Below is my recipe for slow cooked pheasant pie
#CookitBlogit is the brainchild of The Diary of a Frugal Family and Crazy With Twins (me), and the first ever CookitBlogit was hosted by the oh so frugal Cass last week. So without further ado… here is my recipe for this week… and if you are a blogger – link up any recipes you have posted in the last week, at the bottom!
Slow Cooked Pheasant Pie
Prep time: 10 mins Cooking time: 8 hours
Slow Cooker Ingredients Pastry Ingredients
4 Pheasant Breasts 300g Plain Flour
4 Rashers of Bacon 165g Butter
200g Mushrooms 4-5 tbsp water
2-3 Cloves of fresh garlic
3 tbsp plain flour (use wholemeal for healthier option)
250ml Chicken Stock
100ml Marsala Wine
1. Cut the pheasant breasts and the bacon into small pieces.
2. Chop the mushrooms into quarters
3. Crush (or finely chop) the garlic
4. Put ALL of the slow cooker ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on slow for 7 hours.
5. Put all the pastry ingredients into a food processor and pulse until crumbs appear.
6. Add the water a little at a time (you may not need all of it) and pulse until a ball of dough forms.
7. Wrap dough in clingfilm and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes.
8. Roll out pastry and cover the base of the pie dish
9. Put the slow cooker contents into the pie and top with pastry.
10. Bake for 40 minutes at 200 degrees
You can do this pie with ordinary flour (as photographs show), but lately we have been using wholemeal flour, as part of a challenge to eat more wholegrains.

hmm yes highly advisable to remove the shot first! hehe. It was indeed a very flavoursome pie. xx
This pie looks so yummy! I have never tried Pheasant before but am now thinking I may just try it!

I had only tried it once when I was little, then this. I was surprised by how nice it was; hence needing to share my recipe! x
I am not a lover of game, but this looks very nice.
I was a game-cooking-virgin before this and I surprised myself which just how delicious it was. xx
That looks delicious – I can almost taste it (well I could if I knew what pheasant tasted like lol).

We were given the pheasant, I had never actually cooked with it before. It was so fresh I had to spend a while pulling little black feathers out! Lol. I’m sure this recipe would work with other meats too. xx
I have never had pheasant before, but this sounds lovely! I imagine it could be substituted with turkey or even something like rabbit, for a game-y flavour. Really fancy trying out new meats at the moment, and this has made me curious about pheasant 🙂

I’ve never cooked game myself but my husband loves game pie so may give this a go!

Was a first for me too! xx
Looks like my kind of pie. Great way to cook pheasant breasts.

At the time, I was just winging it (excuse the pun)! But it turned out AMAZING! lol. xx
That pie looks lovely & rich but I’m not a fan of game since feeling obliged to eat a game pie that a boyfriends father had shot & made himself!

Yeah I was slightly put off by having to pull some tiny feathers out first! I expect it would still work with chicken. xx
What a lovely recipe. I have never made a pheasant pie, but am quite tempted now. Will add my link in a mo.
Thankyou. It was very tasty. xx
OK, all done now. My version of Nigel Slater the god himself is added to your linky. TY!
