Thread: Pukeko question

This is how I breast pukeko:

Place a foot on each leg, so your boot covers the whole leg, bend down and take hold of the bird at the base of each wing as close to the body as possible, then stand up pulling until the breast pulls away with the wings

I just cook the breast to a med rare (max) and season to taste with salt & peper. Then I eat it like steak or dice it and throw it in a burger.

I've never bothered with the legs but hank shaw an american chef who specializes in game meat has a pretty good sounding recipe:
