PIGEON SALMIS BOCAL WECK 400GR

The term Salmis refers to cooking poultry in a red wine-based sauce. Pigeon salmis is a cooked dish from the South West par excellence. This dish made it possible to use wood pigeons (pigeons), sometimes a little tough, which were harvested from the wood pigeon rack. Our canned pigeon salmis is authentic, a real taste of the land to discover! The pigeons used for this canned preparation are farmed in the South-West, cooked fresh, without being frozen. Accompanied by Bayonne ham, Landes carrots and cooked in Tursan wine or Madiran, this pigeon salmis is reminiscent of the good cuisine of yesteryear. We savor it in autumn, in front of a warm fireplace. Other game can also be cooked as salmis: partridge, duck, pheasant, woodcock, hare or venison. Salmis comes from “salmigondis” because everything is cooked there before filtering and recovering the juices. A sort of stew, in short… Whether it comes from breeding or hunting, pigeon meat has the particularity of being among the richest in iron with 20 mg per 100 g. It is also a meat rich in protein, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, as well as vitamins B3 and B6 (800 µg per 100 g). So no more reason to deprive yourself, all you have to do is prepare your pigeons in sauce, roasted, stuffed, with garlic... Its fine and tender flesh has the particularity of being particularly melting in the mouth and leaving a delicate hazelnut taste. Unlike other red meats, it is low in fat. What little fat there is is on the skin and around the rump. Once the flesh is cooked, these pieces are easy to remove. The pigeon is therefore ideal for people following a diet. The plus of the product: Artisanal preserves made from fresh raw materials selected from local producers. Preparation advice / recipe: Reheat gently in a saucepan and eat with rice, potatoes, or fresh pasta. What wine to accompany wood pigeon salmis? Pigeon salmis goes perfectly with rather “evolved” dry red wine such as a good Hermitage red, a Côte Rôtie, a Saint-Emilion grand cru, a Crozes-Hermitage red or even a Meursault premier cru Charmes red.
