Prepare the Marinade

Combine the marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth. Depending on the size of the blender, this may need to be done in batches.

Marinade the Grouse

Put the grouse in a bag or small container and add the marinade.

 

Leave in the fridge for 4-6 hours. Once marinaded, remove the grouse, and dry with kitchen roll.

Cook the Grouse

Then roast the grouse for 15-20 minutes at 180°C, basting well. For a pink centre, heat to a core temperature of 58°C. Allow to rest, then serve with the coleslaw.

Prepare the Coleslaw Sauce

Combine the honey, hot sauce, mustard, white pepper, garlic, vinegar, lemon, jalapeño, and olive oil in a jar or bowl to make the dressing.

 

Shake hard for about 2 minutes to emulsify, and set aside. Be sure to shake it well before each future use.

Serve the Coleslaw

Arrange the cabbage, coleslaw, carrots, spring onions and mango in a bowl.

 

Just before serving add the dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley and almonds.

 

You may chill at this point – serve when ready.
