Amount Ingredient
4 x Boned, skinned pheasant breasts
6 oz Thinly-sliced fresh mozzarella
4 oz Thinly-sliced Proscuitto
(or other good ham)
1/3 cup Mixed chopped herbs
(such as parsley, chives and/or basil)
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Chopped shallots or green onions
3/4 cup Chopped mushrooms
3 tbl Unsalted butter
3 cup Rich chicken stock
1 cup Dry white wine
3/4 cup Fresh orange juice
2 tbl Chopped fresh ginger
3/4 cup Heavy cream
1 tbl Grated orange zest
Instructions:
Instructions: Place breasts between layers of plastic wrap and very gently pound to flatten each breast evenly. Place slices of mozzarella and Proscuitto on each to cover breast. Sprinkle chopped herbs over all and season lightly with salt and pepper. Fold each breast in half and skewer together. Set aside. Prepare the sauce by sauteing the shallots and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of butter until lightly colored. Add the stock, wine, orange juice and ginger and cook over high heat until reduced by half. Add cream and reduce again to a light sauce consistency. Strain carefully and add orange zest, salt, pepper and drops of lemon juice to taste. Keep warm. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil to a saute pan and saute prepared breasts over moderate heat, browning on both sides. Place on warm plates and spoon prepared sauce around.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: This approach to rolling up the boned breast with a flavorful filling can be used equally well with breasts of other birds.
