Dove Purlieu
Ingredients
- 24 dove breasts
- 1 pound smoked sausage
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 to 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups white rice
- 1 (8-ounce) can mushrooms
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooke the dove breasts in enough water to cover all 24 of them in a large pot until the meat separates easily from the bones. Remove the meat and keep it at hand. Remove the bones and shot from the liquid. Reserve enough of the liquid to cook the rice. Cut the sausage into small pieces and cook briefly in the liquid until they begin to swell. Saute the onion in butter in a skillet until tender. Add the rice, dove, onion, mushrooms, salt and pepper to the pot and bring the liquid back to a boil. Reduce heat and cook according to the rice package directions.
Yield: 6 servings
