Javalina Tenders
IMG_8804.jpeg

I thought Javalina was pretty much inedible?

This was a sow. Didn’t smell like a skunk, so we tried it.
Jay seasoned and marinated it. Froze it and then, when thawed, wrapped it in bacon and smoked it. We chopped it up and finished it on the griddle with jalapeño & onions. It was awesome!
The tenders wrapped in bacon were the best I’ve ever had!
Jalapeño/Heart/Macon Popper was amazing as well!

Well that’s good to know. Apparently they are everywhere around here

Shoot a sow or young one.
The only Javalina I’ve ever shot and tried before Jay’s was a big boar. Absolutely inedible.

This. Shoot a sow, that doesn’t stink… when the meat is good, it smells like dove meat. Which begs to be paired with bacon and jalapeños.

The meat is very lean and has a lot of connective tissue. Bacon adds some fat. Stripping the meat off the bone and slicing it thin helps with tenderness. I smoked it to 160, let it rest, we sliced it up, chopped the bacon up, and finished on the griddle. Javelina is edible.. if everything works out right.

Thanks guys, good info! Might have to take a few and experiment. There’s a Bkackstone Grill in my near future and Javalina Tacos seems appropriate for a break-in

Beans and corn bread. Jiffy mix. Because those who win wars get to write not only history, but recipes.

Can of corn beef hash on toast.
The bread was getting stale so had to do something with it.

Louisiana Grills kamado grill with Bayou Classic lump charcoal.

First time trying this brand lump charcoal. It's some of the best I've used - very large pieces of hardwood and great flavor.

Thanks. We want to grill more this summer. Including more fish. We get so much wind on this ridge, it's hard to keep a propane grill hot. Thinking of getting a charcoal grill again.

Jay prepared another smorgasbord of goodness!
