Ingredients

  • 2 to 4 - dressed doves
  • 1/2 cup djon or spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 pound small red new potatoes
  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup sliced toasted almonds
  • 1/2 cup good dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

How To Make lovey doves (sallye)

  • Step 1
    Prehead oven to 350º F Scrub potatoes and cut in half lengthwise Prick skin side 4 times with fork or skewer Cut onion into quarters lengthwise Place in bowl and set aside Mix mustard, salt & pepper together in a small bowl. Very lightly grease rectangular baking pan (birds will make their own juice)
  • Step 2
    Split birds in half, wash and pat dry Arrange birds, skin side up, in baking pan. Brush each bird evenly with mustard mixture.
  • Step 3
    Arrange potatoes and onions around the sides of birds. Gently spoon wine over the birds and vegetables, taking care not to dislodge the mustard. Place in preheated oven uncovered and bake at 350º F for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer birds and veggies to a serving plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Step 4
    Place baking pan on stovetop burner over medium heat. Bring pan drippings to a boil, deglazing the pan with a wooden spoon. Once drippings begin to boil, whisk in half and half. Add horseradish (optional) at this time. Reduce heat and simmer for five minutes. This sauce will thicken slightly.
  • Step 5
    Remove from heat and drizzle sauce over birds and veggies. Sprinkle toasted almonds and chopped parsley over the birds and veggies. Serve immediately.
