The week I acquired poultry shears virtually anything on legs was spatchcocked – poussins work especially well. Use the edges and fat from foie gras, not the prize centre, for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 poussins
  • salt, milled pepper
  • 30 g(1 oz

Method

Use shears or strong scissors to cut up through the backbone of the poussins. I think this gives a more delicious result than cutting through the breast bone. Place each bird flat on a roasting or grilling pan and season with salt and pepper.

Place the birds under a hot grill for 20–25 minutes, turning them over once.

Meanwhile cream the foie gras with the butter and bran
