Ingredients
•Marinade
•2 pigeons
•1½ gills of dry white wine
•Salt and pepper
•1 chopped raw carrot
•2 oz belly pork
•1 chopped raw onion
•½ oz butter
•bouquet garni
•Flour
•4 tablespoons brandy

Method
Salt and pepper the pigeons and leave them to soak in the marinade for 5 – 6 hours, turning them 3 or 4 times. Dice the pork and, using a heavy casserole, fry in butter until crisp. Dry the pigeons, sprinkle with a little flour and gently brown them all over in the port fat. Pour over them the warmed brandy and flambé.
Add the strained marinade, the crushed clove of garlic and more seasoning. Cover tightly, putting a piece of kitchen foil between the contents of the casserole and the lid, to prevent steam escaping. Cook in the centre of a slow oven for 2½ hours. Serve the birds on a bed of red cabbage with sauce poured over.
