"This recipe is from Robert Buller (Owner, Dressed to Go Poultry). Pheasant is all lean, dark meat with rich flavor. It's good for today's health-conscious diets, but cooking it properly without drying it out can be a challenge. This easy dish is moist and delicious, and Robert recommends serving it over a combination of wild and long grain rice, with a side dish of steamed cauliflower or broccoli. This dish is excellent for entertaining and can be made in advance and reheated just before serving."
