No. 4047 — Restoring Spoiled Hazel Grouse
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 4047 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
The source proposes soaking cleaned and gutted hazel grouse in cold water and then cold milk.
It then heats the birds until the liquid boils once, removes them and roasts them.
Historical editorial note: Spoiled poultry must be discarded. Soaking, boiling or roasting does not reliably destroy all toxins associated with spoilage.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 4047. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
