Bresse pigeon over creamy rice with a purée of pears in wine
Ingredients:
2 pigeons
200 gr of rice
100 ml of cream
Meat stock
Pear purée
First of all, we’ll show you our secret for the meat stock and mashed potato recipe.
- Meat stock
1 onion
1 leek
2 carrots
The bones of 2 pigeons
1 bottle of red wine
1 L of water
In order to cook up a good meat stock, sauté all the vegetables. Once the vegetables are sautéed, add the toasted pigeon bones. Add the red wine and reduce to ¾. Then, add the water.
- Pear purée
2 conference pears
50 g of sugar
400 ml of red wine

Recipe:
Clean the pigeon and remove the legs and wings, which we then cook in red wine. Meanwhile, sear the breasts on the grill. With the meat juice from the pigeon carcass and a little cream, prepare a creamy rice to use as a base for the pigeon.
On the other hand, make a pear purée cooked in red wine. When serving, place the rice as a base, the grilled breasts on top and bake for one minute. The right thing to do is to place the wings and thighs on each side, and a drop of pear purée next to them. And enjoy!
The winter dishes are filling and full of flavour. In our restaurant through our dishes, as well as flavour, we like to convey sensations, experiences and moments… That’s why, we place a varied menu at your disposal so you can choose the experience you most fancy at any time.
