Your favorite grouse recipe

[boilerroom]

I hope this is the right place to post this...

I've got a half dozen grouse left in the freezer I'd like to get cooked up... breasted with legs attached.

What's your favorite grouse recipe?

thanks,

I tried something new this year crushed up plain ripple chips and cut into chicken strips this was out in the field and they were tasty

[07blackwater]

Simmered in mushroom soup then over wild rice.

Curried grouse is a camp favourite too.

Grouse Fettuccine Alfredo.

So far best recipe i've used grouse for, Buddies wife cooked some up for us this past hunting trip and i was hooked. Simply debone, cut up into chunks, pan fry add salt/pepper and any other spices you'd like, then add a jar of alfredo sauce, toss on top of pasta, yumm yumm..

Also have done butter "grouse" instead of chicken on basmati rice with nann bread, again top notch !

[BigfishCanada]

I was blown away with my buddy Pauls suggestion, hammer it with a meat hammer, when your fry or cook up after the meat is 100 times better. I find it real tough if you dont

[boilerroom]

Awesome guys, thanks! I've got a few to try!!

Simmered in mushroom soup then over wild rice.

Curried grouse is a camp favourite too.similiar, simmer de-boned chunks in oven with mushroom soup and sour cream for 1 hour, add cooked pasta(macaroni), top with swiss cheese(parmesan), bake additional 1/2 hour

[Gone_Fishin_]

Take the whole grouse bone in and place in middle of crock pot or oven dish... surround it with potatoes peeled sliced into 1/4's, place carrots, mushrooms and some cut up celery around it was well. Cover in a jar of favorite pasta sauce, bake at 425 for 1 hour or more. Or crock pot and simmer all day.

Use this for chicken all the time and substitute for grouse when i have it.

[frenchbar]

I like cutting into pieces marinade in roasted red pepper salad dressing then quick fried in a pan served over rice

[303savage]

I like to pluck them and stuff em like a turkey.

[moosinaround]

Butter grouse is fantastic! I like to take the whole breast bone in, and bake it with a little BBQ sauce. I also like to make nuggets with them as well, with red pepper jelly! Moosin

[07blackwater]

One time I made kebabs and they went really fast.
Marinade grouse chunks and double smoked bacon in teriyaki over night.
Wrap the grouse in the bacon, skewer then grill.

[markomoose]

Sweet and Sour Grouse over rice is a camp tradition.Of course with your fave adult beverage. Cheers Mark

I find it real tough if you dont This was the only way my Mother cooked Grouse, she'd pound it out, then roll it up with a slice of black forest ham and a slice of Gouda or Monteray Jack cheese, then a quick fry with butter, salt, pepper and a touch of garlic, we called it "Grama's Grouse "Cor don Bleu"!

[Foxton Gundogs]

Bingo! I make grouse fingers about once a month.

[guntech]

Old freezer grouse... you need to sprinkle a little red wine on the meat as it thaws... then drink the bottle and feed the dogs...

Tough?

The rule with grouse (as with most game) is either eat it rare or cook it low and slow. I prefer my grouse rare.

Anywhere in the middle and it gets tough.

Three cheese grouse

2 ounces of shredded Monteray Jack cheese

Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes together in a med sized bowl.
Whisk milk and egg together. Carefully dip grouse breasts, first in flour, the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs to completely coat breasts.
Arrange on a cookie sheet and place in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts. Enjoy!

great thread. one thing we all manage to put in the freezer every year.

are there any regions of BC that don't have grouse? i can't think of any.

i chop and sautee some onion, peppers and some garlic in a light oil, then mix in some Patak's hot curry paste until the whole mess is reddish brown. Next, add cubed grouse meat and cook to your desired doneness. Alone or over rice or mashed potatoes, this is a delicious and quick way to eat some of nature's finest.

[ACB]

Just a little salt and pepper, cut into 1in. chunks, lightly fried so still juicy so you can taste what a grouse tastes like, nothing fancy and better off fresh.

[Gone_Fishin_]

Just cooked up some grouse for dinner !

Covered bottom of ceramic baking dish with spinache spaghetti sauce, placed grouse breasts in middle, cut red potatoes in half, placed around outside of pan. Filled in gaps with peeled chopped carrots/celery/mushrooms. Sprinkle salt/pepper/garlic on top, Covered with remaining jar of spaghetti sauce. In the oven covered at 400 for 45-60 or until potatoes are cooked. Broil high for few minutes near end.

Awesome...

[Wild one]

For ruffies and blues battered in onion soup mix, flour, and spices than pan fried in bacon grease

Spruce stir fry in teriyaki. ginger, garlic, salt, pepper and a mix of veg. For veg I like mushrooms, red peppers, broccoli, bean sprouts, sweet peas, and carrots. Throw this on top of rice and your good to go

Both simple and good

[OKsean]

Prisciutto wrapped grouse w/ thyme and veg:
- leave breasts on bone
- drizzle w/ olive oil
- put a few sprigs of thyme on the underside of breasts, then wrap in prisciutto
- roast w/ some veg; carrots, onions and a clove or two of garlic, or whatever you like
- fill roasting pan w/ about 3/4 inch of chicken stock, keeps things nice and moist
- cook at 350 until done

[Redneck Rocket]

I love a grouse Pot Pie. And this technique has the advantage of getting all the meat off the bone and not wasting any.

Quick sautee of some onions/garlic in a dutch oven. Throw 2 or 3 birds in with some water or stock, little bit of white wine and put the dutch oven into the oven at about 200 degrees for a couple of hours. Pull it out, and if you give a gentle stir, most of the meat will fall off. From here I like to pour the whole thing through a strainer into a pot, strip the meat off the carcass and pull any bones that fell off out of the strainer. Chuck all the meat/onions into the broth in the pot, throw whatever veggies you like (a frozen corn/carrots/peas mix is easy but broccoli is nice, some potatoes whatever you like.) Salt & pepper it all to taste, and add some milk or cream. Pull some broth out and whisk some flour or cornstarch in, stir back into the mix, simmer to thicken it.

Once you have a nice consistency, spoon the mix into a bunch of pie plates, throw some crusts on the top (I just buy the pre-made ones.) Wrap them and put them in the freezer and then they are oven-ready.

If I bag 3+ grouse I like to make a batch like this, makes 5 or 6 pies, and they you have some easy meals for busy week nights!

[Sofa King]

simple cubed, floured, and fried.

[gitnadoix]

1) hike about 10 km away from any road or trail
2) shoot grouse with a long bow
3) jam a stick into the breast and hold it over a very small fire till done
4) eat with your hands and watch the sun set

you'll never have a better meal :p
