Pheasant or Partridge Escabeche

Escabeche (es-kah-BECH-ay) is an ancient preparation historically used with fish or game birds, notably the Spanish red-legged partridge, which is a cousin of our chukars here. Basically you sear the birds and then souse them with a flavorful, vinegar-based sauce for a day or three. You can eat escabeche cold, warm or at room temperature, and I typically serve it as a room temperature, for a light dinner or lunch. If you don't have partridges, use pheasants, quail or grouse. Non-hunters out there, you can either buy quail or pheasants at the market (look in the freezer section) or use Cornish game hens, which are just a baby chickens. Not as flavorful, but easier to find. Could you use a full-sized chicken cut up? You bet.

Spanish Dove Salad

This is something of a pantry dish that comes together very rapidly if you have the ingredients on hand. The hardest part of putting this together is the garlic: I use my own preserved garlic, and if you have some use it -- it makes the dish. If you don't have any, roast a head of garlic instead. It's not the same, but it will get you close. Everything else in this recipe is easily available at supermarkets. If you don't have squab, pigeon or dove, use quail breasts. Quail will get you closest in terms of size and texture, although the flavor will be different.
