How to cook deliciously - Pancetta Partridge in Wine Sauce

1. Stage

Place partridge fillets, one at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and tenderize by tapping with a rolling pin; set aside.

2. Stage

Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.

3. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. Stage

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.

5. Stage

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.

6. Stage

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.

7. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 45 minutes.
