I used mostly ring neck doves for this one but there are a couple of woodies in it as well.
I put them in Greek yoghurt over night in the fridge and then marinated them as of this morning in olive oil and spices. I then made a bowl full of Tzatziki and got a French loaf, lit the BBQ and tried to cremate the breasts. The result was rather nice I think.

take of the crowns and marinate for an our in guiness worchester sauce and chille powder and hot water smoke then eat straight away or allow to cool remove each breast from the centre bone and warm through in red currant jelly and red wine salt and pepper.

:notworthy: its beautiful it actually rivals venison loin for taste and tenderness

Cut very thin slices of breast meat and stir-fry for a couple of minutes with some added soy sauce and vegetables......!

Ive cooked pigeon breast with my scout troop on a survival skills camp i ran for them and we cooked them on the fire with wild garlic and fennel they were lovely the scouts enjoyed them too. We also cooked rabbit on spit over the camp fire and that went down well too.

take the breast meat off and roll in salt and black pepper then pan fry with some mushrooms onions and bacon lardons

while thats cooking gently heat a large glass of port in a shallow frying pan and as it warms up crumble in some good stilton until it thickens a bit stirring all the time

plate up the pigeon

stir a bit of red currant or quince jelly into the port and stilton and pour over the pigeon

instant gout! :tongue2:

cheers
