Cooking Recipe Pheasant Veronique
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Set oven at 350 or gas 4. Wipe the pheasants, season, and rub well
all over with butter. Put a knob of butter inside each bird. Place
the pheasants breast side down in deep pot roaster or flameproof
casserole. Cover and cook with stock and buttered paper. Cook for 1
to 1 1/4 hrs until tender turning the birds breast side up after 25
minutes. When cooked remove the pheasants and keep hot. Boil the
remaining liquid to reduce a little and strain into a saucepan. Blend
the arrowroot with a little water and then stir into the hot stock.
Bring to a boil and stir until sauce thickens and clears. Add the
grapes, cream and lemon juice, then heat through without boiling.
Check the seasoning. Arrange the pheasants on a serving dish, spoon
the sauce over and serve. From Mrs Beetons Book of Cookery and
