I processed a few birds last Sunday morning.

Image

Duck, Pheasant, Partridge, and Woodpigeon.

I made a democratic decision that we would have Woodpigeon for dinner that tonight.

Image

Using a sharp, pointy knife, cut a pocket into the thick side of each breast.

Image

Image

Cover with cling film.

Image

and use a rolling pin to bash them flat.

Image
Image

This allows them to cook quickly.

Next, garlic and herb cream cheese.

Image

A small teaspoon of cheese in each breast.

Image

Beaten egg, cornflower, breadcrumbs.

Image

Dust each breast in flour, dip in the egg, then into the crumb.

Image

Butter and olive oil in a pan, and lightly fry the breasts, until golden.

Image

Image

Washed down with Ruddles Best.

Image

Woodpigeon cooked like this will rival any gamebird, IMO.

Lots of Brownie points from SWMBO.


Steve.
Enjoy Your Shooting

Steve,
That is my kind of recipe for the best eating bird of them all no fancy restaurant type dish just plain cooking.

My favourite is pan fried in garlic butter and straight into a morning roll, and a close second is the same as your recipe but with a small amount of apricot fromage frais mixed through the soft cheese.
