Recipe - Pot roast pheasant leg and roast crown with chestnut dumpling and blackberry sauce
Serves 4 Pot roast legs 2 whole pheasants, 2 carrots, 2 red onions 3 sticks celery, 100ml red wine 500ml chicken stock, Table salt 2 sprigs rosemary’, 4 cloves garlic Chop the carrots, celery & onion into uniform pieces, place into a heavy bottomed sauce pan and fry over a high heat in a little oil. Add the pheasant legs and cook until the skin starts to brown, then add the garlic and rosemary. Add the red wine and stock and braise at 150oC for 3 hours. Allow to cool a little, then strip the meat into sections, discarding any sinew, bones or large pieces of fat. Pass the cooking liquor through a sieve and chill well to separate the fat from the jus. Now roll the leg meat in cling film to form a sausage shape and chill for at least 2 hours. Once the pheasant leg is set, cut into 5 cm thick disks and pan roast in a little vegetable oil until well coloured. Place these discs into a casserole dish with the pheasant juices & add the shaped dumplings. Finish in the oven at 180oC for about 15 minutes.
Roast Pheasant crown 1 whole pheasant crown Salt & pepper 50g butter Season the crown well with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy based frying pan and add a little vegetable oil, colour well then add the butter and roast at 180oC for 12 minutes, turning just once. Blackberry Jus 100g blackberries Jus from pheasant legs Heat the jus, add the butter & allow the sauce to thicken, then drop in the blackberries and serve. Serve with seasonal vegetables and mashed potato.

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Andy Routledge feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.
Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Elland, Greetland, Stainland, West Vale, Holywell Green, Sowood and Jagger Green areas & Andy is finding that his approach is a major
factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done
work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Andy a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
