Recipe - Tarragon Dove

15 (up to)
20 Dove breasts
Lemon pepper
Dried tarragon
Sage
1 cup Chicken broth or stock
1/3 cn (12oz) frozen orange juice
concentrate
2 Apples; quartered
2 Onions; quartered
1 cup White wine
3 tablespoon Butter
3 tablespoon Flour

Place dove breasts in a 9x13 roasting pan, breasts up. Sprinkle liberally
with lemon pepper and lightly with tarragon and sage. Roast at 450ø for 10
minutes. Remove from oven and turn breasts down. Add chicken stock to pan
and spoon the orange juice over the dove breasts. Add apples and onions.
Seal with foil. Bake at 325ø for 30 minutes. Add wine, bake, resealed, for
another 30 minutes or until tender. Remove dove to platter briefly and
strain liquid into heavy saucepan. Return dove to pan and reseal to keep
warm (this can be done ahead). Reduce liquid over medium high heat to about
1One half cups. With back of spoon, mix butter and flour and drop little balls
of this into reduced liquid, stirring constantly until sauce thickens to
your liking. Spoon over breasts placed on platter or serving plates.
Cooking time for dove will naturally depend on the age and size of the
birds. They should be tender but short of falling off the bone. Yield: 10
to 12 servings.
