Ingredients
- 4 Pheasant Breasts (approx. 120 g each)
- Salt
- Pepper (from the mill)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 5 sprigs Thyme
- 20 ml Calvados
- 200 ml Poultry stock
- 600 g Scorzonera (black salsify)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Icing sugar
- 2 Apples
- Thyme
- chopped walnut kernels
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius. Set the heating mode to top and bottom heat.
- 2. Rinse the pheasant breasts briefly under running water. Then pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.
- 3. Season the breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan and sear the meat together with thyme sprigs on both sides for a short time over high heat.
- 4. Place the meat on a rack in the oven. Place a drip pan under the rack. Roast the breasts with the thyme sprigs in the oven for about 30 minutes.
- 5. Remove the pan from the heat. Deglaze the pan drippings (the browned residues) with Calvados and some meat stock. Stir until the residues dissolve.
- 6. Peel the black salsify. Cook them in salted water for about 15 minutes until they are still firm to the bite. Drain them and let them drip dry.
- 7. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. Add the black salsify and sprinkle them lightly with powdered sugar. Caramelize them gently. Finally, season them with salt and pepper.
- 8. Wash the apples. Cut them into quarters and remove the core. Cut the quarters into wedges.
- 9. Melt the remaining butter in a pan. Fry the apple wedges with a little powdered sugar until golden brown.
- 10. Deglaze the apples with the prepared pan drippings and the remaining meat stock. Let the apples cook until soft for a few minutes. Season them with salt and pepper.
- 11. Plate the caramelized black salsify and the apple wedges. Slice the pheasant breasts and place them on top.
- 12. Pour the sauce over the meat. Garnish the dish with fresh thyme and walnut kernels. Serve immediately.
