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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
