I absolutely love cooking with game – I'm a country girl, a farmer's daughter, and it's part of my life. People often don't realize how versatile – and how healthy - game is to cook and eat. There's a huge variety available – from snipe and partridge to venison and hare, and so many ways of preparing it, from traditional old-fashioned and delicious roast pheasant wrapped in bacon to a modern-day venison
burger stuffed with blue cheese. - Rachel Green.

Italian Partridge Sandwich

Preparation Time: 0 Hours & 0 Mins

Cooking Time: 0 Hours & 40 Mins

Smear the partridges well with butter and wrap each one with 2 slices of pancetta.

Place in a roasting tin and cover with foil.

Cook in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for a further 10 minutes or until the juices run clear.

Leave to cool slightly.

Drizzle a little oil over the bread and toast or chargrill on one side, then rub the toasted surface with the cut garlic and sprinkle over a little oregano.

Slice the partridge and layer equally onto the toasted bread with the mozzarella, tomatoes, sunblush tomatoes, basil and olives.

Serving Suggestion

Season and drizzle a little more olive oil over.

Serve with a few extra olives and a little of the crumbled cooked pancetta, if liked.
