Pigeon pie is a traditional pie served at wedding feasts. Pigeon pies served at weddings of the nobility can be enormous in size, as they are meant to feed all of the guests. Sometimes, very expensive weddings such as those held for the royal family may be hollowed out to contain a flock of live pigeons, who will made a visual spectacle as they fly out when the pie is first cut open.

Game of Thrones: Pigeon Pie Recipe

I’m being absolutely honest when I say this has to be my favorite savory pie I’ve had so far. I’ve tried a few recipes online for pigeon pie and the recipe from Bon Appetit was my favorite. I love the savory and sweet aspect of it and the recipe I have today is a variation of it. Even though there are quite a few ingredients, this pie is really easy to put together. Most of the time and effort goes into the outside appearance of the pie but it’s so worth the time and looks incredibly impressive if you’re hosting a party. Honestly, if I can make this pie look half decent, I doubt you will have any trouble. You have to give it a try!

Tonight is finally the Emmys and I think it’s safe to say that Game of Thrones is going to sweep the competition. They already won a few awards during the Creative Arts Emmys a few days ago! The category I’m very curious to see who will win is Best Supporting Actress. I personally find it impossible to chose between Maisie Williams, Emilia Clarke, or Lena Headey.

• ________
• HOT WATER CRUST
• ________
• 20oz - all purpose flour
• 1½ sticks / 6oz- unsalted butter
• 7.5oz - water
• 1 - egg, lightly beaten (egg wash)

1. Heat a saucepan over medium heat with butter and oil. Once hot, add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the sugar and mix to combine. When the onions get soft, add the wine and cook over medium low heat until most of the liquid has cooked off and the onions are really nice and soft. Season for salt and pepper, set aside.
2. Heat a clean saucepan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and once hot, add the onions and bay leaf and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add the diced carrots, and celery and cook for another 3 minutes. Add the ground pork, cinnamon, and cloves. Break the pork into small pieces and cook just enough for the pork to cook through. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
3. Preheat the oven to 375F. Have an 8' spring form pan ready for the crust.
4. For the crust, heat the water and butter together just until it comes to a boil. Pour the water and butter mixture into the flour and mix just until it forms a ball of dough. Take ⅓ of the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Leave the rest of the dough in a warm place, covered.
5. Roll the dough out into a circle. It needs to be big enough to fit the bottom and sides of the pan. Transfer the rolled out dough to the pan and gently press it into the corners of the pan.
6. To start filling the pie, start with three slices pancetta followed by half of the pork, half of the onions, half of the apricots, half of the pine nuts, and then another 3 slices of pancetta.
7. Lightly season the quail or chicken with salt and pepper and fill the pie with the meat. Top another 3 slices of pancetta and the rest of the onions, apricots, and pine nuts. Pour in the last of the pork and finish with 3 more slices of pancetta on top. Set aside.
8. Take half of the remaining dough and roll it out to fit the top of the pie. Press the dough together to seal the seams. At this point, you can decorate the top of the pie with leaves, a crown, and a pigeon in the middle. Stick the add ons with a little bit of the egg wash. Cut 2-4 slices in the center (inside the crown) to allow ventilation. Egg wash the crust.
9. Bake for one hour. At this point, the crust should be lightly golden brown but if you notice your bird or edges are getting dark too quickly, cover it with foil. If you want to add any additional leaves to the side of the pie, I took the pie out when the top was lightly golden brown. Take off the ring of the springform pan and add any additional leaves. Pan for another 30-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Let it cool before slicing and eating.

This weekend we're welcoming back the show that has the monopoly on lurid violence, epic battles, and wholly unnecessary nudity: Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin's ability to describe the crunching of a skull is rivaled only by his ability to describe the crunching of a pastry, so it's only fitting that this sexy saga is home to some serious food porn. And revenge porn. And porn porn. I'm a main character in this show, so my life is decidedly in danger this week.

Whats In Pigeon Pie In Game Of Thrones Season

Ingredients

• 2 pounds squab breasts

• 1 pound wild boar, cut into 2-inch pieces

• 1 pound rabbit, cut into 2-inch pieces

• 3 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1/2 vidalia onion, diced and sautéed

• 2 tsp finely chopped sage

• 2 Tbsp finely chopped rosemary

• 2 Tbsp finely chopped thyme

• 1/4 cup dried cherries, soaked in madeira wine

• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, sautéed in butter

• 1/4 cup apple, finely chopped, sautéed in butter

• 16 ounces all purpose flour

• 3 1/2 ounces bread flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 6 ounces lard

• 7 ounces water

• 6 slices of bacon, cut in half

• 1 egg, beaten

• Grain mustard (optional)

Makes 1 large pie

1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of squab breasts with 2 Tbsp onion, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, soaked cherries, 1 tsp salt, and freshly ground pepper. Set aside, and repeat with wild boar: onion, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. With the remaining squab breasts, combine the apple, 2 tsp sage, 1 tsp thyme, salt, and pepper. Finally, with the rabbit, combine mushrooms, 2 tsp thyme, and 1 tsp rosemary. Keep all meats separate.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together flours and salt in a large bowl. Bring lard and water to a bare simmer and add to the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Once it’s cool enough to handle, knead until it forms a smooth, tacky dough. Roll out 2/3 of the dough to a 24-inch round, covering the remainder with a warm/damp towel, and drape over a liberally-greased and floured springform mold. Gently coax the dough down into the mold and press into the corners, patching as necessary to seal it. Begin filling the pastry - first with the cherry squab, a layer of bacon strips, then the wild boar, another layer of bacon, the apple squab, another layer of bacon, and the rabbit. Make sure the meat is pressed deeply into every corner, and roll out a knob of dough until it’s the size of a lid for the pastry. Cover and pinch the edges, sealing like a pie. Cut a steam hole in the center of the lid, and decorate as desired with remaining pastry.

3. Bake pie for 30 minutes at 400°F, then lower the temperature to 325°F, baking for an additional 90 minutes, or until pastry is browned and filling reaches 165°F internally. Trim the crust as necessary so the springform can eventually release - allow to cool for at least 2 hours before attempting to remove, ideally refrigerating overnight. Slice and serve with grain mustard.
