Sausage and Grouse country style!

[LABS4ME]

I had a couple of Grouse breast from a quick hunt my son and took the other weekend... wanted to try to make something a little different... I think it turned out fantastic!

Ingredients:

1 lb. bulk mild Italian sausage (I used venison but store bought works too)

1/2 lb. of ring Smoked Sausage or Kielbasa - sliced diagonally

2-3 grouse, pheasant or chicken boneless breasts - sliced in long strips

1 green pepper - slice in thin strips

1 red pepper - slice in thin strips

1/4 - 1/3 red chili or salsa pepper finely diced

1 large white onion quartered then cut in half again

3 medium cloves of garlic

1 4oz. can tomatoe paste

3-4 fresh Roma tomatos diced

Italian seasoning

salt and pepper

Mostacioli noodles

-Brown bulk Italian sausage and crumble, drain grease and set aside

-put a tblsp or 2 of olive oil back in skillet heat on medium and sautee grouse strips, peppers and onions, 3 cloves of garlic - pressed, salt and pepper, till tender and then add in the sliced smoked sausage, continue cooking over low till sausage is hot

-return Italian sausage to pan and mix in one can of tomatoe paste. Season to taste with Italian seasoning

-At this point I realized the sauce was too thick... I didn't have any wine to add to thin so instead I used 2-4 oz. of Killians Red beer to thin it out a little...

- stir in tomatos, cover and simmer while cooking noodles

Serve over Mostacioli topped with shredded parmesan. I served it with warmed-buttered Italian bread and ceasar salad

Good Luck!

Labs,

This one is printed and going to get a shot! Sounds great and I have some pheasants that could be tried out a little differently. We love pheasant sweet and sour and the creamed pheasant so this sounds totally different.
