For an appetizer, you can bone out the breasts, giving you two pieces of meet about the size of a fork's tines. Wrap each in a strip of bacon, and maybe put a chestnut slice on top, sticking the three things together with a toothpick. Then brown in light oil. Pour in milk, enough to cover the bottom of the pan, and maybe a 1/4 inch deep, so it doesn't boil off, adding salt( a very little needed) and pepper, to taste, cover, and cook in the milk for an hour, at low heat. The bacon strips will be soft, and the dove tender. This makes great finger food! But it won't last long.
Obviously, this is a simple recipe you can play with using other spices. A dusting of Paprika comes to mind as something you can add after they are cooked and before serving, to add " spice " to the flavors. YOu can also make " brown " gravy out o the drippings, and pour that over the dove " bites" for flavoring, too.
