Pretty in pink

This week's recipe pairs the tastiest and meatiest pigeon with pickled vegetables for an enlivening starter.

Most of the meat comes from the woodpigeon's breast, which is best quickly pan-fried and served pink. Ask your butcher to take the breasts off the birds for you, keeping the carcasses to make a tasty stock.
