- In another sauce pan melt some butter and garlic, then add the rainbow chard in to wilt. Season with salt and add a dash of white wine and bit of chicken stock.
- Return to the mushrooms which will have reduced nicely by now and add in a splash of cream. Dice up some bacon and add to the mushroom to cook off. Adjust for seasoning if needed.
- In a third oven-safe pan, heat up a glug of oil. Oil up the grouse and stuff with some fresh thyme. Place the grouse in and colour on all sides to seal. Place a few strips of bacon on top and pop into the oven to finish cooking for 8-10 mins.
- Plate up the spinach (leave the residual cooking liquors in the pan), creamy girolles, and the grouse with bacon. Spoon over some of the wine jus from the spinach pan and serve!
