Presentation

Pour some of the thickened soup together with diced tomatoes, onions and peppers over the base of a plate. Place the thrush on top and add a little of the cooking liquid. Decorate with aromatic herbs and some wild berries.

Chef's Remark:

"The thrush is one of the liveliest and smallest of game birds. Its diet is varied, but thrushes in Extremadura especially love to feed on olives, which makes their meat tasty and firm."
