Pigeons Rôtis

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare the pigeons by removing their innards without bleeding them.

  3. Wrap the pigeons in bacon and secure them with string.

  4. Roast the pigeons in the oven, basting occasionally with melted lard.

  5. After 15 minutes, serve with a squeeze of lemon.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
