Grouse Pie

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Clean and halve the grouse lengthways, removing the drumsticks and tucking in the legs.
Place a good steak at the bottom of a pie dish and add the grouse on top.
Season the grouse well and cover with a light pastry.
Add a little water to the dish and bake for 1.5 hours.
Fasten a few of the feet on the pastry cover and garnish with a small spray of heath before serving.
