Hamam Mahshy, Egyptian stuffed pigeons
To access the ingredient list and full instructions, choose a monthly or annual subscription.
“In Egypt, we often eat the whole pigeon, not just a pigeon fillet. It is usually stuffed, most often with rice. It’s not really a dish that is eaten with a fork and a knife: there is a whole technique for enjoying Egyptian-style stuffed pigeon! It is a very hearty and particularly tasty dish.
In general, pigeons are purchased directly from the loft. They still exist today in different neighborhoods of Cairo. It’s actually one of my aunt Rabab’s signature dishes, and it’s also a dish that my sister Asmaa loves. »
