Buffalo Pheasant Sandwich

Visit authors website | View more articlesYou may think cooking and recipes don’t have much to do with a website dedicated to hunting dogs ... but really, why do we hunt? Sure, we enjoy watching our dogs work in the field and being outdoors, but ultimately, hunting is about survival and feeding our families. We might as well try to do it well. I'm not a chef and definitely no food authority ... but I do like to eat and enjoy cooking. After searching for people willing to share their recipes on Gundog Central, without much success, I decided to try to do a few on my own, with my wife Tami's help. The recipes I share here are things I like to eat and have made here at home. I've tried to include step-by-step instructions with each meal describing exactly how I did it, but my method may not be best, if you decide to try a recipe posted here, please use whatever technique you think works best, I'm simply sharing how I did it. You'll see a lot of recipes where I've tried to make things from starch, when I could have just used store bought ingredients, simply because I wanted to learn how something was done. My goal is to continually update these recipes as I learn new things and techniques. These are my attempts at creating good, home cooked food, that I would like to eat! If I'm sharing it here, my family and I enjoyed it and I believe you will too.

These sandwiches make delicious after-hunt lunches. You can even prepare them in the field: Make the pesto at home and slice sandwich fixings ahead of time. Bring a camp stove to cook the breasts on the tailgate of your truck.

Spicy Pheasant Sandwich with Paprika Butter Sauce
I planted a bunch of cucumbers in my garden this year. I planted them, and they died, so I planted them again. Those also died, I believe it was my sixth attempt before I got any plants that survived long enough to be put into the ground. I'm not sure why they kept dying, but I started them early, moving them from inside the house to outside on warm sunny days, to back indoors to avoid the cool nights. Maybe it was the shock of going from inside to outside, over and over that killed them, or perhaps I just overwatered them. All this to say, I ended up with a truckload of really nice cucumbers. I had so many that I had to give a bunch of them away, but what I kept, I made into spicy pickles. Those spicy pickles are really the reason I decided to do this recipe, plus the fact that I had some left-over Brioche Buns from the previous recipe. I've always heard that Chick-Fil-A marinades their chicken in pickles juice, and they also serve pickles on their sandwich, so this fillet sandwiched seemed like a good recipe to try, as it let me use my spicy pickles two ways. Sometimes at work, they cater to Chick-Fil-A and it always seems like a treat. I personally like the spicy sandwich and wanted to create my own home version. This isn't meant to be a copy of their recipe, it was only used for inspiration. This is my Spicy Pheasant Fillet Sandwich with a Paprika Butter Sauce.
