Comments: This excellent dish, whose recipe was provided by the owner of the Restaurant Gayango in Madrid, was adapted by him from the marinade hunters use to preserve partridge when many are bagged at once. A most convenient pre-prepared dish to have on hand for a hot day, it will keep for days or weeks.
