You can find my sauce for pheasant recipe , a classic wild poultry jus, in this post.
In addition to the quail sauce, the goosee sauce, the pheasant sauce is just as great.
You can prepare the pheasant a day in advance, then use the carcasses.
I usually eat pheasant for 2-3 days.
On the first day pheasant breast with potatoes and porcini stock.
On the second day the pheasant legs with mashed potatoes and jus
On the third day, gnocchi with leftover meat, fresh vegetables and jus.
I wish you a lot of fun while tasting and afterwards in the kitchen!

Alternatively, you can use ice cubes to cool down.

Add red wine to the sauce.

3. Sauce For Pheasant Tips
For a fine and strong sauce with pheasant, please note the following tips:
Roast Carcasses
You can roast raw carcasses or carcasses from roasted poultry.
Those who have never done this tend to roast the carcasses too lightly.
One hour at 175°C-180°C is a good recommendation for dark roasting the poultry carcasses.
Vegetable Roast Approach
Cut the vegetables into small pieces.
I often cut thin slices or small cubes.
Cubes and thin slices offer plenty of space for frying vegetables.
Give yourself a little more time to fry, the vegetables should be fried well and light brown.
Tomato
Add the tomato paste and sauté.
Here is a common source of error:
The tomato paste needs to roast from red to dark red to brown in color.
This is the only way to create the important roasting substances and the dark colour.
Extinguishing
Deglaze the roasted vegetables with port wine, red wine and veal stock or broth or water.
Veal stock produces a particularly strong jus.
You can also add broth or water and taste the sauce later.
Please scrape the residue from frying from the bottom of the pot and bring to the boil.
Prepare the Sauce Cold
The bones and roasted roots of the vegetables should be cold.
Cooking slowly for 30-45 minutes releases most of the flavor from the ingredients.
Allow the ingredients to cool or cool with ice cubes.
Bind Sauce
I showed the tried and true method using grated potatoes here.
Another alternative is cold-mixed cornstarch.
Slowly add the starch water to the boiling sauce and thicken the sauce to taste.
It’s helpful to put the sauce on a cold plate to test the binding.
Pass Sauce
In the classic kitchen, this sauce is passed through a strainer before serving.
In this way, the remaining cloudy matter can be filtered out.
If you want to use a straining cloth, please boil it in boiling water beforehand to remove any wax residue.
Alternatively, you can mix up the sauce.
Assemble And Taste
You can finely season the taste of the sauce with salt, pepper, a little sugar, orange zest, dark chocolate and gingerbread spice.
Mix the sauce with cold butter just before serving.
