Grilled Pheasant Kabobs
|
1-1 1/2 pounds Pheasant breast strips
|
12 slices bacon, cut into thirds
|
6 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
|
36 toothpicks
|
Method: |
1. Cut the pheasant breast into 36 pieces. Marinate in Italian dressing for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. (Indoor grilling is possible with a counter top grill or by using your oven's broiler option.)
3. Drain the marinade from the pheasant and discard. Place a slice of jalapeno pepper onto each piece of pheasant breast, and wrap with a third
of a strip of bacon. Skewer 6 of the pheasant pieces on each skewer.
4. Cook on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until the bacon is crispy, 15-20 minutes. If you would rather, you can use your oven's broiler to make these tasty bites too. Set your oven to broil, keep the rack about 6 " from the heat source or you'll cook them too quickly and they'll dry out. Turn at about 10 min to make sure both sides of the bacon gets crispy.
Remove the skewers from the pheasant pieces, and place a toothpick into each piece to serve, plain or with a ranch sauce to cool the peppers. Enjoy!
