Cider-Braised Pheasant with Shallots, Apples & Thyme

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 small pheasant (or 1 large), oven ready*
  • 75 g pancetta or bacon, cubed
  • 8-10 small shallots (or 4-5 large one halved), peeled
  • 300 g cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 500 ml dry cider
  • small sprig fresh thyme (or generous 1/2 tsp dried)

Optional:

  • Buttery mashed potato to serve

Recipe Notes

* My pheasant was about 900 grams, so enough to serve 2. If your birds are smaller, use 1 per person.

– We used a lot of apples as we had a 300-gram bag of prepped apple in the freezer. Use less if you prefer.

What you need to do

  • Choose a stove and oven-proof casserole dish large enough for your pheasants), the shallots and apples and a good amount of liquid.
  • On the stove top, heat vegetable oil in your casserole dish and brown the pheasant(s) on all sides. A pair of rubber-tipped tongs is useful for this. Once browned, remove the pheasant(s) from the pot and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 180 °C (fan).
  • Add the pancetta or bacon to the pot and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the shallots and cook on a high heat until they take on a little colour. Stir regularly so the shallots colour rather than catch.
  • Push the shallots and bacon to the edges to make space, then add the pheasants) back to the pot, breast side down. Spread the cooking apples around (and between, if cooking two birds) and throw in the thyme. Pour cider to at least half way up the bird(s). If you’re using a smaller pot, you may not need the full 500ml.
