Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 3Pigeons, 450 g/1 lb. each
- 200 g (7 oz.) butter
- 50 g (2 oz.) Black Truffles
- 1 egg yolk
- 150 ml (10 tbsp.) chicken stock
- 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) truffle juice
- salt and pepper
Method
- Singe and clean the pigeons; cut off the wing tips and the neck flush with the body. Remove the wings and legs from the carcass. Though this is a relatively easy task, you could ask your poultry seller to do it for you.
- Heat some butter in a large sauté pan and add the pigeon pieces, skin side down. Brown them gently on all sides, then transfer to a 220° F (440° F) oven for 8 minutes. Set the legs aside in a warm place.
- Brush the wings with egg yolk.
- Roll each piece in the truffles which have been very finely chopped.
- Press firmly so the truffles adhere well and return to the dry pan for 1 minute.
- Reduce the truffle juice by half and add the chicken stock.
- Reduce by half again and whisk in the remaining butter.
- Arrange the wings and legs on a platter; correct the seasoning of the sauce and spoon it over top.
