Pheasant recipes—especially good ones—are very hard to find! This slow cooker version with mushrooms and olives results in a moist, tender, and delicious pheasant that even my kids will gobble up. It's adapted from a recipe a friend passed on to me.

Ingredients

  • 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 2 pheasants , rinsed, patted dry, and cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion , sliced into rings
  • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cups sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place flour, pepper, and salt into a resealable plastic bag; shake to combine. Add pheasant pieces to flour mixture; shake until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from pheasant pieces; add to skillet. Cook until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a slow cooker, reserving oil in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Cook onion in skillet until softens, about 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and garlic; continue cooking and stirring until mushrooms softened and garlic mellowed, about 5 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Add wine to skillet; bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, then add chicken broth; return to a boil. Transfer mushroom mixture to the slow cooker; sprinkle with black olives.

  5. 5

    Cover slow cooker; cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 7 hours.
