Picture of Rachel B

I absolutely love cooking with game – I'm a country girl, a farmer's daughter, and it's part of my life. People often don't realize how versatile – and how healthy - game is to cook and eat. There's a huge variety available – from snipe and partridge to venison and hare, and so many ways of preparing it, from traditional old-fashioned and delicious roast pheasant wrapped in bacon to a modern-day venison
burger stuffed with blue cheese. - Rachel Green.

Cooking Time: 0 Hours & 15 Mins

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

Place 1 sprig of thyme, 3 juniper berries, and salt and pepper inside each woodcock, then cover the breasts with the bacon. Tie them up for roasting, then season on the outside.

Heat the goose fat in a pan and seal the woodcock on all sides. Place into the pre heated oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes, depending on size, making sure they are not overcooked, allow to rest for 5 minutes when removed from oven.

To serve, remove the breasts and legs from the woodcock, and pour jus roti around.

Saute a selection of wild mushrooms in season, and arrange on woodcock.

Serving Suggestion

Suitable garnishes – braised cabbage, bacon, brussel sprouts and wood chestnuts.
