Baked Doves With Gravy

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish large enough to accommodate the doves comfortably.

2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the doves in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Brown the doves on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Transfer the browned doves to the prepared baking dish.

4. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and red wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5. Pour the broth and wine mixture over the doves in the baking dish. Dot the doves with butter for added richness.

6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the doves are cooked through and tender.

7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the doves to brown slightly.

8. Once the doves are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon the gravy from the baking dish over the doves, ensuring they are generously coated.

9. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

10. Serve the baked doves hot, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
