Pheasant Amaretto – serves 2

2 whole boneless pheasant breast

Flour, seasoned with salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme, for dredging

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 fluid ounce amaretto

½ cup heavy cream

1 fluid ounce white wine

¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted on a baking dish in a 350`F oven for 10 minutes

Preheat oven to 325`F. Flatten room temperature pheasant breasts slightly and dust with seasoned flour. Heat butter in frying pan until bubbling subsides and brown pheasant breasts on both sides. Transfer pheasant breasts to platter, cover loosely with foil, and put in oven to keep warm while making sauce. (We recommend that you keep breasts in long enough to be fully cook.) (Like chicken this should be fully cooked to 190 degrees.)

Return pan to medium heat. Gradually whisk amaretto, heavy cream, and wine into the drippings in the pan. Simmer until liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove cooked pheasant from oven. Pour sauce over warm pheasant, top with almonds, and serve immediately with wild rice.
