we will use Venison here. STA FA TA 1 lb Venison stew meat or roast

rest of the ingrediants. Simmer until slightly reduced and thickened.

This recipe actually was a Texas chili cookoff winner about 35
years ago. It remains to this day my favorite chili recipe of all
time. made with Beef, Buffalo, or Venison it is a hit! Bowl of "RED"

Refried Beans 2 Tbs minced Garlic 2 151/2 oz cans Tomato Sauce 1
Tsp Salt 1 Tbs Cumin 2 Tbs chili Powder Cayanne Pepper (you decide
how much) Brown meat and toward the end add roughly chopped onion.
Cook until meat is finished browning, drain. Add meat and all ingrediants
to stockpot. Rub or grind the spices to release oils. Simmer about
2 hours test flavor and adjust seasonings as necessary. Best with
a little shredded cheddar and a touch of sour cream.
Don't be scared off by that fancy word "scallopini" they
are just little cutlets (kind of like bluegill fillets). TURKEY

Coconut Catfish 4 4-6 oz Catfsh Fillets I know it sounds weird!

Cup Flour 1/2 Cup Cornmeal !/4 Cup Shredded Coconut Oil Pepper Heat
oil, dip fillets in flour then egg then cornmeal/coconut mix. Fry

I learned this technique in Culinary school it is called "Fish
en Papillote" or "Fish in Paper". You guys can really
wow the girls with this one! 2 6-8 oz fillets (Salmon, Walleye.
Notrhern) 2 Tablespoons Butter 1 Lemon Pepper Small Onion Cooking
spray Parchment Paper Cut a 12'' circle out of the paper. Spray
with cooking spray. Set fish off center towards you. Sprinkle with
pepper. Place a generous slice of onion and a slice of lemon on
top. Fold the paper over and crease it in one inch intervals so
it is very well sealed. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375
for about 15 minutes. Plate up and cut open at the table.
The Simple Way to Lard a Venison Roast Forget larding needles and
all that time consuming stuff, don't drape bacon over it the fat
just runs off! Try this: Cut 4-6 slices of bacon in half. Cut one
end of each slice into a point (like a Muzzy Broadhead) Freeze the
bacon solid. When it is frozen take the roast and about every 2-3
inches jam a sharp broad knife, such as a Chefs knife, deep into
the roast. Slide the frozen bacon piece into the cut. Bake as usual.
Moist and tasty!
