Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Light pine needles in a pan with a blowtorch and smoke the pheasant on a wire rack for 5 minutes under foil.

Serve the pheasant with artichokes, chicory, sauce, and oyster leaves.

Blend most of the chicory with oysters and lemon juice, then strain through a sieve and season.

Caramelize sugar and chicory halves with butter in a pan, then deglaze with stout and cook until tender.

Simmer artichokes in oil, herbs, and water until tender, then cool, dry, and fry until crisp.

Rub duck fat into the pheasant skin and roast skin-side down in the oven for 10 minutes.
