"More from the Lady Laird of Ballindallock Castle, she says these pheasants have a homely rustic flavour. Any new idea with pheasant is welcome in these parts."

The sauce is to die for!...we loved it...I used pheasant breast...they were on the small side so hubby got 2 while I got 1...there was plenty of sauce...I served some on the side for dipping...I did cut the butter down for the foil cooking process...it just seemed way too much...the pheasant came out nice and moist...but the highlight of the dish is the sauce...thanks for posting the recipe...it's a keeper...=) -
Linds, this sauce was excellent!! I'm a Dijon mustard fiend, so this was right up my alley. I used large bone-in chicken breast halves instead of pheasant because I don't have a clue where to find pheasant in TX- and the husband probably wouldn't eat it anyway. Increased the cook time to almost an hour and the chicken came out perfect. I'm thinking the sauce would be good over thick-cut boneless pork loin chops, too.

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful.
