  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Boil the rice with the chicken stock, cook until soft and most of the liquid is gone. </li>
		<li>Add the onion, carrot, garlic and apricot. Cook until the vegetables are soft and all liquid has been absorbed. Refrigerate rice mixture until cold.  </li>
		<li>In a food processor, puree pheasant tenders to a paste consistency to use as a binder for rice mix. </li>
		<li>When rice is cool, add the pheasant puree to the rice until well mixed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and return to refrigerator until ready to stuff. </li>
		<li>Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. </li>
		<li>Make 10 small football shaped patties of the rice mix, stuff inside the pheasant, being careful not to overstuff the pheasant. Rub herb/oil mixture on top and bottom of the pheasant, season with salt and pepper. Place the pheasant on a heavy gauge roasting pan and then in a preheated oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with lid or foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve over sauté of spinach.</li>
