Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces dove breasts
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (optional)
Instructions
Start by rinsing the dove breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, salt, and paprika to create the marinade.
Place the dove breasts into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the dove breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours for maximum flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
If desired, thread the marinated dove breasts onto the soaked skewers. This helps with easier handling on the grill.
Place the dove breasts on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Avoid overcooking to keep the meat tender and juicy.
Once done, remove the dove breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the marinated grilled dove as is or alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
