Description

4 x skinless partridge breast fillets per pack also available in 1 kg pack.

• Partridge is a small game bird that is a member of the pheasant family. Its meat is lean and delicate in flavour.
• Partridge breast fillets come from the two breast halves of the bird. They are smaller and more oval-shaped than chicken breasts.
• Raw partridge breast meat is pale pink in colour with a fine, smooth texture. There is little fat, connective tissue, or sinew.
• Partridge breast has a milder, more delicate flavour than other game birds. It is described as tasting between chicken and pheasant, with subtle gamey notes.
• The meat has a slightly sweet, nutty quality from the birds’ seed and grain-based diet. The flavour is clean and pure.
• Partridge breasts are best cooked quickly over high heat by grilling, broiling or pan-searing. Take care not to overcook them.
• Their sweet, delicate flavour pairs well with fruit, citrus, fresh herbs, cream, mushrooms, root vegetables, white wine or brandy.
• Partridge breasts make an elegant and lean main course, but their small size also lends well to appetisers. They work nicely in salads, on flat breads, or sliced for sandwiches.
