henry d Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Remove the breasts, cut a "pocket" in them and put 1 tsp of boursin cheese and a few fresh thyme leaves in. Wrap with streaky bacon or pancetta and secure with cocktail stick. Pan fry until browned then put in low oven to rest for 5-10 mins. Serve with savoury vegetable rice and deglaze the pan with white wine and a dollop of single cream and some chopped thyme or parsley.

Henry, d'you reckon that'll work with pigeon breast too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 With a dark meat like woodpigeon I would use something like a pate inside it, but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I can vouch that the Boursin does work but you need to make a fairly light sauce which only the rottie knows how to and she has the hump tonight :blink: LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nial Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 With a dark meat like woodpigeon I would use something like a pate inside it, but you never know OK, the wife's away in that London tomorrow night, so I'm having pigeon for dinner. If you were going to wrap it in bacon would you not need something a bit lighter to stuff the pigeon breasts (like Boursin?) Pate seems very rich for a dark meat and bacon. I could always try haggis in one of them (there's some in the fridge). Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I could always try haggis in one of them (there's some in the fridge). Nial. Sounds good, what about ditching the bacon and coating with flour/egg/oatmeal ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nial Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sounds good, what about ditching the bacon and coating with flour/egg/oatmeal ?? I might try that on one. I had 4 in a zreezer bag that are defrosting so I've time to experiment. You don't think the haggis would be too rich? Nial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 What have you got to lose-v-what you have to gain ?? Give it a whirl..........if you don`t like it all you`ve lost is a pigeon breast and I`m sure you`ll get many more and if it is good then game on!!
