Hi just a quickie,

Ive just started to shoot wood pigeons and wondered what i should look for so i know that its safe to eat. Done a quick search but couldnt find anything sorry and thanks.

Split the skin across the breastbone and peel back. With a sharp knife, slice off each breast, or put thumb under bottom of the breast bone and rip the whole thing up and off. All the meat should be ok, just watch for lead etc.

If flash fried for 30 seconds each side, it tastes like a good steak. If cooked too much, then it tastes like liver.

I fried some nice bacon (not that crap from the supermarket) in butter until crispy then put my pigeon breast in and fried for about a minute a side (maybe more). Then made some toast and put some rocket leaves on it followed by the pigeon and bacon. Drizzled a little bit of the juices over it all and salt and pepper.

 

My little girl said "This is so nice it could be pudding"

 

and she was right!!!

I like the sound of that recipe with the bacon, my misses likes pigeon as much as i do but she prefers hers done as a stew in a slow cooker, served with herby dumplings done in an oven, and nice fresh crusty bread for any gravy left on the plate.
