That was so much fun! I went over to some non-hunting friends place and cooked them dinner, in their kitchen. Wouldn't let them in the kitchen, made them stay on the other side of the counter.
Baked taters, then diced up onion & peppers in the skillet with olive oil, also did a lot of skinless chicken in a skillet with olive oil, black pepper & garlic.... Mmmmm!
And in the last few minutes I put on four little antelope backstrap steaks... :mrgreen: Just cooked them lightly, rare/medium rare...
Served it all up with some decent red wine. These are good folks, but are not used to cooking with fresh meat and fresh veggies. Lots of canned & boxed food in their normal menu. I felt they needed a little inspiration. The meal took an hour, from the time I put the taters in the oven to the time I served. I was in the kitchen, busy the whole time, and conversation was animated. It was a great evening.
At the table, they both eyed the antelope steaks warily. She took small bites and enjoyed. He took one bite, then the entire backstrap steak vanished in seconds! He was delighted to learn there was one more, still warm, in the skillet! It vanished just as quickly.
Neither of them are anti-hunting, they just haven't done it themselves. They're looking for Hunters Safety courses now... :mrgreen: I did explain that we don't have antelope season in Washington, yet, but that we do have decent hunting for elk, whitetail, mulies and blacktail.
