- Prepare the pigeon by removing the legs and wings, leaving the breast intact on the carcass of the pigeon.
- Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan and cook the pigeon breasts in the stock for 5-6 min then remove and leave to rest and cold down.
- Allow the stock to continue to simmer as this will reduce and become your sauce.
- In a saucepan sautee the swede in the butter till it is tender, about 15 min, then blend till it is completely smooth, season and keep hot.
- Sautee the peeled shallots and unpeeled garlic cloves in extra virgin olive oil till they are tender. Set aside and keep hot. Sautee the salsify in extra virgin olive oil till tender, set aside and keep hot.
- Heat a griddle pan till it is very warm. Carefully carve the breasts off the pigeon carcass and smooth over a little extra virgin olive oil. Grill the breasts on the very warm griddle, skin side down, turning every minute or possibly so till the are pink, that should take about 4-5 min. Baste them with the oil and juices as they cook. Allow to rest while you complete the sauce.
- The stock should be reduced to about 200ml (7fl ounce). Strain and return to the warm pan. Season to taste and then beat in small chunks of unsalted butter till the sauce is glossy, smooth and slightly thickened. Check the seasoning.
- To assemble the dish, put a round serving of the pureed swede in the centre of the plate with the shallots, garlic cloves and salsify around. Cut each pigeon breast in 2 horizontally and arrange on top of the swede. Spoon the warm sauce around and over the vegetables.
