Peel and slice the shallots. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan. Add the shallots. Cook gently for 5 mins. Peel the carrots. Slice into thin sticks or use a julienne cutter to make thin strips. Add to the shallots. Cook for 1 min.

Finely grate the zest from one half of the lemon. Juice that half. Slice the other half into wedges. Stir the zest and juice into the veg. Take off the heat. Season. Pop on a lid to keep them warm.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the frying pan. Season the pigeon. Add to the pan. Cook for 4 mins, turning once, till firm and brown. Add the remaining butter to the pan. Let it sizzle. Remove from the heat. Rest for 5 mins. Serve the pigeon with the röstis, veg, baby leaf salad and lemon wedges.
