Dinner

[gothwalk]

Dinner today was roast rabbit, with similarly roast onions, carrots, and apple, and with colcannon instead of more mundane potatoes. A Chignin vin de Savoie accompanied. Afterwards, gorgonzola and brandy.

I feel rather well fed.

I prefer my rabbit in some kind of casserole or stew - it's such a lean meat that it's difficult to roast successfully.

Rather than roast in the open oven, I put it in a Pyrex covered dish, and dropped the veg in with it. It worked very well; the meat was dropping from the bones, and still very succulent.

Oh, so sort of like a pot roast? Any liquid in with it, drop of wine maybe?

I didn't put any in, although that's an idea for next time. But I've usually found that the rabbit itself, aided by the apples, has plenty of moisture.

Wow, haven't had rabbit in ages - must look it out at the local butchers (none of the supermarkets carry it, though I used to get it in Tesco, when I lived in Camberley).

This was one brucius brought up from home. Wild Irish Rabbit. I may have to learn to shoot.
