Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 thrushes; larding fat; 18 fluid oz. dry white wine; 20 juniper berries; 1 onion; 3 cloves garlic, peeled; 3 pinches thyme; 1 pinch cayenne pepper; sliced bread; 2 Tbsp. olive oil

Servings: persons

1
Six hours before cooking is to begin, pluck, singe, lard and truss the thrushes.
2
They should not be drawn. Put the birds into a deep dish just big enough to hold them in one layer.
3
Cover with the white wine, juniper berries, sliced onion, garlic cut in half, thyme and cayenne pepper.
4
Leave to marinate for 6 hours at room temperature, turning the birds every hour. Toast 6 slices of bread lightly and arrange in a dripping pan so they will catch the cooking juices of the thrushes. Dab the thrushes dry with the kitchen paper.
5
Smear with olive oil.
6
Put them on a skewer and grill for 10 to 15 minutes, ideally in front of a blaze of vine branches.
7
Scoop out the insides of each bird and spread on the pieces of toast.
8
Put the thrushes on top and serve.
