Well I guess this really is rabbit. Bit squeamish about this one! I can remember my grandma making rabbit stew and being made to sit at the table ( for hours!!!!!) because I refused to eat it.
The chapter today is called "Eating Bunny" - which is exactly how I felt as a child. Mr Slater talks about "..........simmering bunny bits in stock with onions and fennel...." Oh dear !
Anyway determined to try every recipe onwards and upwards. Sourcing a rabbit involved a day out until we found a farm shop selling rabbit. It was wild rabbit and whole, fortunately the butcher there very kindly jointed it for me.
The sauce in this dish is very rich and I have to confess I quite enjoyed the rabbit. Husband complained there was not enough meat on the rabbit and it being a wild rabbit had, perhaps, been running around too much!!!!!!
Might try this recipe with chicken next time.
I served A salad of radishes and spring onions with the rabbit.
I hate radishes, my husband loves them, I love salad, my husband doesn't! So let's see what we make of this.
Well we made a lot of this salad - very refreshing and an excellent accompaniment to the rabbit with its very rich sauce. Certainly will make this one again.
