Grouse & Wild Rice

Ingredients:
2/3 cup Wild rice
2 cup Chicken broth
1/4 cup Butter
8 Grouse breast filets
3 Eggs [beaten]
1 cup Flour
Garlic salt, oregano, and Basil to taste
2 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Chicken broth
4oz Mozzarella cheese [sliced]
Combine the wild rice with 2 cups of broth and 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan, cover and cook until tender. (keep warm)
Rinse grouse filets and pat dry. Pound the filets between waxed paper with meat mallet until tender, then combine with the eggs in a bowl. Let stand for 1 hour.
Combine the flour, oregano, garlic salt, basil, and pepper to taste in a bowl and roll the filets in this flour mixture, coating well.
Brown on both sides in 2 tbsp. butter in a skillet. Then add enough broth to cover the bottom of the pan and simmer filets, covered, for 10 min.
Place 1/2 slice of cheese on each filet and cook `til cheese is melted. Serve with the rice.

Grilled Grouse

Ingredients:
Breasts and legs from 2 grouse
Salt water solution
Large sheet of heavy-duty foil
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt, or to taste
Black pepper
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 slice onion
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Bone grouse breasts, discarding bones. Soak breasts and legs in salt water for about an hour to draw out any blood. Arrange breasts and legs side by side on shiny side of foil. Place pats of butter on grouse pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Top with pepper and onion slices. Fold edges of foil up slightly to form a rim, and add wine and oil to packet. Roll-fold top of foil together, then roll-fold side in to form a neat, well-sealed packet. Place on preheated grill and cover the grill. Cook for about 35 minutes, then check for tenderness. It should be ready at this point, but may need a little additional cooking time if the grouse were older. The oil and butter keep the meat juicy in this recipe.
