Ingredients:


4 medium single pheasant breasts -- bones removed

1 teaspoon salt -- to taste

1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste

8 tablespoons butter -- divided

4 small shallots -- finely chopped

1/2 cup cider vinegar

2 medium tart apples -- such as granny smith, peeled, sliced thin

1 cup chicken stock

1/4 cup cream

1/2 medium pomegranate -- seeds reserved
 

Preparation / Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pound breasts lightly with meat mallet to a consistent thickness. Season well with salt and pepper. In a 10-inch to 12-inch sauté pan, heat butter over medium heat until foam subsides. Add pheasant breasts, skin down, and cook until golden-brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place pan in oven 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and breasts from pan. Add shallots to pan and stir. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add cider vinegar and apples and cook until vinegar dissipates by half. Add stock and cream and bring to a boil. Return pheasant breasts to pan and cook until sauce is reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Spoon sauce over and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5742)
