The book gives no quantities; the amounts below are ours.
Method
6 soļi- Heat the oven to 200 °C. Check the birds for stray feathers and singe off any down with a kitchen blowtorch or over a gas flame.
- Season the partridges inside and out and put a small knob of butter inside each (our addition). Lay 2 bacon rashers over each breast.
- Butter the sheets of baking paper. Wrap each bird in a sheet and tie it with string.
- Lightly butter the bread and lay it in a roasting tin. Set a partridge on each slice.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 75 °C. The birds will be pale, as the book intends; for browner birds, unwrap them for the last 10 minutes.
- Serve each partridge on its toast, which will have soaked up the juices.
Notes
What the book says vs. what we added
the book says that both grey partridges and hazel grouse must be plucked carefully so the skin doesn't tear. They can be pan-fried or roasted on a small spit. The feathered head is left on and only singed over the coals and made stiff. They can be larded, or wrapped in pieces of bacon and paper and roasted, which keeps them white. If you want to roast them with all their innards and guts, put slices of bread underneath. The butter, salt, pepper, oven and times are ours. We roast them drawn but keep the toast underneath.
In a pan
brown the larded or bacon-wrapped birds in butter in a heavy pan for 8–10 minutes, then cover and cook over low heat for 15–20 minutes, turning, until the thigh reaches 75 °C.
Undrawn birds
we don't recommend roasting partridges with their guts in. If you have the livers and hearts, chop them, fry them briefly in butter with a little salt and spread them on the toast before serving.
Partridges
wild grey partridges are scarce. Farmed red-legged partridges are sold in season (UK: 1 September to 1 February) and frozen all year. Hazel grouse (meža irbe) are hard to buy outside Scandinavia and the Baltics; see 02-075. Birds are sold without heads today.
Game safety
check for lead shot while carving.
