Cómo preparar Pheasant Braised In Gin And Juniper
- Season the pheasant generously with salt and pepper. Truss the bird using kitchen twine to maintain its shape during braising.
- Completely wrap the pheasant with the thinly sliced pork fat, securing with kitchen twine if needed.
- In a heavy-bottomed casserole dish or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pheasant until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the pheasant from the casserole and set aside. Pour off any excess fat from the pan.
- Add the olive oil to the casserole, then add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they just begin to soften and color, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed juniper berries and bay leaves. Add the gin and chicken broth. Return the pheasant to the casserole. Cover the dish tightly and braise in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 35-45 minutes, or until the pheasant is tender and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- Carefully remove the pheasant from the casserole and place it on a serving platter. Remove the pork fat wrap and keep the pheasant warm.
- Strain the braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, discarding the solids. Skim off any excess fat from the surface.
- Bring the strained braising liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the liquid rapidly until it thickens to a light sauce consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the sauce from the heat. Whisk in the chopped fresh parsley and butter until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carve the pheasant into serving pieces. Ladle the sauce generously over the pheasant and serve immediately. Enjoy!
