My mother was born in 1969 in the town of Bhalil not far from Fes. She grew up there. When she was a young girl, she was a good student and in her free time she helped her mother at home, like all good Moroccan girls do. Her mother taught her traditional recipes from the Berber culture that are so delicious. This is one of them.

Pigeons with Sauce
Sauce Ingredients:
* 4 pigeons
* 2 onions
* 2 heads of garlic
* parsley’
* cilantro
* salt
* pepper
* ginger
* saffron
* red pepper
* small cup of vegetable oil

Bread ingredients:
* 1 kg of flour
* tsp of salt
* 1/3 litre of water

To make this meal first slice the onions and put them in the bottom of a pressure cooker. Next put the four pigeons in (clean them first though!) Then chop up the garlic. After that add the salt, pepper, ginger, red pepper, and a small pinch of saffron. Finally add the oil and seal the pressure cooker. Cook for 35 minutes.

While that cooks you can make the breadd. Add the flour, salt, and water together mix well and bake in a very think pan until brown on the top.

To serve break the bread into four pieces. Arrange them on the plate. Put the pigeons in the middle and pour the sauce and onions over the top. This is a traditional Berber dish reserved just for VIPs.

My mother likes to make this in summer when the wheat is fresh and the pigeons are young.
