Pigeon terrine, a dish that's both rustic and refined, is perfect for those seeking a unique and flavourful appetiser. Though its popularity may ebb and flow, terrine offers a timeless elegance, especially when crafted with tender pigeon breast. I created this recipe after I was given several pigeons from the local farmer. It yields a light yet satisfying terrine that pairs beautifully with Melba toast, making it an ideal starter for any occasion.
