Method

Sear the pheasant & celeriac in the oil in a hot pan & season well.

Soak the hay in cider for a few moments.

Place the hay in a roasting tray & nestle the pheasant & celeriac inside & cover with the hay.

Roast in a hotÌý180C/160C fan/gas mark 4Ìýoven, for 50 mins (depending on size).

Remember the pheasant will carry on cooking with the residual heat.

Nigel served his with mash & wilted greens.

Nigel’s Top Tips

  • Let your butcher know how gamey you like your pheasant, as the longer its hung the gamier it tastes. ÌýYou can hang it for longer in cold weather.

  • Most butchers will pluck & gut your pheasant for you (£2.50-3.00 per bird), if you’re fortunate enough to have been given a brace.

  • You can buy hay from your local pet shop.
