Ingredients

  • 3/4 pint of stock
  • a slice of lean ham
  • a bunch of savoury herbs
  • a slice of ham into small pieces
  • 3 young partridges
  • 3 shalots
  • 1 carrot
  • 4 mushrooms
  • 2 cloves
  • 6 whole peppers
  • 1 glass of sherry
  • 3 partridges
  • mace
  • allspice
  • white pepper
  • salt
  • cloves
  • pepper

Directions

1

1037. INGREDIENTS.--Partridges; seasoning to taste of mace, allspice white pepper, and salt; butter, coarse paste.

2

_Mode_.--Pluck and draw the birds, and wipe them inside with a damp cloth. Pound well some mace, allspice, white pepper, and salt; mix together, and rub every part of the partridges with this. Pack the birds as closely as possible in a baking-pan, with plenty of butter over them, and cover with a coarse flour and water crust. Tie a paper over this, and bake for rather more than 1-1/2 hour; let the birds get cold, then cut them into pieces for keeping, pack them closely into a large potting-pot, and cover with clarified butter. This should be kept in a cool dry place. The butter used for potted things will answer for basting, or for paste for meat pies.--See coloured plate, D1.

3

_Time_.--1-1/2 hour.

4

_Seasonable_ from the 1st of September to the beginning of February.

SALMI DE PERDRIX, or HASHED PARTRIDGES.

6

1038. INGREDIENTS.--3 young partridges, 3 shalots, a slice of lean ham, 1 carrot, 3 or 4 mushrooms, a bunch of savoury herbs, 2 cloves, 6 whole peppers, 3/4 pint of stock, 1 glass of sherry or Madeira, a small lump of sugar.

7

_Mode_.--After the partridges are plucked and drawn, roast them rather underdone, and cover them with paper, as they should not be browned; cut them into joints, take off the skin from the wings, legs, and breasts; put these into a stewpan, cover them up, and set by until the gravy is ready. Cut a slice of ham into small pieces, and put them, with the carrots sliced, the shalots, mushrooms, herbs, cloves, and pepper, into a stewpan; fry them lightly in a little butter, pour in the stock, add the bones and trimming from the partridges, and simmer for 1/4 hour. Strain the gravy, let it cool, and skim off every particle of fat; put it to the legs, wings, and breasts, add a glass of sherry or Madeira and a small lump of sugar, let all gradually warm through by the side of the fire, and when on the point of boiling, serve, and garnish the dish with croûtons. The remains of roast partridge answer very well dressed in this way, although not so good as when the birds are in the first instance only half-roasted. This recipe is equally suitable for pheasants, moor-game, &c.; but care must be taken always to skin the joints.

8

_Time_.--Altogether 1 hour.

9

_Sufficient_.--2 or 3 partridges for an entrée.

_Seasonable_ from the 1st of September to the beginning of February.
