Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, rehydrate the dried forest and shiitake mushrooms in warm water according to package instructions. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Drain the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Finely chop the rehydrated mushrooms. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Sauté the pheasant meat with minced garlic and dried basil until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the pheasant from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

05

Step

Add butter to the skillet. Sauté finely chopped shallots, rehydrated mushrooms, and chopped portobello mushroom until golden brown and softened. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the sliced sun-dried tomatoes and all but 1/4 cup of the reserved mushroom soaking liquid. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

07

Step

In a small bowl, dissolve arrowroot powder in the remaining 1/4 cup of mushroom soaking liquid to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the mushroom mixture in the skillet. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

08

Step

Return the sautéed pheasant meat to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cover. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

09

Step

Simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the pheasant is tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. (Cook time: 30 minutes)

10

Step

Season with salt to taste. Serve hot over your favorite pasta or rice, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or Marsala wine to the mushroom mixture during the sautéing process.
If you don't have arrowroot powder, cornstarch can be used as a substitute.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a final touch of color and freshness.
