Zucchini Marinara
Dice onion and mince carrots and garlic.
Chop squash and basil and oregano. I used tatume squash since it is less susceptible to the squash vine borer.
One can of crushed tomatoes.
Saute onion, garlic and carrots. Once softened add 1 lb venison (or beef) and season with salt and pepper. Once the meat is cooked through, add squash, herbs and tomatoes.
Cook through until squash is softened and sauce thickens.
Add tomato paste to get desired thickness.
Cook spaghetti noodles separately and add to sauce.
Lamb and Venison Patties with Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Chop onions, bell peppers. Mince carrots and garlic.
Saute veggies in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Start with 1 lb each lamb and venison
Add 2 eggs and ketchup. I used whataburger spicy ketchup this time.
Crush saltines, add salt and pepper
Add sautéed veggies and mix all ingredients.
Cook to desired doneness on med-high heat.
Large chop sweet potatoes
Mix with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Cook in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Serve patties and sweet potatoes with butter-balsamic green beans.
Roast Duck & Squash Blossom Quesadillas
Quesadillas are one of my go-to meals. You can use any veggies you have in the garden (or fridge) and any leftover meat.
Saute onions, squash, mushrooms and garlic. Once these are softened, add chopped squash blossoms and smoked duck. We pre-smoke several ducks at a time and freeze ready-to-eat packages.
Put tortilla in non-greased, nonstick pan on med-high heat. Layer cheese, meat/veggie mixture, and a second layer of cheese. Cook each side until golden brown.
Serve with your choice of salsa.
