WOODIES

[CO CHISE 330]

im not realy the one for cooking game and always seem to give everything i catch away to the old timers that will seem to eat anything but i did a wood pigeon the other day and it was f*****g lovely, i only took the breast of and i put a spicy all seasons powder all over them, then i put it into fridge for night, next day i went fishing and took my little cooker with me and afew other bits to eat along with woody just incase i didnt like it, anyway i cooked some bacon then i cooked the woody in the bacon oil to medium rare, i then put it in apiece of pitter/nam bread if its spelt that way along with afew mushroom and it was absolutely lovely, better then most things ive tasted before, i do alot of pigeon shooting so from now on ile be keeping them all, any other good ways in cooking them ?

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.

 

its beautiful it actually rivals venison loin for taste and tenderness

i think ive always gave everything away through been abit of a lazy twat sorting them out but not from now on i had a hour this aftie and manage 7 pigeon and 3 crows but only 2 out of them been woodies and ive took the breast of them already, like you said they are a very nice meat, think ile be trying something different with these 2

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.

Try marinadeing in sloe gin, then pan fry or BBQ. You,ll love it!!

[Guest hyperion]

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!

 

cheers
