Squabs from the dovecote

Food and drink · Ciguñuela, Montes Torozos, Valladolid

Image of Ciguñuela, not of the place itself.

In the villages of the moorland, the adobe dovecotes were not ornament: they raised squabs for the table and pigeon dung to fertilise the fields. Stewed or roast squab is still one of the most deeply rooted dishes of the Torozos, today recovered by haute cuisine.
