Denboy Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 hi guys and gals I've start bagging a fair amount of pigeon and was wondering is it ok to eat the breasts with pellet holes in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geth25182889 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 i do mate. they taste just the same. i tend to dice them up and stick them in a casserole or pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denboy Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ok cool I'm going to try different things with them as all I do is shallow fry them which is still nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I made some curried pigeon pasties on sunday, quite nice but the recipe needs abit of tweaking to make it perfect. The only pigeon breasts i don't eat are the ones that have been minced up completley by shot, they usually go to the ferrets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I normally shallow fry my pigeon breasts for a few minutes and let them rest for a few. Then have them along with roasties and pepper sauce. I find that pigeon breasts cooked like this (medium/rare) is very like fillet steak.

Yes I find it's like steak as well just I don't really like de breasting them!!! I just tell myself to man up and get on with it lol I made some curried pigeon pasties on sunday, quite nice but the recipe needs abit of tweaking to make it perfect.

Might have to try this it sounds nice I'm not one for cooking but there's nothing better then hunting your own food and eating it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Pigeon breast quickly fried with some garlic salt and pepper and then put on a slice of toast goes down very well for breakfast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slated Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 As long as the hole goes right though, either flash fried and a splash of port, or long and slow in stew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
