  • About

This is a perfect way of cooking the slightly older birds you buy later in the season. Some people actually prefer grouse cooked this way, whatever the age.

Ingredients

  • 1 grouse per person
  • apples
  • butter
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • streaky bacon

Method

Place a piece of apple and a knob of butter inside each bird. Season inside and out with salt and pepper and wrap well in streaky bacon. Stand in lcm/½in of water in a roasting tin and cover with a lid of foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 150°C/300°F/Gas 2 for 45 minutes
