Roast pheasant with sweet potato and red cabbage

by Shipscook @ 2007-11-18 - 20:23:40

I'm completely knackered, having spent about five hours cutting up bits of tree and stuffing them in compost bags so this is more of an assembly job than real cooking.

So while Old Nick is watching Top Gear I have slammed two pheasants in bacon waistcoats in the oven at 220 degrees for 20 minutes then three sweet potatoes will go in on a separate baking dish.

After they have had another 20 minutes on will go the shredded red cabbage to boil. Then after another ten minutes, out come the birds to be divided amongst the three of us and in go the Yorkshires (shop bought I'm afraid), the red cabbage water will be used to make some instant Bisto gravy, red cabbage plated up, one sweet potato each skinned and on plate two Yorkshires each, gravy for Mrs F and Old Nick, none for me I prefur it dry.

Open bottle of Faustino I Rioja, slob out in front of TV, where did the weekend go?

Sounds lovely. I've never had pheasant before. I must try it sometime.

Waitrose in South Woodford. They have a good selection of game and fish in season

That's good to know. I haven't been over the South Woodford for ages, I might just go and have a look.

BTW chef, sounds lovely. Have you tried Ostrich? Would recommend.

Yes we often have cured ostrich as a starter, we get it from the local Farmer's Market. I have also had an ostrich burger at a Belgian restaurant which was very tasty.

No, I'd never eat an ill one either. Cured? Haven't come across that yet. Will try it when I do. Probably my favourite terrestrial flesh, not that I've eaten everything... yet. Only had it roasted, nice, tender, no fat or gristle and tastes like livery beef don't you think? Good meat!

Waddaya mean bacon waistcoats? Night night
