Partially boned squab (aka European style squab) has its torso bones removed, but the bird is still whole. The de-boning makes it easier to have stuffed squab without having to work around the bones.
Yes, squabs are young pigeons (called pigeonneaux in French). But this noble bird is too often dismissed because it shares a name with the pests we see in metropolitan areas. Squab raised for human consumption are brought up on farms, as they have been in the Middle East and Asia for ages (squab were among the first birds domesticated). This practice has survived since antiquity because of these birds’ delicious flavor.
Squab is dark-meated, tender, high in protein and low in fat. These birds are delicious roasted, grilled or sauteed. Our squab is fed a vegetarian diet and fresh spring water. No antibiotics or chemicals are used.
We also offer oven ready whole squabs.
Store squabs frozen until you need them, then defrost completely before cooking.
Thawing Tips
Each squab is just the right size for a hearty single serving, and partially de-boned squab is perfect for stuffing! Squab meat is best cooked no further than medium-rare, and pairs well with flavors like cinnamon, juniper berries, hazelnuts, peaches, wine vinegar, olives, garlic and rosemary. It’s often served with rice.
