How To Cook Pheasant In A Slow Cooker Recipes

BERGIE'S CROCK POT PHEASANT

Steps:

• Skin the pheasant and wash.
• Put pheasant in a large bowl with the salt and cover with cold water.
• Soak at least an hour.
• Then discard the brine solution.
• Cut pheasant into 4 pieces.
• Mix Marinade ingredients in a large zip lock bag (big enought to hold the pheasant pieces).
• Put pheasant pieces into the zip lock bag and put into the fridge.
• Marinate for 24 hours.
• Turn the bag every time you open the fridge.
• Discard the marinade.
• Put a 1/2 cup of water in your crockpot with the pheasant pieces.
• You may want to add a little more water while cooking if it goes dry (A nice touch is to use a dry white wine instead of the water or mix Wine and water 1/2 and 1/2).
• cook on low for at least 5 hours.

SLOW COOKER PHEASANT WITH MUSHROOMS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Place the flour, salt, and pepper into a resealable plastic bag; shake to mix. Place the pheasant pieces into the flour mixture, and shake until evenly coated.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake any excess flour off of the pheasant pieces, and place them in the hot oil. Cook until the pheasant is brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Place the pheasant into a slow cooker, reserving the oil in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining oil until they soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic, and continue cooking and stirring until the mushrooms have softened and the garlic has mellowed, about 5 minutes more.
• Pour the wine into the skillet and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then pour in the chicken broth and return to a boil. Pour the mushroom mixture into the slow cooker, and sprinkle with sliced black olives.
• Cover, and cook on High for 4 hours, or Low for 7 hours.

TENDER PHEASANTS

Steps:

• Place the pheasants into a large slow cooker. Wrap and drape the bacon over the birds, covering the pheasants as much as you can. Whisk the condensed soup, sour cream, water, chopped onion, onion soup mix, and mushrooms together in a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over the pheasants.
• Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, or on High for 5 to 7 hours.
