Feral hog (sows only, please)
Javelina (also sows only)
I have hosted these wild game dinners several times in past years. The best was catered by an oriental restaurant that did an outstanding job. What I am looking for are some recipes for each of the species. I am aware that true wild game, for the most part, is very lean and does not do well when overcooked. I would like your help with some recipes that can be served buffet style so the diners can sample a number of dishes. Thank you in advance for your input.
