Swedish Pheasant (Or Chicken) in Gjetost Cream Sauce image

This is from "Best of Scandinavian Cooking".. Cjetost is a creamy, tan, Swedish cheese that has a rich, caramelly taste. It is really good just eaten with slices of raw apple too. I haven't made this yet.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pheasant, cut into pieces (or chicken, about 3 pounds)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
1/4 cup shredded gjetost cheese
vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle poultry with salt and pepper to taste. In a heavy frying pan, quickly brown poultry on all sides in melted butter.
  • Reduce heat to low. Pour cream over it. Cover and cook over low heat about 1 hour or until very tender. Turn pieces and stir cream in bottom of pan occasionally.
  • Remove bird to hot serving platter. Mix flour to a paste with a little of the milk. Stir in some of the simmering liquid from the frying pan. Cook and stir over low heat to blend. Gradually add milk, stirring to make a smooth sauce.
  • Just before serving, stir in cheese. Heat just until cheese is melted and blended. Taste sauce and correct seasoning if necessary. Stir in a few drops of vinegar if desired. Turn sauce into gravy boat. Pass it to put over the poultry.
  • NOTE: Vinegar gives a slightly sweet-sour character to the sauce; add if you prefer a sharper poultry sauce.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think it would be easier to just use a regular cream sauce.

The gjetost-cream sauce is a bit too rich for my taste, but other than that, this dish is delicious.
