By , About.com Guide

Pheasant in the slow cooker, with white wine and garlic, along with other seasonings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pheasants, cut meat from bones, into bite size pieces
  • 1/4 c. flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 4 tbsp. oil
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 c. Sauterne or dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 sm. can chopped mushrooms
  • 1 small can sliced black olives
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

Preparation:

Dredge pheasant meat in seasoned flour, shake off excess flour. Saute in shortening and butter. Remove pheasant to slow cooker or roasting pan. Mash garlic clove in skillet juices, add onion, Sauterne, sugar, mushrooms, olives, and broth. Heat to bubbling and simmer five minutes. Pour over pheasant. Heat in slow cooker/Crock Pot on low 6-8 hours or in covered roasting pan at 325 degrees for at least 1 1/2 hours. I prefer the slow cooker/Crock Pot method as its a long slow cooking and mingles the flavors better. Serve with wild rice or white rice. Rich and delicious.
Servings: 6.

Everyone Loved ItDecember 21, 2009By epawlus
"I made this dish for our weekend pheasant hunt. The birds were delicious, everyone loved it and it was simple to make. Cutting the meat into byte size pieces also ensures you get all the buckshot out and avoids a trip to the dentist! I highly recommend it."
