In the Kitchen with Chef Jordan Billan

The dish roasted fillet and truffled pomme de terre boulangère, confit, mustard-glazed leg and wing, choux cazette and gizzard tartelet, offal ravioli, and floral consommé.
Wood Pigeons

"I start by carefully separating the legs and wings from the pigeons, setting the offal and gizzards aside, nothing goes to waste here. In a hot pan, I sear the pieces skin-side down until richly golden, then transfer them to the oven: 2 minutes at 180°C for the fillets, 8-12 minutes for the legs and wings, with a little thyme, a crushed garlic clove, and a knob of butter to baste the meat. Meanwhile, I slowly confit the gizzards in olive oil over a gentle heat until tender and fragrant."

Truffled Pomme de terre Boulangère

"With a mandoline, I slice the potatoes, onions, and truffle into half moons, then layer them in a buttered dish. I pour over the seasoned chicken stock and bake for 3 hours at 130°C."

Tartlet

"I cut out circles of filo pastry, lightly oil them and press them into moulds, then bake for 5 minutes at 180°C. Half the kale is blanched and blended into a purée; the rest is fried at 170°C until crisp. The tartlets are filled with the purée and the confit gizzards."

Offal Ravioli

"In a saucepan, I gently soften the onions, carrots, garlic, and thyme, then cover with a floral infusion. I then sear the offal in olive oil, flambé with Cognac, and deglaze with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Once cooled, I finely chop it with shallots, fresh herbs, a little salt and pepper. I make a pasta dough with the flour and egg yolks, rolling it out thinly before placing the filling on top. I then seal the ravioli, cut them out, and plunge them into boiling water for 2 minutes. While this cooks, I prepare a clear consommé with the carcasses, vegetables, and the floral infusion."

Plating Up

"I slice the pigeon fillets and finish them with a little grated truffle. Beside them, I arrange a generous slice of pomme de terre Boulangère, and add a touch of mustard to lift the flavour. Finally, I place the ravioli, then pour the piping-hot consommé around it."
