Discover the Origin Recipe - Parma Ham wrapped Pheasant

Many of us have struggled with complicated recipes in the past only to produce a culinary disaster, but have wowed our friends and family with a simple salad, all because we have made sure everything that has gone into it has been of the highest quality.

Well one way of knowing that you are using the best products and ingredients is by making sure you are getting the real deal from the certified region of origin, like Parma Ham from Parma or Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal. Make sure you check for the PDO, AOC or DOC mark on products such as Burgundy wines, Port and Douro Valley wines, Parma Ham and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to ensure that you will be rewarded with excellent quality.

To show you how much of a difference using authentic ingredients can make to your cooking, top chef Mike Robinson Chef Patron of the Pot Kiln and co-owner of the Michelin starred Harwood Arms has joined with Discover the Origin to create a fabulous and simple dish that is sure to become a firm favourite in your culinary repertoire.

And to make sure you are getting the most out of your dishes with the correct wine match, UK Sommelier of the Year 2008 Gearoid Devaney MS has also come on board to show us how an authentic drop can enhance your dining experience.

In the following video Mike wraps fresh and locally sourced pheasant in delicious Parma Ham, while Gearoid matches the dish with a mouth watering red from the Douro Valley region of Portugal.
