Zuppa Toscana with Pheasant
Olive Garden has a Zuppa Toscana on their menu, I highly recommend it, if you find yourself in their restaurant. It's my favorite soup!! I could eat this every single day. If I make it at home and there are any leftovers, I'll eat for lunch and supper the next day and the day after, if there is still any left. Both versions posted on the site, version1 or version 2, are based on the Olive Garden version of the soup. Either version is equally as good, with just subtle differences. I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this soup. Serve it with some crusty white bread and shaved Parmesan cheese.

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.

Pheasant Bolognese with Kale and Parmesan
If you read my last recipe post, the one about Smoked Chukar White Lasagna, you'll know that I've been blessed with an abundance of Kale in my little backyard garden this year. This Pheasant Bolognese with Kale and Parmesan recipe, is just another way that I found to deal my little Kale problem. This is just one of several recipes that I've made or have plans to make that will feature my backyard Kale. My little backyard garden is overrun with the stuff and it's growing faster than I can use it. While this recipe might have been posted as a way to deal with my Kale, it's really inspired by a Chicken Bolognese that my wife made a few months ago. She's a pasta freak, she absolutely loves it!! I think I've written about it before in another recipe post. Any way ... my wife made a Bolognese one night after work, she said she wanted to try something different, other than her regular, go to pasta dishes like Pasta Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe and Bucatini Allamatriciana. Let me tell you, it was freaking AMAZING!!! She knocked it out of the park when she made it! It was so freaking good ... I knew I wanted to try something like it for Gundog Central. You'll be disappointed to learn that the recipe I'm posting here, isn't a copy of her recipe!!
Pheasant Fricassee with Dried Kale Flakes
If youve kept up with the last few recipes Ive posted, youll know that Ive been trying to come up with a few recipes to deal with my self-inflicted, backyard Kale problem. It has been out of control and overgrown in my little raised garden beds, growing faster than I could use it. The summer heat has stifled its growth some and the bugs have pretty much destroyed whats left, it looks like someone shot the leaves up with a shotgun, there are so many holes them. Ive sprayed and sprayed insecticide, trying to kill the bugs, but they still seem to have the upper hand. So, this will be the last Kale recipe that Ill be posting for a while. It may even be debatable that this recipe be considered a Kale recipe. What I did for this recipe, was to dehydrate my kale, with a little olive oil and salt, then crushed it to use like a kale pepper garnish, to sprinkle over the top of this Pheasant Fricassee, just finish it up after cooking. This dehydrated Kale was so good though, I was literally eating it by the spoonful, straight out of the bag I crushed it in.
