DTS,

I'll try this recipe real soon. Today is opening day of Buck season
here in Pennsylvania (It's seems to be national holiday in this state), I didn't go hunting this year, but a couple of mybuddies tagged a buck. They usually give me a couple of roast, steaks, jerky, and pepperoni after there processed. Hope it's as good as the recipe sounds.

Saucon,
I hope you like it.
Here's one from the "Soul Food Cookbook". besides pork, it works with venison chops too.

Kenya's Smothered Pork Chops & Gravy


Ingredients:

1 package of pork chops
1/2 onion (chopped)
seasoned salt
pepper
2 cups flour
2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions:

Lightly salt and pepper chops and set aside.
Place flour in large bowl and lightly salt and pepper.
Coat the chops with the seasoned flour and set aside.
In large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil, until it sizzles when pinch of flour is added (about 5 or so minutes).
Add enough pork chops to fill, but not over fill pan.
Fry until brown on one side.
Then, turn and repeat frying until brown on other side.
Remove pork chops and all but about 3 teaspoons of oil (try to keep in pieces of the crust from frying).
Add the chopped onions to the oil.
Add about 5 teaspoons of the seasoned flour to pan.
Over reduced heat, brown the flour in the left-over oil and crust.
Add about a cup of water. Bring to boil.
Then, put fried chops back into pan with browned flour and water mixture, reduce and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, turning chops occasionally.
Let stand 10 minutes and serve.

I'll keep with the dessert theme. Give these "dream date" bars a try.
Worth the time.

Oatmeal Dream Dates


8 oz Pitted dates, coarsley
.. chopped
1 1/2 c Orange juice
2 1/2 c All purpose flour
1 1/2 c Firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 ts Salt; optional
1 1/2 c Butter; chilled
2 c Oats; quick or regular,
.. uncooked
1 1/2 c Flaked coconut; divided
1 c Chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium saucepan, combine dates and orange
juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer 15-20
minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat; cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in
oats, 1 cup coconut and muts; mix well. Reserve 4
cups mixture for topping; set aside.

Press remaining mixture onto bottom of an
ungreased 9x13x2" baking pan. Spread date mixture
evenly over crust to within 1/4" of edge. Sprinkle
with reserved oat mixture, then 1/2 cup coconut,
patting gently. Bake 35-40 minutes or until light
golden. Cool completely; cut into bars.

Makes 24 bars.

Potato Latkes

This is "Jewish Soul Food" ...good stuff!
I like mine simple...applesauce.
Try them!

8 medium potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion
Lemon juice
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 cup melted butter
Freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Watercress, to garnish
Caviar, to garnish
Applesauce, for garnish
Creme fraiche, for garnish

Grate potatoes and onions on a large-hole grater. Splash with lemon juice and squeeze out excess water.
Mix flour, milk, egg, baking powder, and nutmeg. Add to the potatoes and then add the melted butter.
Heat some peanut oil in a skillet and fry until golden on one side. Flip, and cook the same way on the other.
Serve with watercress, caviar, applesauce, and creme fraiche.
**For Passover, omit the baking powder and replace the flour with matzo (ground into flour), which will make a slightly denser latke. Fry it slowly.

As promised, a recipe that works for most rodents. Next time you spot a clobbered bunny on the side of the road, pick it up! No need to donate Bugs to the crows.
You can do this in the microwave, but if you bake it instead, try 325 for about an hour and a half.
Beaver and muskrats are also good this way.

Rabbit in White Wine Sauce
1 lg. rabbit, cut in pieces
3 T. butter
1 onion, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
2 celery stalks, diced
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1 c. chicken bouillon
2 T. vinegar
1/2 c. dry white wine
1/4 c. sour cream
salt and pepper

In a 2 qt. casserole, micro-
wave butter 1 min., on high, to melt. Stir in onion, carrot and celery to coat. Microwave on high 2 mins.

In separate bowl, thoroughly mix salt, pepper, thyme, marjoram, bouillon, vinegar and wine.

Place rabbit pieces on top of vegetable mixture. Pour wine seasoning mixture over both. Cover and micro on high 5 mins.

Microwave on bake or 60% for 7 mins. Stir. Microwave on bake 5 mins. more. Stir in sour cream. Microwave on bake for 5 mins. to complete.

Serve over buttered noodles.

Here's one you might like. Scottish "soul food".
If you can't come up with a sheep, goat will do...but then it will be Greek "soul food". Also works for deer.

Here's a recipe for the beloved Haggis of Scotland. In addition to the other naughty (read "delectable") bits, the lungs are traditionally included in Scotland, but are omitted here as it's illegal to sell lungs in the U.S. (Any clues as to why, anybody?). Some folks also think that liver shouldn't be used ..."



1 sheep's lung (illegal in the U.S.; may be omitted if not available)
1 sheep's stomach
1 sheep heart
1 sheep liver
1/2 lb fresh suet (kidney leaf fat is preferred)
3/4 cup oatmeal (the ground type, NOT the Quaker Oats type!)
3 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup stock
Wash lungs and stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing.
Cover heart and liver with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking.

Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting. Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon. Ceremoniously served with "neeps, tatties and nips" -- mashed turnips, mashed potatoes, nips of whiskey.
