Yield: 4 people

Materials

  • 4 4 ounces Pheasant breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon shallot or onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Pritikin® All-Purpose Seasoning* devided
  • 1/4 cup bordeaux wine
  • 1/4 cup tomato juice (low sodium) (such as Very Veggie Low-Sodium Juice from Knudsen)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable stock (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup pearl onions peeled and thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine rosemary, sage, garlic, shallots, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning.
  • Add pheasant breasts. Use mixture to season breasts by rubbing mixture thoroughly onto breasts. Let sit in refrigerator for one hour.
  • In a large hot nonstick skillet, sear pheasant breasts on both sides until brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add Bordeaux and cook, covered, over medium heat until wine reduces by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Add tomato juice, stock, and remaining tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning mixture. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, turning breasts every 5 minutes.
  • Before serving, top each breast with pearl onions and, if desired, cooked baby vegetables.
