Roast Squab Ok So It Is A Pigeon Recipe

Roast squab ok so it is a pigeon

From putercop 16 years ago

OK so squab is a young pigeon, do the city hall roof a favor, have dinner. Nice flavor, don't go ewwww til you try it.

rub squabs with lemon and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste
inside each squab place 2 small onions cut in hal
place in an uncovered casserole adding a pinch of rosemary, thyme and wine (again use a wine you would drink)
cook at 500 degrees F for 15 minutes
reduce heat to 350 degrees F
add the finely diced giblets and mushrooms.
As the wine evaporates add more to keep the bottom of the casserole moist while cooking.
Place a cover on the casserole and cook 20 minutes more. You may need to adjust the time a little depending on the size of the birds.
You can also sub small cornish game hens and adjust cooking time accordingly.
