Partridge with chicory (serves 2)
Partridge are delicious simply roasted for about 35 minutes but another way to cook them is as follows:-
You will need
4oz butter
2 partridges
2 slices streaky bacon
3 heads chicory
juice of half lemon
salt & pepper
1. Heat half the butter in a pan, brown the birds evenly and then season (if the birds are not young continue cooking gently in the butter for another 5 minutes)
2. Chop the bacon and carefull slice the chicory heads in half removing the littlecore at the base that causes the bitterness.
3. Melt the rest of the butter in a heavy pan and saute the bacon for a few minutes, then toss in the chicory
4. Add the partridges with any remaining butter, and the lemon juice. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the partridges are tender |
We can't get over how generous we are. Grouse have come down in price again!
