Pigeon Casserole in Red Wine Sauce image

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!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked the pigeon.

The sauce was amazing, but the pigeon meat was a bit tough.

This casserole was a bit too gamey for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it reminded him of venison.

I've never cooked pigeon before, but this recipe made it easy and delicious. The red wine sauce was the perfect complement to the gamey flavor of the pigeon. I'll be adding this dish to my regular rotation.

This pigeon casserole was a hit with my family! The red wine sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pigeon meat was tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this dish again.
