Ingredients

  • 2 whole pheasants
  • 50 grams Flora ProActiv buttery spread

  • 1 chicken stock pot
  • 600 ml cider
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs of thyme
  • 2 dessert apples

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170° C/150° C fan/Gas mark 3. Heat half of the Flora Buttery in a frying pan, and brown the pheasants all over, then place in a suitably sized casserole dish. Season with pepper.
  2. Cut the onions into quarters and quarter again. Fry them until golden and add them to the casserole.

  4. Cut the apples into eight slices. Heat the remaining Buttery in a frying pan and fry the apple slices until golden, add the sugar and cook until it begins to caramelise.
  5. Boil the potatoes until cooked. Drain and mash with the milk and Flora ProActiv. Season with black pepper.
