Wicklow Wood pigeon with Black Pudding Recipe by Rock Lobster in Dundrum

This is a very popular winter starter that we do regularly in the restaurant and is super easy at home as it’s a 1 pan wonder!

This dish could easily also be a main and when we do it as one we simply confit down the legs to add some extra body to the dish, add some really buttery potatoes and roast seasonal roots.
