I absolutely love cooking with game – I'm a country girl, a farmer's daughter, and it's part of my life. People often don't realize how versatile – and how healthy - game is to cook and eat. There's a huge variety available – from snipe and partridge to venison and hare, and so many ways of preparing it, from traditional old-fashioned and delicious roast pheasant wrapped in bacon to a modern-day venison
burger stuffed with blue cheese. - Rachel Green.

Notes

Pheasant a l'orange with Bruschetta

Preparation Time: 2 Hours & 0 Mins

Cooking Time: 0 Hours & 20 Mins

For a fusion fantasy roll the breasts in finely chopped garlic, drizzle with olive oil and juice from the orange and wrap tightly in cling film. Leave for a couple of hours.

Twenty minutes before you want to eat, unwrap breasts and set aside.

Pour the juices into a pan, Add 1/3 pint of water, the stock cube, thyme, raspberry vinegar and finally a wine glass full of orange liqueur.

Leave to simmer gently while you melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. (unlike chicken pheasant is better when slightly pink).

Put bruschetta onto four plates, place half a breast on each and drizzle with the sauce for a delicious starter.

Alternatively, cook one breast per person and serve with mashed potato as a stunning main course

Serving Suggestion

For a starter put bruschetta onto four plates, place half a breast on each and drizzle with the sauce for a delicious starter.
