You know what they say Daz? I think you two are flirting. I feel a bit put out!

Yeah you just cook it like your making Christmas Dinner...only without the hassle hopefully The only time I had one it was necessary to remove the shot...its similar to removing bones. Okay I dont know..just do some vegetables and drop a bit of red wine in the sauce. |

This recipe is particularly suited to older birds; such as grouse, quail or partridge.
Insert 1 juniper berry into the cavity of each bird. In a heavy skillet, brown the birds in butter, season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place in a casserole atop braising vegetables (equal amounts of chopped carrots, celery and onions). Add sufficient stock to cover the vegetables almost completely; pour in the brandy, add the bay leaf, thyme and parsley; and arrange fresh mushrooms around the birds.
Cover the casserole and bake in 400° F. oven until birds are tender. The time will vary, naturally, with the age and size of the birds.
