Pigeon breast

Pigeon is a real delicacy. It has a refined gamey taste that is not comparable to other poultry. A wild pigeon can be recognized by its compact dark red meat and has a more pronounced taste and smell than a tame pigeon. In this recipe we used wild pigeon and it is served with white curry cabbage and a jus of apple syrup. But you can make it as crazy as you want. For example, you can also serve the pigeon breast with truffle and Parma ham, figs or with sauerkraut. What do you serve with the sous vide pigeon breast?

Ingredients:

• 1 white cabbage
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 onions
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• 4 pigeon breasts
• 200 ml game stock
• 1 tbsp cognac
• 4 tbsp apple syrup
• 10 ml oil

Preparation:

1. Get everything ready: Take a pan or sous vide container and fill it with warm water. Set the sous vide device to 56 °C and let the water heat up.
2. Season: Season the pigeon breast with salt and pepper. Put the pigeon breast together with some olive oil in the sous vide bags or vacuum it with a vacuum machine. Place the sous vide bag in the water bath and set the timer to 25 minutes.
3. Prepare cabbage: Cut the cabbage into thin strips. Chop one onion. Fry the onion with the curry and ginger powder. When the onion is translucent, add the cabbage. Add 50 ml of water and stir continuously. Put the lid on the pan and let it stew for 25 minutes.
4. Prepare the gravy: Finely chop one onion and one clove of garlic and fry them in a saucepan. Deglaze with cognac and then the game stock. Add the apple syrup and let it reduce slightly. Stir everything until it becomes a smooth sauce.
5. Finish the dish: When the timer has gone off, remove the pigeon breast from the sous vide bag and pat it dry with a cloth. Heat a pan with oil and fry the pigeon breast briefly until golden brown. Place the curry in the middle of the plate. Place the pigeon breast on top and pour the gravy over the pigeon breast.
