Easter lunch - I'm planning to make an Easter Bunny pie, but need to source me some wild rabbit. Any ideas where I may lay hands on such a thing? William Rose only have farmed. I could order online, but I'd end up paying as much for the delivery as I would for the meat itself.


Also, any genius ideas on a vegetarian pie for two that feels festive, and will still go with whatever sides I decide on for the rabbit pie?


Oh, and lastly, how do I make vegetarian roast potatoes delicious? Any advance on olive oil, rosemary, garlic?

H has it.

Barring that bung them in hot tray and generous splurge of cold olive oil is fine as, let's face it, oven doesn't need to get that hot.

Presimmer your garlic in milk to sweeten and roast for about 45m-1hr depending on clove size.

Good sprinkle of crushed salt too.


Wild rabbit. A bloke with wellies and shotgun is probably your best bet.

Did you know that every time vegetarians take a breath they're breathing at least two molecules of the last breath a porker took in an abbatoir?


How must that feel when they won't even eat food that has been touched by a utensil that once touched meat?


*shakes head sorrowfully*

Furness at Borough Mkt can get wild rabbit.


Rapeseed oil with added sage, rosemary and sea salt for crisp tatties.


For the vegemalarians do a hearty portobello mushroom type pie topped with thinly sliced parsnips brushed with truffle oil... it may taste like crap but they won't complain as you have gone to so much trouble ;-)

Curtain's Classic Dry Roasted Spuds



Par-boil some chunky spuds until nearly soft through with 2-3 cracked but not skinned cloves of garlic in the salted water.

Drain off, but be careful as they are delicate when hot. Turn out onto a couple of plates and leave somewhere to cool well

( this firms them up & alters the starch structure in the spud )


Take a pan and heat olive/rapeseed oil mix until hot. Place the spuds in batches in a large bowl with some of the hot oil in the bottom, drizzle the oil over the top and then gently toss them ( this coats and roughens them ) I also scatter some rosemary over them at this stage


A light twist of salt & pepper


Take a baking flat covered in heavy baking paper/sheet ( screw it up, then pull it out flat-ish so it catches any loose oil in the crinkles ) and bake/dry roast the spuds in a hot fan oven at 210 ish.


They roast to a really golden but light/crispy outer ( and virtually oil free )


In fact, they are heavenly.



Rabbit


Look up the Kent Game Dealer who trades at Brockley Market.

He'll shoot you some Rabbit or Hare to order.


Veggie Pie.


Make a short pastry crust case with a herbed/cheese Veggie suet cobbler top.


Pre-roast a chunky selection of carrots, Butternut & the blue skinned squash, with banana shallots thyme & garlic until firm but not yet ready. A little balsamic works well here.


Leave the veg to cool


Grilled mushrooms add intense flavour


Make the liquid with pearl barley cooked in a good veg stock like Kallo until thick and glossy ( carrot, celery, onion & bay )


Add ale or a little sherry, a little cayenne heat maybe


Assemble, glaze and bake the pie



Other than that....dunno



Netts:-S

Tell me about it. I think it was just after the little man had managed to scream me awake. Otherwise he's a bonny baby. Looks a bit like Eric Pickles!


Braise it in cider with herbs and veg and then whisk in cream and mustard at the end. Maybe some tarragon.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
