Partridge and Lentil Casserole

Game is an integral part of the Sardinian food scene, a fact which might surprise most visitors who see this glorious island only in the summer time, when its landscape is parched and river beds dried up. When the island is rich and green, however, all kinds of delicious game, from baby wild boar to plump pheasant, finds its way into the pot.

If you cannot get partridges, use poussins.
