EMERIL'S FAVORITE ROAST PHEASANT
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and position the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven.
- Season the cavities and the outside of each pheasant liberally with salt and pepper. Divide the chopped onion and carrot equally among the cavities of the pheasants. Squeeze the juice from both halves of the orange and set aside. Cut 1 of the squeezed halves into 3 pieces, and tuck inside of the cavities along with the veggies. Insert 1sprig of thyme into the cavity of each pheasant.
- Arrange the pheasants in a large roasting pan, breast sides up. Lay 2 strips of bacon over the top of each pheasant, cutting the bacon into pieces if necessary to cover as much of the pheasant as possible. Roast for 15 minutes, then remove the bacon strips and continue roasting for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear. (It is important to not overcook the pheasants, as they are very lean birds.) Remove the pheasants from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, loosely tented, while you make the sauce.
- Using a spoon, carefully remove as much extra fat from the pan as possible. Place the roasting pan over high heat and, when hot, deglaze with the reserved orange juice and Madeira, using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. When the orange juice and Madeira have reduced by half, add the chicken stock and continue to cook until sauce has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 to 4 minutes. Swirl in the butter and remove from the heat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Remove the back bone from each pheasant, then cut along the breast bone to divide the birds into two halves. Serve 1/2 pheasant per person, napped with some of the sauce and with some of the Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook until golden brown and tender, 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Essence, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 3/4 teaspoon of the pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender and have given off their liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the beer and cook, stirring, to deglaze the pan and until the mixture is almost dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cream, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of Essence, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and whisk well to combine. Add the mushroom mixture and cheeses and stir well. Add the bread cubes and let sit until the bread has absorbed the liquid, 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with the butter. Add the bread crumbs, shaking to cover the bottom evenly. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour and uncover. Continue baking until risen and firm in the center, and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Steps:
- Clean the pheasant. Be sure to rinse off any remaining feathers and inspect each bird for residual shotgun pellets. Use kitchen scissors to remove any pellets that you find.
- Once the birds are clean, soak in a tub or sink full of ice cold water for 30 minutes to remove any remaining blood.
- Once the pheasants have been cleaned and soaked, add 1 tblsp. of olive oil to the Instant Pot and preheat on the "Saute" setting. Once heated, add the pheasants and brown on each side (about 3 minutes on each side).
- Turn off your Instant Pot and add the chicken stock. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to "Pressure Cook" on the high setting for 16 minutes.
- Once the pheasants are done cooking, allow the pressure from the Instant Pot to release on it's own or release manually. If you do this, be sure to use an oven mitt or something protective so you don't burn yourself!
- Transfer cooked pheasants to a plate and let cool. Once cooled, shred the meat up using two forks or meat shredders. Link to my favorite meat shredding tool below!
- Discard any bones. You will need 1 1/2 cups of shredded pheasant for this pizza. There will be leftovers, so feel free to store in the freezer for another pizza, salad, or soup!
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. You will need to swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter browns a little bit. Once the butter begins to brown slightly, add in the chopped garlic and saute for 30 seconds, or until fragrant
- Immediately reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Whisk until combined, but not boiling.
- Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside
- Preheat oven to 425°F (if you have store bought pizza dough, follow the instructions on the label for cooking time and temperature).
- In a large frying pan, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a plate with paper towels to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Place pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper lightly sprayed with oil, and spread the pizza dough into a 12 inch circle. Using the sides of the parchment paper, lift the pizza dough and place into the dutch oven (you will place the parchment paper and pizza dough together in the dutch oven).
- Spread half of the alfredo sauce evenly onto the pizza dough. Toss the shredded pheasant with the remaining sauce and top the pizza with the pheasant meat.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, shredded spinach and bacon crumbles on the top of the pizza.
- Bake the pizza for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the crust begins to brown. Remove from oven and cool in dutch oven for 10 minutes. Lift the pizza out of the dutch oven using the edges of the parchment paper. Slice and serve!

Posted in response to a request. This was my grandmother's recipe for pheasant. We had/have a lot of hunters in the family and this was the best recipe for pheasant. I'm guessing on the serving size for 3 pheasants.

SMOTHERED PHEASANT OR GROUSE
This is from a cool cookbook called "The Washington Cookbook" which features recipes collected from Washington state and published in 1982. From the wild game chapter, this is posted in response to a request. Not one I have tried, but I am happy to up the number of wild game recipes on zaar! The original recipe suggests that the flavor of this dish is enhanced by vegetables and that tiny boiled carrots are a good accompaniment. It also recommends that a bed of wild rice is quite nice. Actually, the ingredient list does not include carrot but the original directions say to sauté them along with the celery and onion. So if you try it let me know how it goes and I'll make adjustments!

SMOTHERED PHEASANT
This is my mom's recipe for preparing the pheasants my dad would bring in during hunting season in Iowa. I use only the breasts from the birds, but you can use the other parts of the pheasant as well. This makes its own gravy that is delicious on mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Season the pheasant breasts on all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate, and press the pheasant breast into the flour until completely coated. Shake off excess flour and set aside. Melt the butter in an ovenproof Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat. Cook the pheasant breasts in the hot butter until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Pour in the half-and-half cream and bring to a simmer; cover the Dutch oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pheasant breasts are tender and no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:
- Start with the potatoes. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Trim the wider side off the potato and cut into 2 thick slices, so each side sits flat in the pan. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the bacon for 2 mins until crisp. Push the bacon aside; then, over a very high heat, brown the potato slices really well for about 3 mins on each side.
- Add the thyme, splash in the stock and place in the oven while you cook the pheasant.
- Season the pheasant really well. Heat the oil in a casserole dish and add the pheasant pieces. Spend about 10 mins making sure the meat is well coloured on all sides, using tongs to turn the pieces when needed.
- Remove the meat from the dish and add a splash more oil. Sizzle the bacon for 1 min, then add all the vegetables and the thyme. Turn up the heat and brown the vegetables really well. Nestle the legs amongst the vegetables and sit the breast on top. Place in the oven, uncovered, to roast for 25 mins.
- Remove the dish from oven, lift out the breast and leave somewhere warm to rest. Pour the chicken stock over the legs and return to the oven for 20 mins to braise. Meanwhile, gently reheat the carrot purée in a pan, stirring in a touch of butter.
- Remove the legs from the dish and set aside. Use a potato masher to squash the veg into the sauce to thicken. Season well and strain the sauce into a bowl. Remove the potatoes from the oven, and finely chop the bacon from the potato pan into small bits - you are now ready to carve the pheasant and plate up.
- Neatly cut each breast away from the carcass. Slice into 2 and cut each leg through the joint into 2 pieces. Cut each potato in half on an angle. Smear a large spoonful of carrot purée along one side of the plate. Lean the pheasant pieces against each other and lay a piece of potato alongside. Scatter the pheasant breast with the chopped bacon, spoon over the sauce and serve.
