Pheasant Recipe

Unknown

My neighbor gave me three pheasants and I don't know what to do with them. Anyone have a good recipe?

NUman,[p]Young pheasant IÕve purchased from Cavendish Game Birds I marinate in Zesty Italian Dressing, and either:
stuff with sliced Granny Smith apples, slather in spiced butter and roast.
- or -
Cut out the backbone, slather in spiced butter and spatchcock.
My grandmother used to cut them up, dredge in flower and spices, and fry them.
The main point is to NOT over cook.[p]A few other ideas:[p]http://www.ehow.com/how_2064242_cook-pheasant.html[p]http://www.theoutdoorlodge.com/features/articles/hunting/sd_pheasant.html[p]http://www.vizsladogs.com/RECIPE/pheasant.htm[p]http://www.pheasanthuntpages.com/recipes.htm[p]http://southdakota-outdoors.com/forums/topic.php?tid=27846&fid=1501[p]

NUman,
This is going to sound odd, but it's really good. Drain and rinse some sauerkraut. Put a layer of the kraut with some juniper berries and maybe some apple slices on the bottom of a baking dish. Salt and Pepper on the birds and set them on the kraut. Cover the birds with the ret of the sauerkraut. I pour a little vermouth in there too. Indirect on the egg at like 325 for about 2 hours. Amazingly tender.
