Recipe - Gefuellte Tauben (Stuffed Pigeons)

4 Pigeons
100 g Butter (7 Tbsp)
1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon (level) minced onion
1 bn Parsley, chopped
80 g Raw bacon (3 oz), minced
1 Egg
A bit of lukewarm milk
1 teaspoon (level) marjoram
A bit of ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pn Sugar
1 Yellow turnip [substitute:
carrot], scraped

Combine the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, bacon, and sauteed minced onion into a
loose stuffing. Season with chopped parsley, marjoram, and the other
seasonings, as well as the pigeon giblets ( minced heart, liver, and peeled
stomach; the liver should be blanched to retain the flavor while keeping
the stuffing light in color.)

Stuff the pigeons and sew closed with cooking twine. Season the outside
with salt and pepper. Roast in buttered baking dish along with the scraped
yellow turnip. Baste frequently, with the pan juices.

Serve with different salads.

Serves 4.
