Ingredients
- 4 skinless and boneless pheasant breasts
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons redcurrant jelly melted
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard

To Cook
Brush the breasts with the melted jelly and then press the breadcrumbs into the pheasant. If time allows refrigerate for an hour or so.
Heat the butter and oil in a pan and cook the pheasants over a high heat to ensure the crumb coating is golden brown. Reduce and cook for 5 minutes or so.
Combine the mustard, cream and seasonings in a bowl, and then pour over the pheasant and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through.
