Ingredients

• 2 whole birds Partridge
• 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Onion
• 2 Bay leaves
• 8 Whole black peppercorns
• 250 ml Red wine
• 500 ml Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the partridges under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season the partridges with salt inside and out.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Brown the partridges on all sides for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Dice the onion.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the garlic and onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the bay leaves and whole black peppercorns to the pan and stir for 1 minute to release their aromas.

Step 7

Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the chicken stock and white wine vinegar to the pan. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Return the partridges to the pan, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 1.5 hours, turning the partridges occasionally to ensure even cooking. Add water if the liquid reduces too much.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Step 12

Once the partridges are tender and cooked through, remove them from the pan and keep warm.

Step 13

Increase the heat and reduce the sauce slightly until it reaches a thicker, more concentrated consistency.

Step 14

Serve the partridges with the sauce ladled on top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
