ROAST PHEASANT



Roast Pheasant image

Follow these general instructions and you will get a lovely, moist bird. This technique also works with ruffed grouse, chickens and guinea hens. Serve with a nice white wine, some mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choice. A good option is to cut up some carrots, potatoes, parsnips, celery root and turnips and roast them with the birds. I have a similar recipe for roast partridge, if you are looking for something a little different.

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 whole pheasants
8 cups water
1/2 cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 bay leaves, (optional)
1 tablespoon crushed juniper berries, (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil or softened butter
Black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Brine the bird. Make a brine by bringing the water, salt, bay leaves, juniper and sugar to a boil. Cover and let cool to room temperature. When it cools, submerge your pheasant in the brine and keep it in the fridge for 4 to 8 hours. The longer you brine, the saltier the pheasant will become. I brine pen-raised birds for 4 hours, old roosters for 8 hours.
  • Optional step: If you really want a crispy skin, take the birds out of the brine and set them uncovered in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours. This dries out the skin (but not the meat} and helps you get crispier skin.
  • When you are ready to cook, take the pheasant out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour. Heat your oven. Get it to 500°F if possible, but at least 400°F. Give yourself at least 15 minutes of preheating, and up to a half hour. Oil the bird. You can do this with olive oil or you can smear butter all over it. Crack some black pepper over the bird.
  • Stuff with a piece of onion or apple and a few fresh herbs. A cut lemon is a good choice, too. Do not pack the cavity. Truss the bird if you want. I do this often because it helps the pheasant cook more evenly. (Here's a video on how to truss a chicken, which is basically the same thing as a pheasant.)
  • Roast the pheasant uncovered for 15 minutes at your high temperature. Take the pheasant out and lower the temperature to 350°F. Leave your oven door open to speed this process.
  • Optional step: Baste the bird with either butter or a glaze. When I do this, I like to use a boiled-down combination of butter and maple syrup.
  • Return the pheasant to the oven and roast uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes. You want the internal temperature of the thigh meat to be about 155°F to 160°F and for the bird's juices to run pretty clear. A little pink in the juice - and in the bird - is what you want. The higher end of this cooking time will give you a well-done bird, which I try to avoid but many people prefer.
  • Remove the pheasant and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time is vital, as it lets the juices redistribute within the pheasant. It will also finish off the cooking process through carry-over heating.

Provided by Barbara Rolek

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Lunch

Time 1h50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the Marinade:
1/3 cup wine (dry red or white wine or plain water)
3 tablespoons vinegar (red wine or balsamic)
2 tablespoons shallots (minced)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
1 tablespoon​ fresh basil (chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram (chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
For the Pheasant:
1 whole pheasant (farm-raised, 2- to 3-pounds, washed and patted dry)
Optional: salt
1 small onion (peeled and cut in half)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine wine (or water), vinegar, shallots, olive oil, sugar, garlic, dry mustard, oregano, basil, marjoram, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  • Sprinkle salt in the inside cavity of the pheasant, if desired. Place the whole bird in the marinade, moving it around so the marinade reaches all parts of the bird. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 325 F.
  • Remove the pheasant from marinade, but do not rinse it off.
  • Place bird in a lidded roasting pan that is just slightly bigger than the bird. Place bird, breast-side up in the roasting pan. Place the halved onion in the cavity of the bird. Cover and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, baste bird and let it continue to roast for approximately 30 more minutes without the lid so it will brown. The pheasant is done when the thighs move easily and the juices run clear.
  • Remove the pheasant and allow the meat to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving and serving.

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.

2 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 cup olive oil
1 whole pheasant, cleaned
salt and ground black pepper to taste

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 clove of garlic
Coarse salt
Juice of 2 tangerines, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peel and 1 tangerine, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch lengths
1/2 pound white new potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
4 large ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 pheasant, about 2 1/2 pounds
2 sprigs fresh tarragon, or flat-leaf parsley
1/2 tart apple, cored and cut in pieces
2 shallots, peeled and halved
3 to 4 sprigs fresh sage, plus extra for garnish
3 slices turkey bacon
1/8 cup defatted chicken broth

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mince the garlic with the salt; place in a bowl. Add the tangerine juice and peel, 1 tablespoon olive oil, dried tarragon, and pepper. Set aside.
  • 2. Blanch the carrots and potatoes for 7 to 8 minutes in boiling water. Drain and place in a bowl with the tomatoes. Reserve.
  • 3. Carefully loosen breast skin of the pheasant; place a sprig of tarragon underneath each side of the breast. Replace the skin neatly. Squeeze the halved tangerine into the cavity, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the apple pieces, shallots, and sage in the cavity; tie legs together with kitchen string.
  • 4. Place reserved vegetables in a small roasting pan. Toss with garlic-tangerine mixture. Place the pheasant, breast side up, on top of the vegetables. Brush pheasant with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Lay bacon slices over the breast. Pour broth in the bottom of the pan.
  • 5. Roast in the center of the oven for 1 hour, basting 2 or 3 times. Remove bacon and continue to roast until the breast is brown and the pheasant is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes longer. Test for doneness with tip of a knife in the thickest part of the thigh. The juices should run clear. Let pheasant rest 10 minutes before carving.
  • 6. Carve the pheasant, remove to a serving platter and surround with the vegetables. Spoon some of the juices over top. Serve extra juices alongside. Garnish with fresh sage.
