Posting this per a request. I haven't tried it, but it comes from a much loved book-The Poultry and Game Cookbook. It's supposedly a Bavarian recipe.

Categories     Pheasant

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 -2 pheasant
10 slices fatty bacon, rinds removed
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Drain the excess fat from the pan, reduce the heat and pour the wine over the pheasants.
  • Add the peppercorns and bayleaves and bring the wine to simmering point.
  • Cover the pan tightly and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the birds are almost tender.
  • Pack the sauerkraut around the sides of the birds and pour the beer over.
  • Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then add the sausage, cover and heat through.
  • To serve, carefully lift the pheasants from the pan.
  • Snip the string and remove without disturbing the bacon.
  • Place the birds on a warmed serving dish and keep hot.
  • Remove the sausage and set aside for a moment.
  • Adjust the seasonings of the sauerkrat before arranging it around the pheasants.
  • Discard the bayleaves and peppercorns if you find them.
  • Quickly cut the sausage into 1cm slices and lay over the sauerkraut.
  • Using snips or poultry shears, cut into halves or quarters to serve, trying not to disturb the bacon slices.

The pheasant was a bit dry, but the sauerkraut was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the pheasant for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
