Extra Spicy General Tso Pheasant
I have a surplus of hot chili peppers from the garden this year. Lots of Jalapeño, Haberano, Serrano and Cayenne. You can only make so many jars pickled peppers before you need to start finding other uses for them. Since I like my General Tso extra spicy, I decide to use some of my Cayenne peppers I grew to make my Genearal Tso sauce ... and they did not disappoint! I dried a bunch of my peppers in the oven, not sure of what I wanted to do with them, just wanted to preserve them. I sliced up some of my dried Cayenne peppers and added them to some sesame oil with some sliced garlic and just let it hang around for a few hours. I then used that as a base for my sauce, adding in Pheasant Stock, Soy Sauce, Hoisin, Rice Vinegar, Brown Sugar, Grated Ginger and more Garlic.
I also made a marinade from Soy Sauce, Vodka, Hoisin, Cayenne Peppers, Rice Vinegar, Grated Ginger and Garlic. The marinade is use to favor the Pheasant before frying it. Asllow it to soak in this marinade for a few hours in the refrigerator. The Vodka is going to help make a crispy crust when we fry the Pheasant.

Visit authors website | View more articlesYou may think cooking and recipes don’t have much to do with a website dedicated to hunting dogs ... but really, why do we hunt? Sure, we enjoy watching our dogs work in the field and being outdoors, but ultimately, hunting is about survival and feeding our families. We might as well try to do it well. I'm not a chef and definitely no food authority ... but I do like to eat and enjoy cooking. After searching for people willing to share their recipes on Gundog Central, without much success, I decided to try to do a few on my own, with my wife Tami's help. The recipes I share here are things I like to eat and have made here at home. I've tried to include step-by-step instructions with each meal describing exactly how I did it, but my method may not be best, if you decide to try a recipe posted here, please use whatever technique you think works best, I'm simply sharing how I did it. You'll see a lot of recipes where I've tried to make things from starch, when I could have just used store bought ingredients, simply because I wanted to learn how something was done. My goal is to continually update these recipes as I learn new things and techniques. These are my attempts at creating good, home cooked food, that I would like to eat! If I'm sharing it here, my family and I enjoyed it and I believe you will too.
