Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pheasants, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds each
1/4 pound raw wild rice
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 pound mushrooms, chopped
1 stalk celery, minced
1 cup seedless grapes, unpeeled
1/4 to 1/2 cup dry Sherry
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wipe the pheasants with paper towels and leave them to air-dry overnight (or longer) in a cool place. Soak the rice overnight in water to cover. Drain.
  • Bring the chicken broth to a boil and slowly add the rice. Cover and simmer for one hour over low heat. Remove the rice from the pan and place it on paper towels to dry.
  • Melt the butter and saute the onions until they are soft. Add the mushrooms and celery and cook until the mushrooms begin to yield their juice.
  • Remove from the heat and add the grapes, Sherry and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the wild rice. Stuff into the cavity of the birds and truss.
  • Place the birds on a spit and roast, turning occasionally, for 40 minutes or until they are tender.
