Bird grouse in the average net weight of about 3 to 4 lbs. Legs and wings removed for taxidermy purposes, but the meat they cut off and returned back to the body:) Autumn grouse better spring. It smells good and it is not necessary to soak. It feeds on cranberries, so smell twice as nice.

Next, I cut out almost all the bones, they are big and fill their dishes makes no sense. Especially for all the bones and trimming the dog said thank you. Meat color resembles veal, without any peculiar smell of pine needles, for which he valued. Shares in pieces, I soaked the meat for a couple of hours in cold water, changing the water several times.

Salt and add spices. I have a ready-made mixture, but you can add everything separately in a rock or powdered form. This garlic, coriander, paprika, chilli, pepper and allspice, Basil, ginger, nutmeg. If you have something not - does not matter, you can do with traditional spices to the meat. Meat grouse is pleasant, it is not necessary to score the taste. Added spice mix three teaspoons.

A few hours in the marinade and you can fry in the pan. Under the hand was not even a drop of dry wine, and in General, better in the marinade add a glass of dry red wine. Meat dry before frying.

To fold into the skillet or shape, slice the carrots and pour 1 box of cream 500 ml, I have some water there was added. From top to pour in the olive oil. You can instead of butter lard slices of bacon. If no oven or casserole, meat you can cook just in a saucepan or original - in the pot in the oven.

It is important to stew the meat languished (!), ie boiled in cream, not baked. And so almost 3 hours. During this time I refilled there still two boxes of cream with oil, diluted with a little water. The meat was bubbling in the sauce bubbled, interfered and poured over the top resulting sauce.

The dish garnish is perfect mashed potatoes, fried cabbage, fresh vegetables and sweet soft rye bread. For lovers of exotic taste sensations recommend the pieces of grouse dipped in lingonberry sauce or jam. The recipe can be found in the web. Not currently have blueberry, but for a holiday do so: fresh cranberries whipped in a blender with sugar to taste and cook in a saucepan for just a few minutes. Bon appetit!
