About this dish

Whole pigeons seared in clarified butter and then cooked slowly under a lid in Cognac, Riesling and game stock, until the meat comes away from the bone. The cooking liquid is strained, reduced and finished off the heat with sour cream, which turns the sauce ivory and velvety rather than dark. White grapes and a little of their syrup go in at the end, sweet and cool against the game. Mousseline mash and green beans with shallot come with it. Two whole pigeons for two, with the sauce, the mousseline mash and the beans packed separately.

Allergens: Milk

Freshness: Good for 4 days after delivery. Freezer-safe up to 3 months.

"First time I've had pigeon and I'm sold! The meat fell right off the bone and that sauce with grapes... heavenly. I might have wanted a bit more because it was so delicious, but the portion was just right for me. Definitely worth ordering again!"

"The pigeon was perfectly cooked and super tender. I might have preferred a few less grapes on the plate, just a matter of personal taste. But the meat truly melted in your mouth and the sauce was delicious. I recommend it to all food lovers!"
