Pigeon and peas

The weather is glorious once again and the barbecue has been pulled out, cleaned and fired up.  I never look forward to the more random recipes that Nigel throws at my, and by random I mean the less usual, like pigeon or rabbit.  But pigeon it is today.  I am also not a particularly confident barbecuer either so completely took Nigel's advice on timing and I have to say it was spot on.  The flavour of this little bird was beautiful and it was cooked perfectly.  My gripe though is about the extreme fiddliness and teeny tiny quantity of actual meat on a pigeon.  The pea puree was outstanding, the flavour perfectly complementing the pigeon and I would definitely make that again.
