Considered one of the finest game birds by connoisseurs, it weighs just under a pound. It has a large breast with deep red meat. The taste is faintly livery. Strong, but manageable with a good marinade. Quite meaty for its size and has a pleasing game flavor.
Wild mushrooms are a good choice in any form.
I like a ragout of mixed mushrooms splashed with port or Madeira. Or toss a few slices into some stir-fried seasonal green veggies. Try steamed asparagus with thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms and scallions or snow peas with some fresh ginger. And as long as we're staying on the wild side, wild rice is a good choice. But not straight.
