Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the 2 pigeons and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the 0.5 cup rice, 1 finely chopped onion, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 0.5 tsp salt. Stuff the mixture loosely into the pigeons' cavities.
Step 3
Rub the outside of the pigeons with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 0.5 tsp salt. Place them breast-side up in a roasting pan.
Step 4
Roast for 20-25 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp and the juices run clear when pierced.
Step 5
Slice the 1 lemon into wedges. Serve the pigeons hot with lemon wedges and fresh lettuce leaves on the side.
