Pheasant Breast, Grilled Carrots and Potatoes, and Spiced Stewed Roma Tomatoes

Continuing our Thanksgiving Celebrations with Leftovers! Not bad for Leftovers! Eh?

Used the Potatoes and Carrots, from our Gardens, that we placed in our Cast Iron Frying Pan to hold the Bird, and center piece to our Ring-Necked Pheasant Dinner yesterday.

The Carrots and Potatoes weren’t quite done when the bird was so we saved them for today. We had separately prepared our vegetables yesterday to help ensure A Happy Thanksgiving Dinner.

So, today, on Thanksgiving Day 2023, I took the Carrots and Potatoes that were not quite done yesterday and sliced them up to grill them in the Castiron Frying Pan. Yes, I love Castiron Cooking! The Carrots I did first with a slight bit of olive oil, we’re currently out of our Rendered Lard, and sauteed the Carrots in the larger of two pans. I then poured the Carrots in the Smaller pan and added some salt and a little brown sugar. Using the larger of the two pans to fry the potatoes. To the potatoes I added Watkins Sea Salt, Pepper, and Rosemary. I then placed the Carrots in a well in the center of the potatoes and topped it with the whole Pheasant, less the Leg Quarters we ate yesterday. I then placed the whole thing in the oven at about 400 F for about 10 minutes to warm the Pheasant. Removing the Vegetables and Breasts after it was sufficiently warm and removing the breasts from the bird.

As the Vegetables and Pheasant was warming in the oven I made the stewed tomatoes from our fresh Briden Farm Garden Tomatoes. Cutting them into small pieces and sauteeing them in a little olive oil, Watkins Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Chilli Pepper, Basil, and Harissa.

So, from one of our Pasture Raised Ring-Necked Pheasant we’ve made two beautiful meals, and still have enough on the carcass to make a couple of sandwiches for later on. The vegetables and the pheasant, all raised or grown by us, sure make a delicious meal; or meals.

Ring Necked Pheasant Dinner

This is what makes me thankful this Thanksgiving, 2023, or at least one of the things. A beautiful meal, based on a great recipe I found at Project Upland, for Perfectly Roasted Pheasant. I’ve tried a lot of different Recipes, and this one is definitely how I’ll be doing my Pheasants from now on!

Of course I did tweak it a bit, with Watkins Pepper, Sea Salt, and Spices.

Thanksgiving Dinner 2021

Although, as expected, it’s going to take a few years before our Gardens are producing the way we’d like them, we do have lots to be thankful for this year. We have survived our first 14 months! It’s not all been easy, we have dealt with everything from sickness to pestilences. We’ve witnessed new births, dealt with deaths, and rejoiced in the living. 

This Thanksgiving our meal is a combination of the woodland pasture raised Berkshire pork that we raised. Vegetables given to us by a friend, pickles and preserves from both Grandma’s and from our Garden!

We’ve also had our own eggs, milk, cheese, butter, and apple sauce and fresh veggies, over the past months and even delicious farm raised chicken, duck, rabbit, and pork! 

We reflect at this time to give thanks not only for all the above, and each other, but for our families, friends, and friends who are family. So, we want to close by saying how special you all are to us and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
