Re: Pheasant Recipes??
I cook pheasant like I was taught to cook duck by my (Czech) grandmother and mother. Roast it and serve it with red cabbage. This is a good roast bird recipe (it's based on a 3-5 lb bird, reduce as necessary for the size of the bird. It totally kicks ass if you serve it with red cabbage and potato dumplings.
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (a bit more if you like)
salt to taste
several sliced garlic cloves
2 cups water
Clean and wash bird. Sprinkle with salt and caraway seeds inside and out. Take the slices of garlic and slit the muscle under the skin and insert the garlic randomly. Pour 1 cup water into roasting pan, put in bird breast down, cover and roast in a 350 degree oven for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Turn and roast, uncovered, for about another hour. During roasting, pierce skin several times, skim off excess fat, and add more water as needed.
