SMOTHERED PHEASANT



Smothered Pheasant image

This is my mom's recipe for preparing the pheasants my dad would bring in during hunting season in Iowa. I use only the breasts from the birds, but you can use the other parts of the pheasant as well. This makes its own gravy that is delicious on mashed potatoes.

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 skinless, boneless pheasant breast halves
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter
2 cups half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Season the pheasant breasts on all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate, and press the pheasant breast into the flour until completely coated. Shake off excess flour and set aside. Melt the butter in an ovenproof Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat. Cook the pheasant breasts in the hot butter until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Pour in the half-and-half cream and bring to a simmer; cover the Dutch oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pheasant breasts are tender and no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

EMERIL'S FAVORITE ROAST PHEASANT

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h22m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 38

3 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) farm-raised pheasants*, innards removed, wing tips and necks trimmed (See Cook's Note)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 orange, halved
3 sprigs fresh thyme
6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in half
1/4 cup Madeira
1 cup rich chicken stock
2 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding, recipe follows
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup sliced yellow onions
10 ounces assorted wild mushrooms, such as oyster, shitake, chanterelles, wood ear, or porcini
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup lager beer
5 large eggs
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
3/4 cup grated Gouda cheese
3/4 cup grated white cheddar cheese
3/4 pound stale white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon plain bread crumbs
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and position the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven.
  • Season the cavities and the outside of each pheasant liberally with salt and pepper. Divide the chopped onion and carrot equally among the cavities of the pheasants. Squeeze the juice from both halves of the orange and set aside. Cut 1 of the squeezed halves into 3 pieces, and tuck inside of the cavities along with the veggies. Insert 1sprig of thyme into the cavity of each pheasant.
  • Arrange the pheasants in a large roasting pan, breast sides up. Lay 2 strips of bacon over the top of each pheasant, cutting the bacon into pieces if necessary to cover as much of the pheasant as possible. Roast for 15 minutes, then remove the bacon strips and continue roasting for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear. (It is important to not overcook the pheasants, as they are very lean birds.) Remove the pheasants from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, loosely tented, while you make the sauce.
  • Using a spoon, carefully remove as much extra fat from the pan as possible. Place the roasting pan over high heat and, when hot, deglaze with the reserved orange juice and Madeira, using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. When the orange juice and Madeira have reduced by half, add the chicken stock and continue to cook until sauce has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 to 4 minutes. Swirl in the butter and remove from the heat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the back bone from each pheasant, then cut along the breast bone to divide the birds into two halves. Serve 1/2 pheasant per person, napped with some of the sauce and with some of the Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook until golden brown and tender, 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Essence, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 3/4 teaspoon of the pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender and have given off their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the beer and cook, stirring, to deglaze the pan and until the mixture is almost dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cream, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of Essence, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and whisk well to combine. Add the mushroom mixture and cheeses and stir well. Add the bread cubes and let sit until the bread has absorbed the liquid, 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with the butter. Add the bread crumbs, shaking to cover the bottom evenly. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour and uncover. Continue baking until risen and firm in the center, and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

ROAST PHEASANT



Roast Pheasant image

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.

Breast Of Pheasant With Sour-Cream Sauce image

Provided by Richard Flaste And Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless, skinless pheasant breasts, about 1/3 pound each
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the breasts with salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy nonstick skillet large enough to hold the pheasant breasts in one layer. Add the breasts and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until they are lightly browned. Turn the breasts and cook for 3 minutes more. Add the onions and thyme. Stir and cook until the onions are wilted. Add the wine to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Continute cooking until most of the wine evaporates.
  • Add the heavy cream and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the sour cream, blend well and bring to a boil, stirring until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings and serve very hot.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pheasant is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pheasant is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pheasant is done by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the pheasant is done.
  • To prevent the pheasant from drying out, baste it with the cream sauce every 20 minutes or so.
  • If you don't have any cream on hand, you can use milk or chicken broth instead.
  • To add more flavor to the dish, you can add some herbs or spices to the cream sauce. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, sage, or garlic powder.
  • Serve the pheasant with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Pheasant baked with cream is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pheasant is cooked until it is tender and juicy, and the cream sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is easy to make.
