Fieldfares, Roasted

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Truss the fieldfares like a partridge.

  2. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Roast in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.

  4. Serve immediately.

What each ingredient does

Fieldfares
Main protein; the bird is the dish, so its cooking time sets the result.

The step that matters

Roast in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.. Small birds dry out quickly in dry oven heat, and lean meat turns tough past its ideal doneness. Checking early in the window and serving promptly keeps the meat tender and juicy.
