Stuffed Pigeons
Stuffed Pigeons is not really a dish that the majority of moroccans eat a lot. But it is famous in five star restaurants and considered an excellent dish. They really taste good, better than chicken. I dare you to try it. Ingredients : 10 pigeons plucked and gutted 2 onions chopped 2 tablespoon smen (rancid butter) 1 teaspoon chopped parsley ginger, cinnamon, pepper 6 sticks cinnamon 1 cup oil Farce : 1 kg of blanched almonds 1 / 2 glass of water, orange blossom 2 tablespoon sugar 1 packet of vanilla sugar 1 tablespoon smen (rancid butter) Preparation : Mix the almonds with 2 sugars, smen, water and orange blossom. Stuff the pigeons. Keep stuffing in place with toothpicks or butcher's twine. In a casserole, place the pigeons with oil, butter, onions and chopped parsley. Season with 1 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and cinnamon stick. Sprinkle water level. Cover and simmer over low heat for 3 to 4 hours. Yes, I know stuffed pigeons takes a long time to cook. But, believe me it is worth your time. |
