Aye thats far too long. Pan fry to seal the meat and then maybe 5 mins in the oven. Take it out and let it sit for 5 mins too rest........... :thumbs:

For me, I fry them 2 1/2 mins a side in a hot pan, then let them rest for another 2 or 3 minutes.

They are pink in the middle and very tender.

Until a few years ago I was one for having any meat medium to well done, but now I feel like a proper grown up with medium rare lol.

Pigeon Schnitzels and a crispy cheese and leek bake.

 

First butterfly your pigeon breasts.

Tendorise the breasts and add a Schwarts all seasoning.

Next bread crumb the breasts and place in the fridge for at least half an hour.

Boil up some leeks and add a cheese sauce over them. Then cover the sauce with two packs of crisps crunched up.

Then cover the top of the crisps with grated mozzarella cheese and bake in a moderate oven till the cheese browns and crisps up on the top.

While the bake is in the oven, fry your schnitzels in a hot pan for a couple of minutes each side then serve with the cheese and leek bake.

Another way I like pigeon is to stuff the breasts with a garlic and herb stuffing cover in breadcrumbs and cook in the oven.

 

 

First off take your breasts and make a pocket in them with a small knife the pocket should be big enough to get your thumb in.

Once you have done that make the stuffing, I used two slices of wholemeal bread one medium red onion some fresh parsley, dried mixed herbs and three coves of garlic. Stuff the breasts with the stuffing mix.

Coat the stuffed breasts with seasoned flour dip in egg and coat with breadcrumbs.

I then sprayed the coated breasts with frylight then placed in a fan assisted oven for 30 minutes @ 175c turning after 20 minutes. If you use a normal oven leave in for a little longer.

The end result.
