Smothered Pheasant
This is a recipe that packs a ton of flavor into a single pheasant breast. There is no doubt that you will absolutely love it!
Ingredients
- 1 pheasant breast
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Medium Onion
- 2-3 Cloves Garlic Large cloves
- 1 Cup Sherry Cooking Wine
- 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 Lemon Squeezed
- 1/2 tsp Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Marjoram
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 1 Can Ro-Tel Original
- 1 Green Bell Pepper and/or Banana Peppers Sliced
- 1 Cup Crushed Tomatoes
Instructions
- Cut pheasant breast in two pieces, disjoint legs and wings, so there are eight pieces (including the breast)
- Brown pheasant in a little butter in large deep skillet.
- Remove pheasant and set aside.
- Chop one medium onion fine, two or three large cloves of garlic, chopped fine and sauté in same skillet.
- Add to the sautéed onion and garlic one cup sherry cooking wine and half cup olive oil, and juice from half an lemon.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon marjoram, salt and pepper, one can Ro-Tel (original), the sliced pepper, and 1 cup crushed tomatoes.
- Replace pheasant into the skillet (making sure all pieces are turned and coated in the mixture) reduce the heat to a simmer and cook covered approx. one hour.
- Check occasionally and turn the pieces when needed.
- Heat crushed tomatoes, and add peppers. Just before the pheasant is finished, prepare the pasta (I prefer spaghetti) so it is done about the same time the pheasant is finished.
- When the pheasant is finished, remove to a warm plate, and place the cooked pasta in the skillet and coat well with the sauce.
Notes
This is a recipe that works well on all small game and upland game.
