ROASTED PHEASANT RECIPE

2 pheasants
6 slices bacon
1 onion, sliced
1 TBS butter, melted
1 carrot
1 celery rib, roughly chopped
1/4 cup port wine
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup homemade chicken broth
1 tart apple, peeled and chopped
1 TBS butter
1 TBS powdered sugar
1 TBS fresh parsley
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

PREHEAT the oven to 350 degrees and spray a roasting pan with vegetable oil.

Place the vegetables in the bottom of the roasting pan. Brush the pheasant with the melted butter and season salt and pepper. Truss if necessary and place on top of the vegetables. Roast for approximately 1 hour or until the meat is no longer pink.

Meanwhile, place the chopped apple in a bowl and add sugar, lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Toss well.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 TBS of butter and add the apple. Stir frequently until caramelized and soft; approximately 5 minutes.

When the pheasant is done, transfer to a cutting board and pour the drippings into the saucepan with the caramelized apple. Add the port and the broth and bring to a boil. Drain through a small sieve reserving the liquid. Add the heavy whipping cream and boil for a couple of minutes. Place the roasted vegetables and pheasant on a serving platter and pour the sauce over all.

This is a wonderful pheasant recipe. Serve with homemade bread.

SIMPLE GRILLED PHEASANT RECIPE

pheasant breasts, cut into 3 pieces
jalapeno slices
a purple onion, sliced
bacon slices
Italian dressing, recipe below

Cut the fillet into 3 semi-equal pieces. Put a slice of jalapeno and a slice of purple onion between 2 pieces of the pheasant. Wrap in bacon and marinate in zesty Italian dressing.

Grill until bacon is cooked. It's heaven all up in your mouth.

Sometimes I like to use Italian Dressing to marinate turkey, chicken, and steak, so here is a homemade dry mix you can make ahead and add oil and vinegar when ready to use. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY.

1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 TBS onion powder
2 TBS oregano
1 TBS dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1 TBS white sugar
1 TBS kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried celery leaves or flakes

Mix ingredients together and store in a tightly closed container in a cool and dry place.

To make dressing:
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 TBS water
2 TBS Italian Dressing Mix (above)

Shake well and chill the night before you use it.
