PHEASANT POTPIE
A hearty meal in itself, this savory pie features delicious pheasant. Here in central Pennsylvania, that game bird isn't as plentiful as in times past, and so this dish is a real treat. I make it for special occasions. -Tawnya Coyne, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

He hunts them and brings them home and I cook em'. This is a great easy way to eat pheasant. It is really good and no one even knows it's pheasant. Just watch out for the shot! Cut the calories by using vegetable broth and skim milk, add them by chicken broth and whole milk. Mushrooms are also a good addition.

Steps:
- Crust:Combine flours, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Evenly drizzle with 6 tablespoons cold water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons more cold water). Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Press into a flattened rectangle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight. (Dough can be frozen up to 1 month; thaw in refrigerator the day before using.)
- Filling:In a large pot, combine pheasants, bay leaf, broth, and enough water to cover (6 to 8 cups). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until pheasants are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer pheasants to a plate; let cool. When cool enough to handle, pull meat from bones and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. (You should have about 4 cups meat.) Discard skin and bones.
- Skim fat from broth; return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to 4 cups.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add flour and thyme and stir until vegetables are well coated, about 2 minutes. Slowly add reduced broth, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pheasant meat, peas, pearl onions, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Pour filling into a 9-by- 13-inch baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a 13-by-16-inch rectangle. Cut two 1-inch-wide strips from long side, and one 1-inch-wide strip from short side. From these strips, cut long, oval feathers. Using a butter knife, score a line along center of each feather (don't slice all the way through). Using a paring knife, cut several short, parallel slices along outer edges of feathers to create fringe. Transfer feathers to freezer. To create herringbone pattern on remaining dough, gently press the tines of a fork into pastry (not going all the way through). Starting from top left corner, make diagonal hatch marks along edge of pastry. Switch direction of fork tines and repeat, creating alternating rows, until entire pastry is covered. Cut a vent in center of dough with a 1-inch round cutter; refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Center dough over filling. Tuck extra dough under while gently pinching to crimp edge. Brush egg wash over dough. Arrange feathers on crust and brush with egg wash. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

- Pat thighs dry, keeping breasts covered and chilled, and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown thighs on all sides, skin sides down first, transferring with tongs to a large flameproof casserole (preferably shallow).

Add porcini, shiitake, white mushrooms, and salt and pepper to taste and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated. Slowly add all but about 1 tablespoon reserved porcini liquid, discarding last tablespoon (which contains sediment), and boil until liquid is evaporated. Add gin and wine and bring to a boil. Remove skillet from heat and ignite liquid carefully. When flames die out return skillet to heat and boil until liquid is evaporated. Add 2 cups stock and bring to a boil.

Add breasts to mushroom mixture in skillet and cook on top of stove at a bare simmer, uncovered, turning once, 8 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer breasts with tongs to bowl and cool. Pour cooking liquid through a large fine sieve into a large bowl, reserving mushrooms, and measure liquid. Add enough remaining pheasant stock to measure 4 cups liquid total.
- In a steamer set over boiling water steam vegetables separately, transferring all vegetables to a large bowl. Allow about 5 minutes cooking time for just-tender celery; 8 minutes for just-tender turnips, parsnips, and onions; and 10 minutes for just-tender carrots.
- Cut pheasant breasts into 1 1/2-inch chunks and cut thighs into chunks, discarding skin and bones. In a 3-quart oval gratin dish (about 15 by 10 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches) or other shallow baking dish toss together vegetables and pheasant chunks.
- In a large saucepan combine stock mixture and reserved mushrooms and bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to stock mixture, stirring. Simmer sauce 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over pheasant mixture. Filling may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring filling to room temperature before proceeding.

Cut three 1/4-inch-wide pastry strips and braid together for pastry braid around rim of baking dish. Continue to cut and braid more strips from pastry to fit around rim of baking dish, transferring braids to a tray. From remaining rolled-out pastry cut out 2 long feathers for decoration, transferring to tray. Chill braids and feathers.
