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.

Quick and Easy
4 tbsp olive oil
4 pheasant breast fillets
2 whole unpeeled garlic cloves
200g wild mushrooms (morel, chanterelle)
4 tbsp dry white wine
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 tbsp roughly chopped soft fresh thyme
1 (135g) bag watercress, spinach and rocket salad
2 nectarines, stoned and sliced
Methods/steps
1. Pour 1 tbsp oil into a large heavy based frying pan, add the whole garlic cloves then set the pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot fry the pheasant breasts for 203 minutes each side until lightly browned and just cooked through. Transfer them to a board, leave to rest for a few minutes, then slice.

2. Heat the remaining oil to the pan, add the mushrooms and fry for 102 minutes. Pour in the whine and allow to bubble rapidly for a second or two. Remove from the heat. Add the red onion and thyme. Season.

3. To serve, divide the salad leaves and nectarines between four plates. Top with the pheasant breasts, then spoon over the warm mushrooms and their dressing.
