    • Make the chicken stock using 2L of water and 30g of Knorr Chicken Stock Powder. Bring to a boil, addKnorr Arabic Spices Mix, the bay leaf and cardamom.
    • In a large sauté pan, add the ghee and sauté the onion on medium low heat.
    • Add the tomato paste, cook for 1 minute, then add the tomato juice and cook for 5 more minutes.
    • Add the rice and cook for 3 minutes. Add a little bit of the chicken stock.
    • Adjust the seasoning and add 6 grams of black peppers (not the full quantity).
    • Stuff each pigeon's cavity and under the skin. Be careful and don't over stuff it because the rice will double in size while cooking.
    • Place the stuffed pigeons in the stock, it will take around 15 minutes to cook.
    • Pull the pigeons out of the stock and let them rest.
    • Strain the stock and retain 1L to make the brown sauce.

    • Serve it with the Pigeon.

  3. Tip:

    • For a crispy skin, you can pan sear the pigeon after taking it out of the stock.
