Supreme

Pigeon supreme is a neat breast portion, often with a cleaned wing-bone stub for elegant plating. Dark, rich breast sits closer to steak than chicken; squab is the tender young bird. Pan-roast skin-side down first if skin-on, finish gently, rest. Light jus keeps the meat central. Serve breast pink; cook legs longer or confit—do not grey the breast.
