They have a gamy flavor that no amount of gravy can hide.

1. Try braising them with a generous amount of juniper berries.
That'll take the gaminess right out. :thumbsup:

19. well, the kid is back to school
after his two week break, so I am catching up on some work and a bit of browsing. I was ready for a bit of peace and quiet.

5. Slow cooked in a crock pot is the way to go.
The sweetness of Fennel Seed will take out that gamy taste.

but anise would do in a pinch. A good cook should know how to substitute if need be. ;-)

9. Garlic and olive oil cover up all gamy taste.
Of course, then you and all your excretions will smell like garlic for the next couple of days.

10. Feed them in a cage until ripe first
But don't, I repeat, DON'T turn your back on them to check the oven temperature before roasting.

12. I've only ever gotten them at the grocery store
Does cage feeding change the flavor?

And if you pan fry, don't use bread crumbs as batter. Little buggers can be pretty sneaky with those.

15. A white sauce with some fresh dill works pretty well...

And, try to get the ones raised on organic food -- WAY better.
