  1. Theresa REVIEW:

    VERY RICH, but we enjoyed it. We added a chicken breast to the 1 pheasant we had, and replaced the olives with more mushrooms. I also used a muscat instead of the Sauterne wine. We served it with white rice. In the future, I would use a less sweet wine, maybe a Reisling, decrease or eliminate the sugar, and consider more starch to the mix.

  2. Tom REVIEW:

    WE changed the recipe a little. We started with boneless breasts from 3 birds as that's how we clean them after a hunt. Other changes included 5 large shiitaki mushrooms quartered, a piece of thick sliced bacon diced, 2 bay leaves, a tsp of thyme, and replaced the sugar with 2 T of brown sugar. Served with dirty rice, glazed baby carrots iwth dill, and a nice bottle of merlot.
