NORTHERN ONTARIO PARTRIDGE (RUFFED GROUSE)



Northern Ontario Partridge (Ruffed Grouse) image

This was my Scottish grandmother's recipe for partridge, also commonly known as ruffed grouse. Partridge breasts are seared in bacon grease, then roasted in a simple wine sauce and served with a rich gravy.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the slices of bacon in the skillet and fry until they have released their juices, but are not crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. Place the partridge breast halves into the pan, and brown them quickly, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove the partridge pieces, and wrap each one with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks. Pour enough of the drippings from the skillet into a baking dish to cover the bottom. Place the partridge pieces into the dish along with the chicken broth, white wine, shallots, garlic, salt and black pepper.
  • Roast uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove drippings from the baking dish using a turkey baster, and place in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Serve gravy with partridge.

PANCETTA PARTRIDGE IN WINE SAUCE

For me, there aren't too many things more enjoyable than heading to Northern Ontario with my son and doing some partridge hunting. I think any hunter who's been lucky enough to have had this experience with their son (or good buddies) would agree. The crisp, fresh smell of fall and walking the trails is great. But, now that you've got a grouse or two, do it justice and cook it well. After a few years of looking for a good way to cook these birds I think I've found a winner, thanks to an old Northerner at the Kenogami Bridge Inn. Serve on rice or mashed potatoes.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 skinned partridges, breast meat filleted from the bone
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh spinach
1 cup cold water
1 (.75 ounce) packet dry mushroom gravy mix
½ cup dry red wine
½ cup 35% cream
1 pinch chopped fresh thyme
8 thin slices pancetta
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Place partridge fillets, one at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and tenderize by tapping with a rolling pin; set aside.
  • Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook, uncovered, until it turns bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain and dice.
  • Stir cold water gradually into gravy mix in a small saucepan using a whisk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until gravy comes to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and mix wine, cream, and thyme into gravy; gravy will thicken upon standing.
  • Lay tenderized fillets on a cutting board and place a thin layer of blanched spinach on top. Top with a thin layer of sauteed mushrooms, followed by 1 piece of pancetta. Roll and fold fillets, securing with toothpicks. Place into a small roasting pan. Pour gravy over meat until completely immersed.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 45 minutes.
