PHEASANT (Faisan)
Roast Pheasant ( Faisan roti) a la Brita Stina
Pick, singe, clean, and wash the pheasant well; tie up as for
roasting, put in a roasting pan with some thin slices of bacon over
the breast; sprinkle with pepper and salt; add some onions,
carrots, a little sherry and water; roast from about twenty-five
to thirty minutes — basting occasionally. If the oven is very
hot, turn the breast down, so as not to get it too dry and brown;
just before it is ready, turn the breast up to get the skin nice
and crisp. Carve the breast out — slip the knife through length¬
wise; cut each breast in two pieces if small, in four if large, and
put back again in its place; garnish with watercress and brown
bread crumbs around the platter. Take fresh bread crumbs, put
on a pie plate with some butter, and brown in oven — toast around
and around not to be burned, just golden. Serve with an English
bread sauce and currant jelly at the side, with the salad. It can
also be served in place of a joint for luncheon or a family dinner.
Roast Pheasant ( Faisan roti) a la Barnegat

AMERICAN COOK BOOK
225
Take one pheasant that is to be placed on a crouton, lard the breast
with truffles — leave the rest unlarded. Put them in a roasting pan
with some butter on the breast, some slices of bacon, onions, carrots,
pepper, salt, and a little sherry; roast from twenty-five to thirty min¬
utes, according to heat of the oven and size of the pheasants. Take
care not to let them burn, have them golden brown; turn around
and around, take care not to have too dry or too well done; must be
cooked like a young chicken — the breast must be very juicy but
not rare. In the meantime, prepare a high crouton of bread —
scoop it out and scallop it around and fry in hot fat until brown.
Put this in the centre of the platter; take the bird (that has
been larded with truffles) and put on top of the crouton (that
is dressed all around with watercress), turning the breast of the
bird up and the back down. Stick the head, wings, and tail on
the bird with big pins or skewers; put some watercress in the
mouth.
