Method
Brown the partridge
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over a high heat. Brown the partridge all over – don’t cook completely. Once browned, transfer onto a plate.
Add the onions, garlic and chorizo
Reduce the heat to low, add the onions and cook slowly until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, stir for 1 minute, then toss in the chorizo and fry until it releases its oils.
Add the spices
Stir in the spices, then tip in the rice. Stir to coat the rice in the oils and spices for about 2 minutes, then pour in the stock.
Bring the rice
to the boil, return the partridge to the pan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Final touches
Add the peas to the pan, and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the rice is cooked and the partridge is tender.
To serve
Season well, and serve with lemon and parsley and parmesan if you fancy it.
