Serves : 4

Ingredients :

  • 8 partridge breasts (skinless)
  • For the sauce:
    • 25g soy sauce
    • 75g mirin
    • 50g apple cider vinegar/white wine vinegar/rice wine vinegar
    • 50g Gochujang/ Korean red chilli pepper paste
    • 50g Honey 
    • 50g Brown sugar
    • 25g chopped garlic
    • 25g grated ginger 
    • 50g grated onion
  • 1 x bunch spring onions 
  • 50g toasted and crushed pumpkin and sunflower seeds 

Method

STEP 1 : Get the grill nice and hot, partridge breasts are only quite small so will overcook if the cooking area is not hot enough.
STEP 2 : Weigh all the sauce ingredients into a pan and bring to a simmer, check the consistency and thicken with cornflour or add water according. 
STEP 3 : Cut the partridge down the middle lengthwise, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 mins each side, rest for a further 2 minutes and do a visual check.
STEP 4 : Place the partridge in a bowl and add a generous around of the sauce and stir well, top with the toasted seeds and spring onions. This is lovely with a baby gem salad and some sour cream/cooling yoghurt depending on how much chilli paste you’ve used!
