Roast pheasant and bread sauce

17 ingredients 30 min + 2 hr Serves 4 openrecipes

Try to order your pheasants from a butcher that has hung them for a minimum of 6-7 days. Look for a rich, soft and fruity wine to serve - say a Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, or one of the very good wines from Oregon.
