Ingredients

• 2 pheasant breasts, cut into chunks
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 large onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 bay leaf
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pheasant chunks and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in the sweet potatoes, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Return the pheasant to the pot.
4. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the pheasant and vegetables are tender.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
7. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Helpful Tips

• Variation: For an added depth of flavor, try adding a diced apple or a handful of cranberries to the stew.
• Storage: This stew can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
• Substitution: If pheasant is not available, chicken thighs are a great alternative.

Pairings

This Pheasant and Sweet Potato Stew pairs wonderfully with a crusty baguette or a side of garlic mashed potatoes. For a refreshing beverage, a glass of chilled white wine or a cup of herbal tea complements the rich flavors perfectly.
