Pheasant Recipe anyone??

[betty boop]

Hi all, vegetarians can stop reading because I dont want to offend anyone .............



Ok my dad belongs to a local game shoot and at this time of year he regularly brings me pheasants.

I have that I am going to cook tomorrow and i'm looking for new ideas, i've done usual things like wrapping it in bacon, but just wondered if anyone here has any ideas ........

thanks, BB xx

Hello Betty,
I usually don't like to fritz around with the bird too much, because of it's delicously delicate flavour. I just wrap the breast in bacon strips to keep it from drying out and I baste it a lot.
For variation I like to use the juice of a freshly squeezed orange and augment the sauce with it when I deglaze it.
Or you could use some soaked dried Porcini mushrooms and ad that to the sauce.
I like to serve it with wild Canadian rice, it goes so well together.
Bon appetite, I am so jealous. Watch out for the buckshot - I nearly lost a tooth once.
Enjoy,
Lori

Poor, poor little Pheasants!

Just kidding, I had to say it. Never had it, and would be scared to try it. I am sure whatever you come up with will be just fine.

Thanks Lori,

We have it such a lot that I wanted some new ideas .... by the way, I don't mean to gloat, when people from other countries mention shrimps and crab and lobster etc .. I am so jealous because they are sooo expensive over here .........

BTW I do have to pluck and prepare them myself .........
