Asian Poached Pheasant with game stock
Grouse is a rich and delicious meat, so it's no wonder grouse recipes are so varied in style and flavour. Take a look at the following Asian Poached Pheasant "for two", bringing together traditional British game bird with Far Easten flavours as tried and tested by our professional chefs. Taken from Tom Kitchin's Meat and Game by Michelin starred chef, Tom Kitchin.
Ingredients
Method
Season the pheasant breasts all over with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Heat a heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Add the stock, fennel, lemongrass, ginger and coriander and fennel seeds. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Add the pheasant breasts to the stock and poach for 8–12 minutes, depending on their size, until tender. Remove the breasts from the pan and cut each one into 4 pieces.
Add the chilli and chopped coriander to the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Return the pheasant meat to pan and warm through, if necessary, then serve.
