Ingredients

Serving 10
  For the Recipe
20 Pheasant Thighs
1 bulb Garlic
5g Thyme
5g Rosemary
6g Fennel Seeds
1 Lemon
1ltr Vegetable Oil
BBQ Sauce

Equipment

Ovenproof dish
Sieve or slotted spoon

Cook the ingredients

Place all the ingredients, minus the BBQ sauce,  in an oven proof pot and place in the oven at 130°C for 2-3 hours, checking every 45 minutes.

 

Do not worry about the large quantities of oil, it will not be consumed.  Slow cooking in fat is a French method known as confit.

Check the meat

When ready, the meat should fall off the thigh or leg bone easily when picked up.

Strain the pheasant

Strain off all the oil, keep the meat and remove the bones.

(the oil can be saved for another confit)

Serve the pulled pheasant

Mix the meat with your favourite BBQ sauce and serve atop one of our pheasant and pork burgers, or alone in a bun or bao with some Asian slaw.
