Rabbit

I found a great recipe for Rabbit Pie via The Fabulous Baker Brothers. This sounds really mouth watering and I can’t wait to try it.

Ingredients

  • 500g rabbit, diced
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 100g bacon lardons
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Good pinch of fresh thyme
  • Knob of butter
  • 100g wild mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 1 potato, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 400ml chicken stock
  • Splash of sherry vinegar
  • Small handful tarragon, finely chopped

For the shortcrust pastry

  • 600g strong white flour
  • 150g cold beef dripping, broken into pieces
  • 150g cold butter, diced
  • 2 tbsp ice cold water

'Death by Sushi' Fish can kill me.
