Roast wild Pigeon grilled english plums, freekeh wheat, Nespresso Grand Cru Ristretto and cardamon
2. Prepare pigeon by removing legs and offal (for sauce) keeping the breast in one piece. Pre-heat a small roasting pan, add a small amount of vegetable oil and lightly colour the breasts all over. Add 1 crushed garlic clove, 3 cardamom pods, a sprig of thyme plus 25ml of Nespresso Grand Cru Ristretto. Baste the pigeon liberally and roast for approx 7 mins at 180°C. Once cooked, leave to rest in a warm place for 10 mins.
3. Place pigeon, trimmings and bones in frying pan with a splash of vegetable oil.
Cook until nicely browned. Add 1 crushed garlic clove, 3 cardamom pods and a pinch of thyme. Add the brandy and flame, add the madeira and bring to the boil. Cover with chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 18mins. Strain the juice through a fine sieve, finish with 25ml of Nespresso Grand Cru Ristretto and a knob of butter. Do not boil as this will take the aromatic notes away from the coffee. Spoon over the pigeon and serve. Garnish with Scottish girolles, grilled victoria plums, plum jam, and a few wild leaves."
