Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole large pheasant breast, split and boned
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 dried morels, brushed off
2 large shallots, peeled and chopped
2 large white mushrooms, wiped clean, trimmed and sliced thin
2 tablespoons brandy
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons chicken demi-glace
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Flatten pheasant breasts slightly with a mallet or rolling pin, then rub with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and season with black pepper.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat in a 9-inch skillet. When it foams, sear the pheasant, skin side down, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate, cover and keep warm.
  • Steep the dried morels in 1/2 cup hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain and strain, reserving the soaking liquid. Discard stems and slice caps thinly.
  • Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet and saute the shallots for 2 minutes, until golden, then add the morels and mushrooms for 1 minute. Remove to a bowl and keep warm.
  • Boil the reserved soaking liquid with the brandy and white wine until reduced by 1/2, about 1 minute, then whisk in the cream and demi-glace and boil about 1 minute, until sauce is thickened and smooth. Whisk in the remaining lemon juice and the cayenne.
  • Place the pheasant breasts skin side up on hot serving plates and top each with half the mushroom mixture, then the sauce.
  • Enclose each breast with (ideally) a glass cover. Alert your guests to the olfactory possibilities, so they don't blow the experience the way I did. Once they are seated and you have their attention, lift the cover and fan the essence toward them, if necessary.
