For those who love strawberries:
Cut the pomegranate in half. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon (get a few seeds back for decoration) and place in a suitable bowl with the walnut oil, vegetable soup, champagne vinegar, a little salt and pepper and a splash of grenadine syrup.
Mash the whole until the pulp is completely dissolved from the seeds and finally strain through a sieve.
Season the pheasant breasts with salt and turn them in flour to the other side. Heat oil and butter in a frying pan (not too). Add thyme and juniper berries. Fry the meat briefly on both sides, always baste with the fat. Cook at 160 °C for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning the meat and pouring the fat over it. Then rest for a little while.
Cut the chicory into quarters and remove the stalk. Pass the chicory leaves through the pomegranate vinaigrette and arrange on plates.
Arrange the sliced pheasant meat on top. Pour the salad dressing over it, perhaps garnish with leftover pomegranate seeds.
Serve with a German Riesling.
