get yer air rifle and have rabbit pie! Really nice with a bit of piegon
sausage and wabbit in them Nice thick gwavy and lossa uniuns, topped off
with Mr waitrose puff pastry.

Cut up onions, and sizzle till golden brown. Add bacon scraps and
sausages for fat and flavour

Skin pigeons and wabbits, and cut off all the nice bits and chop into
chunks for the pan. Give the rest to the dog/cat/mother in law.

Coat in flour, and fry gently till pretty to look at.

Add water, or vegetable stock or chicken stock and some soy sauce for
flavour and colour. Pepper is good too, simmer till almost tender. You
can add ale, cider, sherry or red wine for varous flavours, also nutmeg
and the usual scarborough fair herb suite

Shove in pie dish, add pastry top decorating with playboy style rabbit
logo, and bake in top of aga for about 40 minutes. Put in some jacket
potatoes at the same time.

Serve with steamed green beans or vegetable of choice, with lots of beer
of favorite brand.

MMMM


I have a very similar recipe. Works excellently and will keep for
ages in the simmering oven if people are late (assuming it isn't eaten
first) :-)

Regarding the baked potatoes; have you tried rubbing the skins with
sea salt before baking them? That really enhances the flavour and
crisps the skins nicely. I like Maldon salt best for this.



Not usually, but I know the technique.
