Skewered Dove Breasts

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

2. Place the fresh dove breasts in a shallow dish or plastic bag, then pour the marinade over them, ensuring each breast is well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, allowing the meat to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours.

3. Once the dove breasts have marinated, it's time to skewer them for grilling. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

4. Thread the marinated dove breasts onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are secure and evenly spaced.

5. Grill the skewered dove breasts over medium-high heat, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade.

6. Once the dove breasts are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

7. Serve the Skewered Dove Breasts hot off the grill, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Pair with roasted vegetables or a light salad.
