[Z7_Matt]

I have had chicken gizzards before but not dove. Anyone have advice on cooking them?

My wife wraps the doves in bacon and mixes a package of mushroom gravy. Bake till done. She throws the hearts & gizzards in the mix to cook.

that is the first thing I spoon on my rice.

Boil them in a pot and make dumplings with them. Very good! Just make sure to simmer them for a while so they will be soft.

The only way I have ever had dove hearts is raw.

I saute them in butter and tony's.

I keep the dove hearts and gizzards, saute them and add to risotto, rice, etc. with lots of butter and parmesan. Here's a video on how to clean the gizzard:

The guy in the video has a pretty good cookbook, by the way called Hunt, Gather, Cook. Hank Shaw.

I've cooked redhead and pintail gizzards, but they are much larger and tougher.

I also highly recommend Jesse Griffiths' book, AFIELD

I feed them to my dog as a reward at the end of the day. He just stands there and waits for the treat while we are cleaning the birds.

This is the best way, fried or sautéed in a pan will work too.

I fry them up with onions, garlic, salt and black pepper and serve it over rice.

Buddy of mine uses this Jerk seasoning it's pretty spicy but tasty.

When I was younger and we kept them, mom would just fry them whe she fried the dove breasts.
