This comes from cookitsimply.com. The sauce is absolutely gorgeous! I added a dash of lemon juice before cooking this in a tagine, in the oven (2+ hours @ 325f) - perfect! The recipe says to cook it in a pan on the hob so feel free to do it that way!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

50g butter
100g smoked bacon lardons or chopped smoked bacon
2 slices white sourdough
2 pigeon breasts
50g chestnut or wild mushrooms , sliced
200g spinach
1 tbsp red wine or sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat half the butter in a large frying pan, then fry the bacon for 5 mins until starting to crisp. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Fry the bread in any leftover bacon fat for 1 min on each side until crisp and golden, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Season the pigeon generously with salt and pepper, and heat the remaining butter in the pan until sizzling. Sear the pigeon for 2-3 mins on each side until golden, then transfer to a chopping board and leave to rest.
  • Return the fried bacon to the pan and turn up the heat. Scatter over the mushrooms and fry for 3-4 mins until softened, then add the spinach, season and splash in the vinegar. Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry until the spinach is wilted. Divide the spinach mixture between the fried bread slices. Finely slice the pigeon breasts, arrange over the spinach and serve.
