Preparation time: 5 minutes. Cook time: 1½ hours.

Ingredients:

8 doves, cleaned and picked
3 Tbsp. olive oil or bacon drippings, plus ½ c. olive oil (reserved)
½ c. sherry or dry red wine
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp. salt

Warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil or bacon drippings in a heavy iron skillet. Add doves and brown on all sides, turning to ensure even heat.

Serve with brown or wild rice.
