Cranfield Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 A nice simple one to try and it sounds deeeeeeelicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I do something very similar but add a load of cracked black pepper to the cream and let it reduce to make a mushroom and pepper sauce. Mmmmmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 To ponce it up a bit, try :- Fry of the pigeon with a little oil, remove and keep warm, deglaze with a splash of dry white wine, then add a healthy glug of Bicerin di Gianduiotto (or any choc liqueur) then blend in some cream and add the pigeon back into it. Pigeon goes extremely well with choc, try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 You could also try a brandy cream sauce. Finely chop 1 large mushroom and slice another. Finely chop two shallots and a clove of garlic if desired. Add the ingredients to a pan and fry gently till shallots are golden. Turn up the heat and pour in a splash of brandy. Allow brandy to flame and wait till flames die then reduce heat and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of creme fraiche. Allow sauce to cook and thicken then pour over cooked pigeon breast served on a bed of spinach with crushed new potatoes on the side.

pin Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Nice, I would brown the shallots first I find the mushroom will release the juice and boil the shallots rather than saute' them. Then add some reduced stock and take down to a few spoonfulls, finish it off with the brandy to richen it more and then stir in some cold butter to give it a nice gloss. Right, I am making something to eat now, drooling on the keyboard now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
