Preparation steps

1.

Rinse and pat dry pheasant breasts, season with salt and pepper and wrap in bacon slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and cook meat until golden brown on all sides. Remove from pan and keep warm. Peel and rinse potatoes, cook in boiling salted water for about 25-30 minutes.

2.

Clean mushrooms and cut into slices. Peel shallot and chop finely. 

3.

Saute shallot in the same pan for 2-3 minutes and add currant juice and wine. Add orange zest, mustard and herbs, simmer for about 10 minutes on medium heat. In another pan, melt butter and saute mushrooms for 3-4 minutes on high heat. Season with salt and pepper.

4.

Drain potatoes and mash coarsely with a potato masher and season with nutmeg. Arrange potatoes and halved pheasant breasts on warmed plates, drizzle with sauce and serve immediately.
