Pheasant in Sherry
This classic recipe comes from Ringneck! Pheasants & Pheasant Hunting by E.C. James.
How To:
Split a pheasant into halves. Put 2 tbsp of butter into a hot frying pan (with lid)
and melt. Flour the two pieces of pheasant and brown both sides in the butter, then
remove.
Next, add flour (enough to make a paste) to the remaining drippings in the pan.
Add cream sherry a little at a time, stirring on low heat and bringing to a slow boil.
Continue to add sherry until the mixture, after boiling, is the consistency of a medium
cream sauce. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste, a large dash of poultry seasoning,
salt and pepper.
Turn heat to very low, place the bird in the pan and cover it, turning the meat
occasionally. Cook at a bare simmer for 6 1/2 hours, at which time the meat should
fall from the bones.
Some Notes for a Phabulous Pheasant Pheast:
Consider de-boning the pheasant, flouring the pieces, and quick
frying it. Delicious!
Use close to a half bottle or so of sherry to acquire a good consistency and follow
the boiling rule.
Cover the pan and place the pheasant and sauce in the oven at 250 degrees for 1-1/2 to
2 hours. This should be sufficient time for the smaller, de-boned pieces.
How about some crimini or morel mushrooms for a more savory dish?
