Piccione alla leccarda from Trattoria La Palomba in Orvieto, Italy
Pigeon in sauce made of garlic, rosemary, sage, onion, black olives, red wine, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper
This restaurant is in the 2024 Michelin Guide Italy. Recommend stopping here if you’re visiting Orvieto and want to try something different!
So do they just put the whole pigeon in a blender until it’s puréed?
Nah the pigeon is cooked in a pan along with this really thick and savory herbal sauce
Chef looked at shit on a shingle and said they could make it shittier.
Looks like chicken mole. Hope to try it sometime (maybe at a more simple restaurant).
For something as common as “poultry in sauce” it sure looks like an industrial accident.
