Pheasant In Mushroom Cream Sauce Recipes

PHEASANT WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Spread the flour across a plate. Season the pheasant with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge in flour. Shake away the excess flour and set aside.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 tbsp. of oil, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. Use tongs to lay each sage leaf into the oil. Fry leaves for 15-30 seconds per side and remove to a paper towel.
• In the same pan, lay down each pheasant breast to sear. Allow them to cook undisturbed until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tbsp. of butter to the hot pan. When it has melted and begins to foam, add the mushrooms and shallot. Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown.
• Deglaze the pan with white wine and chicken stock. Increase the heat and bring to a soft boil. Reduce these liquids in half.
• Pour in the cream and reduce the sauce for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• Return the pheasant breasts back to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional minute or until the pheasant is cooked through and is warm. Serve over wild rice with the mushroom-cream sauce and fried sage.

SLOW COOKER PHEASANT WITH MUSHROOMS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Place the flour, salt, and pepper into a resealable plastic bag; shake to mix. Place the pheasant pieces into the flour mixture, and shake until evenly coated.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake any excess flour off of the pheasant pieces, and place them in the hot oil. Cook until the pheasant is brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Place the pheasant into a slow cooker, reserving the oil in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining oil until they soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic, and continue cooking and stirring until the mushrooms have softened and the garlic has mellowed, about 5 minutes more.
• Pour the wine into the skillet and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then pour in the chicken broth and return to a boil. Pour the mushroom mixture into the slow cooker, and sprinkle with sliced black olives.
• Cover, and cook on High for 4 hours, or Low for 7 hours.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in wine, and allow to sizzle while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Stir in cream and chicken broth, lower heat to medium, and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens but does not separate, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

PHEASANT WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pour the stock into a small pot and boil it down until you have about 1/4 cup. Set aside. Cut the pheasant breasts into strips or chunks and salt well.
• Slice the mushrooms into large pieces. Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and shake the pan to keep them from sticking. Dry sauté the mushrooms for several minutes, shaking often, until the mushrooms give up their water. Cook until that water is almost gone.
• Add the butter and shallot and toss to combine. Sauté, stirring often, until the shallot is translucent and the mushrooms begin to brown.
• Sprinkle the thyme and a little salt over everything and mix well. Pour in the brandy and use it to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat down to medium-high and cook until the brandy is almost gone.
• Add the reduced stock, the cream and the pheasant strips and toss to combine. Bring this to a gentle simmer, turn the heat to low and cover. Cook like this for 5 minutes, or until the pheasant is just barely cooked through.
• Toss the spinach in and serve with crusty bread, egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
