Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 squab
6 slices bacon
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
3 1/2 cups cornbread, diced and toasted
3 shallots, peeled and diced
1/2 cup apricot brandy
1/2 teaspoon powdered Habanero chile
1/2 cup orange juice
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash and dry the squab.
  • In a medium size heavy skillet, over a medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper and crumble. Reserve the bacon grease. Add the onion to the skillet and saute 3 to 5 minutes, or until transparent. Add the celery and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the dried apricots and stock. Return the bacon to the skillet and add the parsley. Place the cornbread in a large bowl. Pour the entire contents of the skillet over the cornbread and toss well to coat. Season the squabs inside and out with salt and pepper and stuff with the cornbread stuffing. Truss the squabs. In a large cast iron skillet, heat the reserved bacon fat. Saute the squabs until brown on all sides, turning often. Transfer the squabs to a baking dish and place in the oven. Meanwhile, saute the shallots in the skillet, add the apricot brandy and reduce by half. Add the Habanero chile powder. Add the orange juice and cook until slightly thickened. Glaze the squab every 5 minutes as they finish roasting, for 15 minutes.
  • Serve with steamed broad beans.

Tips:

  • Choose the right partridge: Look for plump, young partridges with smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Prepare the partridge properly: Remove any feathers or giblets, and rinse the partridge inside and out.
  • Use a hot pan and plenty of butter: This will help to create a crispy skin and prevent the partridge from sticking.
  • Cook the partridge over medium heat: This will help to ensure that the partridge cooks evenly throughout.
  • Let the partridge rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried partridge is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover partridge, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. Serve the partridge with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
