Personal Notes:
Willy Dairy was our family cook for 35 years. She was truly a part of our family, a wonderful and beautiful person as well as a great cook. She was always being challenged to come up with recipes for all the wild game that we brought home from our hunting trips. I particularly loved this dove recipe for Dove and Whitewing. I quite literally have eaten hundreds and hundreds of them. It’s pretty simple and straight forward. I discovered that people that really don’t like dove loved this recipe.

As a side note this recipe doesn’t work very well if the dove have no skin on them. When I shoot dove I always plucked them so that I can make this recipe.
