and tonight….P(h)easant breasts in a 2 day Tandoori style marinade…with mad-mans spinach!

Pheasant is a wonderful meat…and roast pheasant with bread sauce infused with a muslin of sage leaves my absolute favourite…but who can roast a pheasant and stop it going dry (well…I can and I am sure you can too…but frankly most people can’t..! Goodness…aren’t we superior!)

I bought some pheasant breasts and marinaded them on/since Tuesday in a fiery Tandoori (misnomer, I know) yoghurt mix and cooked them – almost flash grilled them – on the GeoFo tonight. I had them with fresh spinach which I mixed with a little Greek yoghurt…at which point I just went mad with the Indian/moroccan spices, turfing a little of everything it, and sousing it all with lemon juice. It was magic! Home invented Indian food I think is becoming my food ‘du jour’ ! But don’t tell the poor Indians !!

Pudding I mixed a Waitrose Apple Strudel with a ripe Kaki fruit….the mix was interesting but actually worked quite well. And the colour scheme was quite fun too!

    Mmm, Have never cooked pheasant, looks fiery indian ( is it naturaly pink? or is this the marinade), and the color of that sauce is madness, certainly worth waiting for.

    Peasant…Pheasant… peasants are revolting..etc etc !
    The redness was quite interesting…someone suggested to add some beetroot juice to the marinade for the colour. Worked quite well !

    The colour is also a little to do with the saturation button in Picasa…I’ve got a proper camera to do these now…trying to outdo Gomi !! Fat chance! :-)
