Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Heat butter in an ovenproof frying pan and brown the pheasant breast skin-side down for 3 minutes.

Flip the breast and roast in the oven for 10 minutes until cooked, then rest in a warm place.

Simmer pheasant legs, wine, onion, bay leaf, and tomato purée for 10 minutes, then strain and reserve the liquid.

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-based pan until a bread cube sizzles.

Deep fry carrot slices until golden and crisp, then drain on paper and season with salt.

Sauté chopped onion and carrot batons in olive oil for 5 minutes until softened.

Add chicken stock, bring to the boil, add peas, and simmer until tender.

Plate the peas, top with pheasant breast, and drizzle with the red wine jus.
