[Sca-cooks] Pheasants

[Vincent Cuenca]

Last weekend, I managed to get my mitts on a farm-raised pheasant.  I've
been looking around for some good recipe ideas, but most of the recipes on
the Internet are for wild pheasants.  Since my wife and I are trying to cut
down on the fat intake, the prospect of wrapping the bird in fatback before
roasting does not necessarily appeal to us.

I've never worked with pheasant before, so I'd like to know as much as
possible before cooking it.  Since it's a game bird, I'm guessing the fat
content is going to be lower than your standard grocery store chook.  Since
it's farm-raised, I'm guessing it'll have a milder flavor and a bit more fat
than a wild pheasant.  Perhaps a gentle braise in white wine...

So, does anyone have a favorite pheasant recipe?  It doesn't have to be
period, but something a little out of the ordinary would be nice. (I'm
planning a somewhat gourmet dinner for my sweetie, and I like showing off
for her.)

Thanks in advance,

Vicente
