The Perfect Autumn Dish - Pheasant Guidwife
This rich, seasonal dish, combining pheasant with chutney and red wine, is just what you need on a cold autumn day and the slow cooking means the pheasant meat is beautifully tender. Pair with your favourite glass of red and enjoy.
Ingredients
- 2 pheasants
- 3 large onions peeled and sliced into rings
- 6-8 tbsp of peach/mango chutney
- 1-2 large glasses of red wine
- Salt and pepper
- Sunflower oil for frying
- 1-2tsp of cornflower, if needed
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 5. Season the pheasants well with salt and pepper and, in large cast iron/flame proof casserole dish, brown the birds all over in the sunflower oil and then set aside.
- Fry the onion rings gently in the same pot until slightly coloured and soft. Sit the pheasants on top of the onions and spread a thick layer of chutney over them.
- Pour over the red wine, pop the lid on and cook for 1 ½ – 2 hours. If you would like a thicker sauce, sift in a couple of teaspoons of cornflower. Serve with rice or mash and plenty of seasonal vegetables.
