Pheasant Cacciatore with Creamy Polenta
Im not a chef, nor have I ever claimed to be one, but I do enjoy cooking and so does my wife. When we were dating, one of the first dishes I cooked for her was a Chicken Cacciatore with some homemade French Bread. She married me, so it probably wasnt all that bad, right?! Over the years, weve cooked a lot of meals together, you can find plenty of photos of the food we prepared on our social media feeds. In fact, we have a small food blog, #wecooktogether, were well post some recipes we liked or prepared. Weve created a lot of themed meals based on shows like Game of Thrones, Lord of Rings, Shark Week and the NFL Playoffs. Id been wanting to recreate that Cacciatore recipe for a while now, kind of a nod to that first pre marriage meal. When I got a hold of these Wild Ramps, I immediately knew I wanted to used them to re-create that meal. I had been wanted to do a foraging / hunter style dishes and Cacciatore was the first thing that came to mind. Cacciatore literally translates to Hunter in Italian and usually consist of poultry braised in onions, garlic, tomatoes and wine, with some additional seasonings. As Wild Ramps are in the same family of vegetables as Onions and Garlic, I thought I could use some of the Ramps bulbs as a replacement to some of those other ingredients. Mushrooms are another popular forage item and while they might not be in a traditional Cacciatore dish, Im adding them here cause I want to.
Pheasant Noodle Soup
With the Coronavirus pandemic ongoing and the flu season fast approaching in the United States, I thought I'd try to post a recipe that's a classic folk remedy all around the world. When I was dating my wife, Tami, who just so happens to be a nurse ... she would brag about how she never got sick. Wouldn't you know it ... A few weeks later, she was sporting a temperature and couldn't get out of bed. One night, on the way to her house, I stopped at the local Walmart and purchased everything I needed to make some good old fashion homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. I made a huge batch that she'd be able to eat on for days, hoping that it'd help her feel a little better. To this day, she still talks about that soup! I don't know if it was that good or if the virus she had just made her that delirious. Anyway, this is my attempt to recreate that recipe with Pheasant and some homemade vegetable broth.
