Directions

  1. Wash the Belgian endives, remove the bitter stem, and store them tightly in the bottom of a casserole dish. ≈ 8 min
  2. Season with salt and pepper, cover with water halfway up, and let simmer for about 30 minutes, covered.
  3. While this is happening, season the pheasant inside and out with salt and pepper, and brown it in a roasting pan over high heat.
  4. Add some delicious butter and walnuts, and bake at approximately 180 °C for about 30 minutes, basting regularly.
  5. Remove the pheasant and keep it warm. Deglaze the pan with the port and 10 cl of water, scrape up the juices, and let them reduce slightly.
  6. Once the water from the Belgian endives has evaporated, turn the heat up, sprinkle them with sugar, and return them to the pan to caramelize on all sides.
  7. Serve the sliced pheasant with Belgian endive, the sauce, and apple fritters. ≈ 2 min
