Smoked Crane Breast

Our clients from our January 2021 From Field To Table event prepared this dish as our main course. It was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. Crane has the texture of steak and needs to be cooked rare to medium rare at the very most.

Not only is it amazingly delicious but also very easy to prepare. We paired with zucchini noodles and candied beets.

We will be posting more Sandhill Crane and waterfowl recipes from this event soon.
