1 wild pheasant

1 cup mixed dried fruit
1 1/2 cups wild rice

Form a small pan from the foil and mix the above ingredients in a small bowl. Pour mix into foil pan. Place filled, foil pan into bottom of a 12”, deep Dutch oven, then place a round cake rack over pan in the pot.

Rub pheasant with your favorite pepper mix or plain black pepper. Smoke pheasant in Dutch oven over very high heat for 10 minutes. Be sure heat source is directly under foil pan in Dutch oven, to burn the mix in the pan. Remove foil pan and bird, set aside.
