"During many centuries, pigeons were one of the most sought after and worshiped dishes by the European nobility although during the last few years we hardly find them in menus, and it is a shame, because they are delicious"
- A cociña do Verán -
"The lobster of the birds", the Romans called it...
"And a pigeon or so extra on Sundays" said Cervantes in Don Quixote…
Even Philippe IV had them cooked by Francisco Montiño, his main cooker...
Nest pigeons
They are the pigeons that we collect when they are still in their nests, they are fed only with the food given by their parents and they have an approximate age of one month.
We recommend serving them stewed or cooked and they are ideal to go with rice and any other vegetables dish. |
