Benn McIntyre 48 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 How's this then! Shot about 8am, on my plate for 1pm in my belly by 1.01pm bloody delicious! Pan fried the breasts and left to rest, made an orange zest and white wine reduction served with some rocket and watercress on a ciabatta. My first time eating woodies but definitely not the last. Was amazing, I would say on par with a decent medium rare fillet steak! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yep, Woodpigeon is up there with Woodcock and Partridge and yet you here of assholes dumping them. A few times I've had their breasts on the pan a half hour after shooting it and it can be like beef, that's why I like the sound of your other recipe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I need to make a biltong box before I begin trying to make any so will be a few weeks yet. Decided that this woodie was going to be lunch as soon as I spotted it in the oak! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only ever made beef biltong though but can't see why woodies wouldn't work well. Would be interesting to see the results. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 At least if you got sick of biltong you could have a sauna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, with the heat from one light bulb. Mind you it doubled up well for curing chorizo and salami. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,622 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 With how warm it is at the moment I finished my deer jerky off sun dried on a rack knocked up from hazel last Friday. I was surprised how quick it dried it. I suppose it was 2+ hours hickory cold smoked and then left over night in my smoker (no longer being smoked) and finished the following morning air dried for maybe 3-5 hours.

mushroom 12,352 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 What power is that bulb mate? I fancy having a go at making one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I can't remember, probably a 60 watt, but remember it's there for heat and a lot of bulbs nowadays are not incandescent type so other bulbs might not be quite so warm. You need a bit of airflow whilst trying to keep the flies out, hence the green mesh and the holes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
