Stuffed Pheasant Breast Food

STUFFED PHEASANT BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Roast the pepper over a flame until it turns black. Remove skin, seeds and stem, and dice the pepper into 1/4-inch squares.
• Mix the goat cheese, pine nuts and herbs in a bowl.
• Cut off the breasts from the pheasant, carefully removing skin and fat. Discard carcass. Cut a small pocket into the side of the breast from end to end. Stuff the pocket of each breast with stuffing mixture. Pull some breast meat over the pocket. Wrap each breast with four slices of bacon.
• Place the pheasant breasts on a rack in a roasting tray, and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them over once.
• Remove the breasts from the oven. Remove and discard the bacon and let the pheasant breasts stand for 5 minutes.
• Slice each breast into four medallions, using an angled cut. Place 4 medallions on each plate, and serve with a salad.

STUFFED PHEASANT BREASTS WITH WILD-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Separate legs and thighs from each bird. Remove and reserve skin, then cut meat away from the bones, being careful to remove small bones and gristle. Set aside.
• Skin, then bone the breasts. The procedure is exactly the same as for a chicken: With the bird lying on its back, use a sharp knife to make a deep incision just beside the breast bone. Then pull the meat - called the supreme - away from the carcass. Repeat the procedure for the other breast, and for remaining pheasant. On the inner side of each breast there will be a small fillet. Remove the stringy nerve from each of them. Using a broad knife blade, pound the small fillets slightly to flatten and set aside.
• Cut deep pockets into each of the supremes for stuffing, taking care not to pierce all the way through. Set aside.
• Use skin, carcass, heart, gizzard and wings to prepare a stock, as one would prepare chicken stock.
• Rinse caul fat under cold water for several minutes, then drain well.
• Prepare the stuffing. Put dark meat from legs and thighs through a meat grinder, or grind in a food processor. Add egg whites, season with salt, pepper and paprika, and pass through a fine mesh sieve, using a stiff plastic scraper, or, if available, use the fine mesh sieve attachment of an electric mixer. Combine meat and egg mixture with the creme fraiche in a mixing bowl and whip with an electric beater for several minutes, or until the mixture is very elastic.
• Saute pheasant livers in butter for about two minutes.
• Open each supreme, carefully add stuffing and in the center of each place half of a sauteed liver. Close supremes so that no stuffing seeps out, and cover the opening with the flattened fillets from Step 2. Wrap each stuffed supreme in a single layer of caul fat. This can be done several hours ahead, then refrigerated. Remove pheasant from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Salt and pepper each supreme, then brown on both sides in butter. Place su-premes in a shallow, buttered pan, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. While pheasant is cooking, prepare sauce and figs.
• To serve, cut each packet on the bias into five or six thin slices, arrange on warm plates and serve with shallot and wildmushroom sauce. The caul fat should have cooked away, and so need not be removed for serving.

PORK CHOPS WITH SAVORY MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• For stuffing, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add green onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more or until mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat.
• Trim fat from chops. make a pocket in each chop by cutting from fat side almost to, but not through, the opposite side. Spoon stuffing into pockets in chops. If necessary, secure with wooden toothpicks.
• Brush chops with Worcestershire sauce. Season chops lightly with additional salt and pepper. Grill chops on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat about 20 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once halfway through cooking. To serve, remove toothpicks.

PEACH COBBLER STUFFED 'BEIGNETS' RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the butter and peaches to a pan over medium-low heat and cook until the butter has melted and peaches are glossy.
• In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon flour, and nutmeg. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the peaches. Mix to combine and stir for 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Cut the dough into 20 rectangles.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of the peach filling onto a cut piece of dough. Fold the dough over lengthwise and crimp the edges so the filling is well sealed. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Heat oil in a large pot to 350°F (180°C).
