  1. Trim pheasants of excess fat in body cavity.  Heat a little oil in a cast-iron pan and seal pheasants thoroughly, turning carefully until the entire outside is light golden brown. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  2. Add onion, carrot and celery to the same pan and cook for 2 mintues.
  3. Add leeks and cook for further 2 minutes over brisk heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add red wine and port and reduce to ½, then add stock, bouquet garni and berries.
  5. Return pheasants to cooking pan, check seasoning, cover and cook in a slow oven, gas 3, 340°F / 170°C for 35 minutes until tender. Strain and reduce to a sauce. Pour off all fat from the pan.
  6. Remove bouquet garni and press through a sieve to make a smooth sauce.  Carve pheasant.
  7. Serve the pheasant with a potato fondant, braised red cabbage, brussel sprouts and a few chestnuts, but a few roast potatoes, mash or game chips would be great too.
