Ingredients:
- 2 partridge breasts

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Place the partridge breasts and 1 cup of chopped onions in a large saucepan. |
| 2 | Add 5 cups of cold water to the saucepan. |
| 3 | Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender. |
| 4 | Once the partridge is cooked through and tender, carefully remove it from the broth and set it aside to cool slightly. |
| 5 | While the partridge is cooling, finely chop the remaining onion and carrots. |
| 6 | Add the chopped carrots and onions to the simmering broth in the saucepan. |
| 7 | Shred the cooked partridge meat into small pieces and return it to the saucepan. |
| 8 | Stir in the medium grain rice, ensuring it’s well combined with the broth and other ingredients. |
| 9 | Cover the saucepan with a lid and continue to simmer the stew for an additional 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the carrots are tender. |
| 10 | Season the stew with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 11 | Once the stew is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve hot, accompanied by a generous portion of oyster crackers for dipping and savoring every delicious bite. |
