Time 2h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup wild rice
2 1/4 cups water
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup finely diced celery
2 tablespoons Sherry
1 pheasant with giblets (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 whole onion, peeled and halved
1/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the rice, 2 cups of the water, salt to taste and the bay leaf in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil and stir and simmer for 45 minutes, or until done. Remove the bay leaf and drain. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan, add the chopped onions and celery. Cook, stirring, over low heat until the vegetables are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the Sherry, the drained rice and salt and pepper to taste. Blend well and let cool.
  • Spoon the rice mixture into the pheasant cavity and truss.
  • Place the pheasant in a shallow roasting pan, season with salt and pepper to taste. Rub with the oil. Lay the pheasant on one side and scatter the neck, the gizzard and onion halves around it.
  • Place the roasting pan in the bottom rack and bake the pheasant for 20 minutes, basting occasionally. Turn the pheasant on its other side and bake for 20 minutes more, basting occasionally. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees and remove the fat from the roasting pan. Place the pheasant on its back. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, the chicken broth and the remaining quarter cup of water and roast, basting occasionally, for 20 minutes more, or until browned all over.
  • Place the roasting pan on top of the stove; untruss the pheasant, remove from the pan and set aside for carving. Bring the gravy in the pan to a boil for 30 seconds, stirring and scraping to deglaze.
  • Carve the pheasant; serve with hot gravy and the stuffing.

The stuffing was bland and lacked flavor. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it a boost.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pheasant was overcooked. I think I'll try cooking it for less time next time.
