Cooking and preparing pheasant
Jan 11th, 2012, 7:15am
 
Okay - this was originally added to the rabbit skinning thread - then thought it made more sense to split and give its own thread Smiley
Enjoy.

 
bbq'd rabbit is seriosuly tasty - done a few like that last year.  
 
My current favourite game is skinned pheasant.  
 
Very easy, and no you don't do it fast like in the videos where they stand on the wings and pull the legs off. you want to end up with a whole bird.
Looks better, easier to cook there's plenty meat on the legs.
I use this method:

Great method.  
Once skinned I brine the pheasant. Then cover in home cured smoked pancetta and slow cook till it hits an internal of around 70c.  
Then joint, slice breast and eat cold with cumberland sauce, devilled eggs, coleslaw and potatos Smiley

Bacon makes anything taste better.  It's the "Every-Meat".  You killed those with the slings I sent you, right?

lol no I don't kill things. I just prepare and cook them.  
 
Actually those pheasants and the two I did at the weekend were free !  
 
We know a chap who likes to shoot and whose wife won't eat game (weird but true) so every now and then a couple of pheasants appear on our doorstep.  
 
I get absolutely no 'kick' from killing things, but I get pleasure from preparing and cooking an animal from scratch.

   I have a similar arrangement with one of my neighbors.  He doesn't eat pheasants but likes to go to one of those farms where pheasants that have no fear of humans are released so hunters of questionable skill, for a price,  can come home with something.  These poor, unsuspecting birds will walk right up to your car to get blasted.  Personally I don't see any sport whatsoever in this, but these pheasants are raised to be food and are generally dispatched in a quick, humane manner, so I don't have a problem accepting the birds from him.  
    I usually don't eat the skin of any foul because that's where most of the fat is.  Also I'm too lazy to pluck so I always skin them.  I like to barbecue them on a nice, smoky Weber.

I know someone whose wife is the same, so I get backstrap every once in a while from one of his deer.

How does it looks like?
By the way, here's my favourite grill:
 

 
self-forged replica of a VIIth Century b.C. Picenian symposium set - and of course I grill on the forge after I'm done using it for smithing  Grin
Not very hygienic but soooo much natural!
