ANJOU SQUAB PIGEON
LE PIGEONNEAU DES GOURMETS - Oven Ready
Raised on corn grain and wheat in Plounéour-Ménez, in the Monts d'Arrée, in Western Brittany, the Hubbell breed Squab pigeon is very much considered a 'luxury' poultry and a firm favourite among Michelin-starred restaurants.
The Squab still has its blood within to intensify the flavour and colour of the meat. However, when we vacuum-pack the birds before shipping, some of the blood may be drawn out during transit. Although the meat paper should absorb this, you may notice some blood on the skin when you receive and unwrap your bird. In such a case, we recommend rinsing the bird before cooking and ensuring that it is dried carefully before cooking.
IQF frozen to maintain freshness and supreme quality.

HOW TO PREPARE & COOK SQUAB PIGEON
Squab pigeon is a tasty yet often overlooked ingredient in home cooking. This could be due to the limited availability of high-quality products and uncertainty about preparing it properly. These cooking techniques can be applied to any type of poultry or game bird. Cooking chickens using this method is also a great way to savor them at their peak, with just a longer oven cooking time.
