Pan-Seared Partridge with Bacon Sauce
Ingredients
  • 4 boneless partridge breast halves
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • toothpicks
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and sauté the slices of bacon until they have released their juices but are still tender. Set the cooked bacon aside for later use.
3
Add the partridge breast halves to the skillet and sear them quickly on both sides for approximately 2 minutes. Remove the cooked partridge pieces from the skillet and prepare them for further cooking.
4
Wrap each of the partridge pieces with two slices of bacon, securing it with a toothpick to keep everything in place.
5
Pour enough of the remaining skillet drippings into a baking dish, covering the bottom. Then, place the wrapped partridge pieces along with chicken broth, white wine, minced shallots, garlic, salt, and black pepper into the baking dish.
6
Roast the partridge pieces uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove any excess drippings from the baking dish using a turkey baster, and transfer them to a saucepan.
7
Whisk in the flour into the saucepan with the drippings, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Serve the rich gravy alongside the roasted partridge.
