About

When I worked for Rebeka Hardy (the best boss I ever had) at Danehill, she also ran a successful family shoot so I had a great deal of pheasant to work with. I bitterly resented buying forcemeat for terrines and so I made this. Press down well when making it or it may crumble, but I am delighted with it.

Ingredients

2 pheasants
1 cup sweet red vermouth
2 pounds bacon</

Method

Cut both the light and dark meat from the pheasants and then cut it into strips the thickness of, and half the length of, your little finger. Soak overnight in the vermouth in the refrigerator. Line a greased terrine or loaf pan with bacon slices making sure there are no gaps, but reserving enough bacon to later cover the terrine.
