I tend to prefer to marinade it in a good mesquite flavored sauce and then grill it but then again I prefer to do that with most meat.

I like to boil or pressure cook for a while until tender and then batter with flour and fry up.

I also like crock potting with vegtable soup.

Cut it up into small chunks, par boil it then cook it in a pot pie with potatoes, carrots, and celery. Yummy. Works great with rabbits also. Can also make stew in the crock pot. Either way will tenderize them quite nicely.
