Rabbit Casserole

Rabbit Casserole recipe, eat well on universal credit

Although we often resort of using the supermarkets it's probably not the best move, budget wise. Shop locally is a well know phrase. I was in the middle of York on Monday and bought enough veg for the week and a fresh Rabbit for less than £8. Even if it had been the supermarket “Wonky” veg it would have been considerably more than this and they certainly don't have fresh local Rabbit available. Another bonus is that the Veg from the market is notably fresher, we can't buy root veg in advance from the supermarket, a draw full of Carrot slime is wasteful and really not nice.....
 
So you've got a fresh Rabbit, an ex-butcher, a chef and a shed load of vegetables. What do you make?
 
It had to be Rabbit Casserole really!
 
Ingredients:-
 
1 small Rabbit cut into pieces. (There are three obvious “Joints” on a Rabbit, front, loin and rear. But you can use kitchen scissors to cut these front to back to make the Rabbit fit into the pot if you wish.)
1 Onion, sliced
1 Carrot cut into large batons
2 Potatoes, cubed
An equal amount of Swede as Potato, cubed
1 Pint of Stock with added Cornflour
A slug of Fish Sauce
A slug of Worcester Sauce
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Chilli flakes
Salt & Pepper
Rosemary
Basil
Mushrooms, quartered
Oil
 
Method:-
 
(1) Coat the Rabbit in a little Oil and season with Salt, herbs and spices.
(2) In the slow cooker (or casserole dish if you are using the oven) layer the Potatoes and vegetables then add the Rabbit.
(3) Pour over the Stock.
(4) Allow to simmer gently for 4+ hours.
(5) Add the Mushrooms after about 3 hours and season to taste.
 
We had home made Onion and Beetroot Bhajis with ours and dressed the casserole with fried Beetroot tops to add a bit of colour.

Italian Style Vegetarian Pizza with a Yorkshire twist

We like to set ourselves little challenges and the latest is our “Vegetarian Alphabet”. We got to “I” without too much difficultly (Click here) but “I” proved to be a bit of a problem. Sue came up with Inka Berries which a a form of dehydrated Physalis and we had plans for a chutney. But due to Lock-Down we are very limited for places we can buy from locally and they turned out to be impossible to get without buying a large bag on-line, which kind of defeats the £4 and meal concept.

So back to an old favourite with a couple of twists. (1) We would normally have some form of meat on a Giant Yorkshire Pudding Pizza! (2) We actually made the Mozzarella by hand and it was very authentic taste wise.

Ingredients for the Giant Yorkshire Pudding Pizza Batter:-

40g Plain (Gluten free) Flour
80g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 Eggs
Salt & Pepper
Oil - for the tray

Method:-

(1) Heat a deep sided oven try in the oven to 220c with quite a bit of Oil
(2) Whisk the butter vigorously.
(3) Pour into the smoking hot tray and return to the oven as quickly as possible.
(4) Cook at 220c for 30 to 40 minutes until risen and golden brown.
(5) Remove, drain and allow to cool.
(6) Add Tomato based sauce to the bottom.
(7) Layer your sliced vegetables. We used Onions, Mushrooms and a Red Pepper.
(8) add lots of  Mozzarella and sprinkle with dried mixed Herb.
(9) Return to the oven until the Cheese has melted and slightly browned.

We dressed ours with a few pickled Chive heads and some fresh Parsley.
