Pigeon Jerky

[rowen]

Has anyone tried this and have you got any tips for a marinade?

Thanks, Russ

would be ideal for drying as it is very low fat. Marinating has no hard or fast rules. I would experiment with soya sauce, dried garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, ect.

Theres a couple of pigeons in the game larder - whats the next step after marinating, I guess drying off in a low oven?

What I normally do is cut the meat into 1 inch strips and place it in a pre-heated oven at the highest setting for a couple of minutes, i then turn the oven down to its lowest setting and cook until completely dried checking often to make sure its not burning, the last jerky we made was from ox heart which I took to the super sausage everyone said they enjoyed it but could not tell which cut it was, so ox heart is worth trying let us know how it turns out

I used a dehydrator and my first attempt has turned out ok, tastes a bit like liver though, I think i will add a lot more chilli next time. I'll keep my eye out for ox heart at the supermarket and give that a go next, thanks for the advice.
