Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Coat each dove in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Brown the doves on all sides until they are golden. Remove the doves from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add diced onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
-
Return the doves to the skillet. Pour in chicken broth and whole milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until the doves are tender.
-
Once the doves are cooked, remove them from the skillet and shred the meat off the bones. Discard the bones and return the shredded meat to the skillet. Stir to incorporate the meat with the sauce.
-
Transfer the mixture into a deep pie dish or casserole dish.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface large enough to cover the dish. Place the puff pastry over the filling and tuck the edges inside the dish. Cut a few small slits on the pastry to allow steam to escape.
-
Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg wash. This will give the crust a beautiful golden color when baked.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is puffed and golden brown.
-
Once done, remove the Dove Pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Slice into the pie, revealing the savory filling of tender doves and flavorful vegetables. Serve hot and enjoy the heartwarming flavors of this impressive dish.
