Notes:
- Grouse Selection: When choosing grouse, look for fresh, plump birds with firm flesh. This ensures the best flavor and texture in your dish.
- Creamy Texture: The cream adds a luxurious richness to the sauce. For a lighter option, you can use half-and-half or milk, though the sauce may not be as thick.
- Toast Variation: Instead of rice, try serving this dish over toasted bread slices for a comforting twist.
- Garnish Ideas: Fresh herbs like thyme or sage can also be used to garnish, adding a pop of color and herbaceous flavor.
- Make it Ahead: This dish reheats beautifully, making it a great option for meal prep or leftovers. Simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
