Method

1. Take any leftover meat from the roast pheasant sand set aside with the veggies. Make a quick stock by frying the pheasant bones in a bit of olive oil for a few moments. Add the finely chopped onion/leek and carrot, along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Let these sizzle for 15 mins, then cover with just enough water to barely cover. Let it rapidly boil for 10-15 mins.

2. While it cooks, sizzle the leftover meat and veg with the spiced butter. If you're using Mediterranean, add the tinned tomatoes and top up with 1-2 mugs (or tomato tins) of stock (strain it first!). If you're using root veggies, just top them up with the stock - enough to make the stew as thick or as thin as you like.

3. Serve with a scattering of herbs and a nice wedge of bread.
