    Preparation Steps

    1

    Clean the pheasant and cut it into pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper.

    2

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the pheasant on all sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    3

    Finely chop the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and bacon. In the same skillet, sauté the vegetables and bacon until softened and fragrant.

    4

    Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Pour in the red wine and cook for a few minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

    5

    Add the chicken stock, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Return the pheasant to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1.5-2 hours, or until the pheasant is tender.

    6

    During the last 20 minutes of cooking, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.

    7

    Serve the pheasant casserole hot with fresh crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
