ROAST PHEASANT
This is a quick simple recipe for fresh pheasant that has a very autumn feel to it. It is very good with potatoes, carrots and seasonal squash (I like acorn squash) diced and roasted in the pan with it. You can cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter time; just be sure to baste often since it is a very dry meat.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Stir the chopped rosemary and thyme into the olive oil and set aside. Rub the pheasant inside and out with salt and pepper. Place into a close-fitting roasting pan. Pour the herb oil over top.
- Bake the pheasant in the preheated oven for 1 hour, then cover with aluminum foil, and continue baking an additional hour, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone reads 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing. Baste the pheasant with the hot oil and juices from the pan every 30 minutes while cooking.

PHEASANT IN WINE SAUCE
The original of this is in The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking edited Charlotte Turgeon. I only had one chance to try cooking pheasant, and this is the recipe I used. While the original recipe calls for clear stock, and that's what I have written in my "family cookbook" I think I may have used chicken broth instead. I have to admit that I'm not sure, as it was so long ago. I served the pheasant with peas and pearl onions, mashed potatoes, and we had baked Alaska for dessert.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a wild pheasant that has been hung for at least 24 hours.
- To prevent the pheasant from drying out, baste it with the wine sauce every 20 minutes while roasting.
- If you don't have a roasting rack, you can place the pheasant directly on a baking sheet. Just be sure to turn it halfway through the cooking time so that it cooks evenly.
- To make the wine sauce, use a dry red wine that is full-bodied and has a fruity flavor.
- If you don't have any chicken stock, you can use water instead. However, the sauce will not be as flavorful.
- Serve the roasted pheasant with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
