- Combine marinade ingredients. Place pheasant pcs in a ceramic, plastic or possibly glass dish and pour marinade over. Cover and chill, turning occasionally. Marinate for 6 to 12 hrs.

- Pecan Pesto Vinaigrette: In a food processor or possibly blender, process pecan pcs, garlic, basil, lemon and a few Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil till it forms a paste. Add in parmesan cheese and vinegar. Pulse to blend. While motor is running, add in remaining oil in a thin stream till emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Let's say you found a pheasant in the back of your freezer and it's a year old or possibly more. The thing about meat is, it just doesn't get better with prolonged freezing. This is true with beef, more so with poultry and fishaforget about it. When it comes to fish, fresh is always best. But this recipe is about pheasant. If your bird has been frzn for awhile, it just might need a little help. Freezing tends to dry out meats, especially if you have not caught on to the vacuum-packaging thing. If you do not have a vacuum-packaging machine, go get one now.
- One of the best ways to help out a tired old frzn bird is with a good marinade. Marinades will add in flavor to meats which are long past fresh. Do not use marinades to cover up foods which either look bad or possibly smell bad. There's a reason they got which way and they should be disposed of. I like to serve this with rice.
