Partridge Recipes

Can anyone recommend any recipes for partridge ... tried and tasted

[Nik_B 3,790]

I don't have a recipe but recently I bought some partridge and pear pies which were very tasty.

 

I'd guess you would need, lean porn and pork fat for layers in between the partridge/pear mixture. Then prepare partridge, sliced pear, seasoning a few other bits n bobs like herbs and maybe marinade over night in red wine/port or maybe a sweet desert wine.

 

If you use hot water crust pastry you need to leave a steam hole in the top of it. Make a stock from the bones and legs etc and add gelatine so it will make a jelly.

 

When the pie has been cooked with the ingredients you would then let it cool & then chill. Then warm the jelly back up so it's liquid and pour as much in to the steam hole as it will take. Then you chill it again and you've got yourself some nice cold pies

 

 

You would need to make hot water crust pasty, some good tips here to make small pies by molding the pastry round a jam jar.

Snack/starter, this is something i do occasionally,

partridge dippers

Ingredients

Partridge breast

Flour

Paprika

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

 

Dip

Fish sauce

Garlic

Red chilli

Grean chilli

Shallot

Sugar

 

Season the flour with the salt, pepper, & paprika in a freezer bag blow the bag up & shake.

Cut the partridge breasts diagonally into thin strips place in bag blow & shake again until covered, fry in the oil 1 or 2 mins will be enough.

 

Finely chop garlic, chilli & shallot mix into the fish sauce along with the sugar.

Obviously you could use any sauce as a dip but I think this one is worth a try .

I tried a simple recipe with a couple of partridges I brought home from Beater's Day on Saturday. I simply plucked and gutted them, then I placed them in a roasting bag with some butter and seasoning. I also put a crushed clove of garlic and a wedge of lemon in the cavities, then roasted for an hour. The juices made a lovely gravy! I ate one last night and made some stock with the carcasses today. A lovely soup! I've also got a couple of pheasants hanging in the garage, so I'll do them tomorrow.

I did this the other day. I like simple stuff, hate plucking and dressing birds. Skin the bird and draw it. Half an onion inside with a knob of butter. Smother the bird in butter as well and cover with a couple rashers of bacon. Then roast for under 20mins at 180ish.
