Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Peel the celeriac and cut into chips. Place onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden.
- Make the slaw; coarsely grate the carrot. Coarsely grate the apple. Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Combine all in a mixing bowl with the vinegar, mustard, yoghurt and half the honey (to taste). Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
- Coat the partridge fillets in 1 tsp oil. Add the panko crumbs to a large mixing bowl with a pinch of sea salt. Add the partridge and press into the panko to coat evenly.
- Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the partridge and cook for 2-3 mins, per side, until golden on the outside and slightly pink on the inside. Check your partridge is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary. Leave to rest before slicing.
- Roughly chop the parsley. Toss the cooked celeriac fries with the fresh parsley and the garlic & herb paste.
- Serve the sliced partridge with the celeriac fries and slaw.
