Pheasant wrapped in Bacon with Green
Peppercorn Sauce
Ingredients:
-
4 Bacon wrapped pheasant breasts
- 2 Cups Red wine
- 1 chopped onion
- 3 cloves chopped garlic
- 1 tsp Tarragon
- 3 Tsp peppercorns (ground)
-
2 cups whipping
cream
Recipe Instructions:
Put in a cooking dish and place under the broiler
till browned, turning once. Remove from broiler and
set the breasts on paper towels to degrease. Remove
excess grease from pan. Deglaze the pan with the
wine and pour that into a pot to make sauce. Add
onion, garlic, tarragon, and peppercorns. Bring to
slow boil. Reduce the mixture by half. Return the
breasts back to the cooking dish. After the mixture
is reduced add the cream. Stir well and pour that
over the breasts. Return the pheasant to the oven
and slow cook at 250F-300F for about an hour or 2.
Serve over a rice pilaf. Adjustments of more cream
and wine may be added to increase the amount of
sauce when preparing. Also, the green peppercorns
may be left whole or crushed. If you crush them it
tends to be a bit more peppery.
