Supreme

Grouse supreme is a neat breast portion, often with a cleaned wing-bone stub for elegant plating. It is an intensely gamey moorland bird, lean and aromatic of heather diet. Pan-roast skin-side down first if skin-on, finish gently, rest. Light jus keeps the meat central. Young birds roast fast; older birds need moist heat—never cook the breast grey.
