recipe for pigeon breasts
Hi Guys
I'm looking for your recipes to cook/braai/fry pigeon breasts in the field. I usually go shooting with my mates who don't ever eat the birds (they give them all away to the local populace) and would like to get a few good recipes that I can use to entice them into eating some what we've shot.

Re: recipe for pigeon breasts
Hmmm....
I can recall a recipe in Magnum a while back that advocated the use of bacon to wrap the breasts (never thought I'd use that word on GS, but hey... hurhurhur) in, marinade it a bit & then braai lightly. Like venison, it dries out rikitik on the flames.
Maybe some of the other, more 'in touch' members can enlighten us, e.g. dhignett & his venison recipe book...??

Re: recipe for pigeon breasts
You need:
olive oil
lemon juice
origanum
garlick
salt & pepper
seasoned breadcrumbs
egg
sunflower oil
- Marinade the breasts in olive oil, lemon juice, origanum and just a little garlick.
- Let the breasts lie in the marinade (in the fridge) for 3-4 days. It is best to use a glass bowl - don't use a metal one.
- Remove the breasts from the marinade and season with salt & pepper
- Dip the breasts in beaten egg then roll in the breadcrumbs until nicely coated
- Fry in a little sunflower oil

Preacher,
it seems that most of the recipes needs preparation at home; maybe a coolerbox in the bakkie can hold your muti, then after the shoot you can make the fire & make the food??Prone to random kindness, lecherous behaviour, imitating D-cups at speed and an outstanding sense of humour.

Re: recipe for pigeon breasts
Depends on how close I can lure them hpy71
I've been known to collect 2 birds to a box at times (beginning of season) and at others 15-18 per box of ammo.
I generally use #5 32gram and although my hit rate seems a bit lower than #6's or #7's I find that I kill them 'dead in the air' making it simple to mark the spot they go down in for a successful retrieve. My friends and I have a simple system of calculating 'hit rate' - we just divide the number of empty cases by the number of birds in the bag making it very important to recover the birds - we don't leave 'doppies' in the field at all and ensure that our 'retrievers' collect all the cases and empty boxes.
