Just had the best dinner,

Got home from work, unloaded tools from the truck and was reminded that i had 10 or so pheasants in the garage, by the smell. half of them were making thier escape in the form of a smelly goo under the door.

I cut the breasts off , threw them in a hot pan and added some tarragon, fresh green sage, onion, honey, english mustard and veg stock and seasoning, simmered for ages.
The best food I've had in ages.

For pheasants or chuckars I have them in quarters.
Flower them and sear them in O'oil.

While this is going on I have a pot heating with a good mushroom soup. In that I also add apple slices and a Walla Walla Sweat and anything else I can think of to throw in. After searing the birds I throw them in the pot and put it in the oven at around 300.

After awhile, I start putting in the vegies. Potatos and carrots first. Then add the things that take the shortest to cook without turning into mush.

Let the whole thing simmer in the oven.
When ready, drain the birds a bit and put everything else over rice.

IT's really very simple and like a stew you can toss in anything you can think of. I've never wrecked one and everything is tasty.
