Elevated Dove Poppers

Well, the dove hunting isn’t great this year - the drought has had its effects. My son and I did manage to get a few though recently. My son bought the new cookbook by Hank Shaw “Rabbit, Quail, Cottontail”

We chose a recipe that uses a chermoula marinade. It has olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, preserved lemon, garlic, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper. 


Dove breasts were then stuffed with a date and wrapped in bacon. I cooked these over direct heat at about 375°  



This wasn’t too bad y’all. Served with roasted potatoes, some okra, and roasted shishitos. 


Y’all have a great evening!

    Whoa! That looks incredible. We are covered up in dove right now for the first time since we bought the place. Im going to grab a few this week and will try this. 

    If you are looking for more dove, I know a guy :)

    Thanks y’all. I’m just happy the weather is cooling off a bit so I can enjoy cooking and hanging out in the kitchen. Glad to see all is well here on the forum.

    Awesome cook! Will have to try this- pretty good hunt this year and plenty of breasts in the freezer.  Thanks- looks delicious!  Just remember, like an old timer told me on one of my first dove hunts- don't shoot the females!
    2 then 1 Large, 2 then 1 Medium, and 1 Small !! Egging since 2013. God is good!

    Those look amazing! I have a few doves and quails that run around our neighborhood, I wonder if my neighbors would tell on me if I took the shotgun out.

    Great looking cook there.  We hunted doves by one of our power plants years ago.  They flew to the cooling tower basins in the evenings.  I used my Perazzi MX2005 trap gun because it had extra full chokes, and hit them hard with the handicap AA 7.5 trap loads! Fun times.

    Definitely a twist on traditional poppers. I had a good hunt this year but gave mine to a buddy. Those look great !!

    After today’s hunt I will not get to experiment.   7 of mine landed in the tank and couldn’t be retrieved.   🤦‍♂️
