Serving 4
  Ingredients
50ml x plus extra to drizzle Rapeseed oil
4 x Cloves of garlic
2" x Ginger
1 x Fresh chilli, green or red
2 tbsp x Medium curry powder
1 tbsp x Garam Masala
½ tbsp Chilli powder
½ tbsp Fine salt or to taste
8 x Partridge Breasts, skinless (or 4 skinless pheasant breasts, chopped in half)

In a blender

combine the oil, garlic, ginger and chilli. Blend to a smooth, thick paste, adding more oil slowly if required. Add in the spices and salt, and blend till well mixed. 

Transfer the marinade

to a mixing bowl, and add the partridge breasts. Mix well with your hands, ensuring they are well coated. Transfer to the fridge, and chill for up to 72 hours.

If using a BBQ

make sure to lightly oil the grills to ensure the partridge doesn’t stick. Grill for 3 minutes per side, turning once during cooking. Rest for 1 minute after cooking.

If using an oven

preheat it to the max temperature (with grill on) that it will go to – 250-300C. Place the partridge breasts well spread out on a foil lined baking sheet, and drizzle a touch of oil over them. Bake for 6-7 minutes, ensuring the marinade chars a little but doesn’t burn. Rest for 1 minute after cooking.
