here is a recipe for pigeon pate I have cooked many times.

pigeon pate

 

Breast meat of 6 - 7 pigeons

8 ozs sausage meat

Quarter pint of stock

1 teaspoon mixed herbs

Salt and pepper

Marinade Ingredients

Quarter pint red wine

1 onion finely chopped

2 teaspoons mixed herbs

Bay leaf

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Method: Put the pigeon and all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Mix well, cover, and shove in the fridge for a couple of days.

Put the pigeon with the marinade and stock in a saucepan and simmer gently for an hour. Drain and mince the meat. Mix with the sausage meat, herbs, salt and pepper, and enough of the stock to make a smooth moist mixture. Put the mixture into an ovenproof dish that has been buttered, cover, and stick into the oven at 180 degrees for an hour and a half.
