WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE GAME?
It’s no secret that despite living a free-range life, game is reared primarily for sport. In the west country, we are surrounded by estates that do this and so manage the eco systems that support a bounty of flora and fauna in the area. Our game is harvested by people licensed to do so and only during ‘designated’ seasons.
Ingredients
- 4 large pheasant breasts, cut into bite sized portions
- 300g rice crispies, crushed
- 1 orange/yellow bell Pepper, sliced thin
- 2inch piece ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 150ml teriyaki Sauce
- 100ml honey
- 100ml BBQ Sauce
- ½ tsp onion powder

- 2 eggs, beaten
- Sesame Seeds for garnish.
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°c
- Pour the bbq sauce, honey and teriyaki sauce into a jug and stir. Place to one side
- Slice the pheasant breasts into bite sized portions and place them in a freezer bag. Pour in the onion powder, garlic powder, chilli flakes and flour, holding the bag closed with one hand simply shake the bag to ensure the meat is evenly coated
- Crush the rice crispies to make a coarse crumb then transfer the mix to a bowl. Crack two eggs into a separate bowl and beat with a fork. Dredge the pheasant strips in the egg and roll in the crumb mix before placing them on a baking tray. Pop in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, once cooked remove and place to one side
- Pour 1 tbsp sesame oil into a large wok or frying pan and quickly fry up the ginger and sliced peppers until they have softened slightly. Add in the garlic and crispy pheasant slices then pour over the sauce. Make sure the pheasant is evenly coated in the sauce and cook for 2 minutes

Frequently asked questions
-
Typically, game meat is the flesh of land mammals or birds, that are hunted for food instead of being raised on a farm. Game meat includes, ‘small birds’ such as quail, ‘winged game’ such as woodcock, grouse or partridge, ‘ground game’ such as rabbit or hare and ‘large game’ such as venison.
-
Most game is only available during the autumn and winter, during the shooting season, this is followed by the ‘closed season’ when shooting is no longer allowed, this is essential for protecting animals when they are breeding and rearing their young. However, some game does not have a ‘closed season’, these game meats include rabbit and pigeon. At Coombe Farm Organic we freeze our game meat, making it available to you the consumer all year round.
-
