blacktabs 3 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Are you resting them before eating or just serving straight away ive found resting any meat helps loads. But if they are old birds chuck them in the slow cooker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
events co-ordinator 353 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 If you are pan frying them they also need to be rare and rested I pan fry one side turn them over and finnish in the oven just foracouple of minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 They go great cut in strips and stir fried fried in a chinese sauce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bert the fert 28 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Pidge is often tough so when it comes my way, i generally turn it into paté. I did a nice one a while ago flavoured with black truffle. If you fancy a go, let me know and i'll try to find the recipe again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonathanKent 16 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I always pan fry them in a good extra virgin olive little oil over a high heat, once nicley browned on both side turn the heat off and immediatley with the residual heat of the pan pop in a the pan a large-ish knob of butter. de-glase the pan with the butter and baste the breast with the foaming melted butter. Its lovely served on grannery toast as a nice late supper. You can also, half way through cooking the pid add sliced mushrooms to the pan and add the butter as before give a beautifull flavour to the butter liquor and is also lovely on toast. Hope that helps ATB Jonno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can get 420g of mushy peas for 45 cent. Pigeon breast at its best. Bert the fert,you sound like an expensive cabbage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
