Corsica, France — hunting tradition; Alectoris rufa abundant in Corsican maquis scrubland 200–1200m; autumn season · Corsican Wild Bird Preparation
Gamey, dark-flavoured, herb-perfumed. The Maquis herb bundle (Nepita, Cistus, Rosmarinus) produces a Corsican-specific botanical character in the roasting fat.
1. No hanging — flat, under-flavoured result. 2. Low-temperature roasting (below 180°C) — breast dries before the legs are cooked. 3. No basting — the lack of fat on a game bird produces dry, tough breast. 4. Not resting — juice runs out completely on first cut.
Alectoris rufa (red-legged partridge; hung 48 hours at 4°C); Porcu Nustrale rendered fat (basting); Juniperus communis; Calamintha nepeta (Nepita); Cistus monspeliensis; Rosmarinus officinalis
