WILD GAME COOKERY: Feral hogs…and quail…and ducks… oh my …we explain ahead on Passport to Texas This is Passport to Texas (September 1) Summer temperatures are still taunting us—but fall hunting season starts this month, and with it opportunities to cook wild game. For five years Texas Parks and Wildlife’s worked with Central Market Cooking Schools to offer statewide, hands-on public cooking classes featuring preparation of wild game and fish at home. A TPW representative is always on hand to provide attendees with background on the agency, conservation, and information about the species on their plates. Everyone loves bacon wrapped dove breasts on the grill, fish tacos, or venison in a slow cooker in Italian dressing. But it’s nice to have new recipes to put the “wow” in your next wild game and fish dinner. In past classes attendees learned how to make Venison Medallions with Juniper-Black Pepper Brandy Sauce, Pot Roasted Pheasant with Cider and Bacon; Vietnamese style baked Snapper; and Braised Rabbit with Wild Mushrooms, to name a few. Folks who register for the Tuesday, September 13, TPW & Central Market Wild Game Cooking Class will prepare and eat Wild Boar Sausage Patties; Quail with Wild Rice Pilaf; and Duck Gumbo. Perfect fall foods-even if it still feels like summer. Find registration information at passporttotexas.org. For Texas Parks and Wildlife, I’m Cecilia Nasti.
