Thank you to Great Glen Charcuterie for providing this fantastic grouse starter

 

INGREDIENTS:

Small loaf of sourdough bread

Soft goat cheese or curd

Smoked grouse breasts thinly sliced

Rocket leaves 50g hazelnuts

Handful of brambles

2 tbsp orange juice

Rapeseed or olive oil

Salt and pepper

 

METHODS:

Slice the bread in even slices and grill on both sides for a nice crust.

Toast the hazelnuts briefly and crush into small pieces.

Bring the brambles slowly to the boil with the orange juice until soft.

Push the mixture through a sieve with the back of a spoon.

Mix the cooled bramble juice with the a few tablespoons of oil and season with a little salt and pepper to make the bramble sauce.

Take a crostini and spread the goats cheese on top, add a few leaves of rocket and top with a couple of slices of grouse breast. Drizzle with bramble sauce and garnish with crushed hazelnuts.

These Smoked Grouse Crostini’s make a nice sharing starter or make them smaller for canapés.
