Elegant Pheasant image

An elegant and creamy dish which uses simple ingredients to enhance the flavor of the bird. What could be better than legendary rosemary and savory Dijon mustard as partners.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup kosher salt
2 quarts water
4 skinless pheasant breast halves
1 (16 ounce) package herb seasoned stuffing mix, crushed
2 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Stir the kosher salt into the water until dissolved. Soak the pheasant breasts in the brine for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the herb seasoned stuffing mix crumbs into a shallow bowl; set aside. Whisk the butter, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl until evenly mixed.
  • Remove the pheasant breasts from the brine. Rinse in the sink, and pat dry with paper towels. Season the breasts to taste with salt and pepper if desired. Roll the breasts in the mayonnaise mixture, then press into the stuffing mix crumbs until covered on all sides. Gently shake excess crumbs from the breasts, and place into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pheasant breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. Turn the oven off, remove the foil, and allow the breasts to cook 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This was a good recipe, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more herbs and spices to the sauce, and I would also cook the pheasant for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a disaster. The pheasant was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too gamey for my taste. I think I would prefer a different recipe next time.

I wasn't sure how pheasant would taste, but I was pleasantly surprised. The meat was very tender and had a slightly gamey flavor. The sauce was also very good, and it complemented the pheasant perfectly.
