Thread: Roast hare

I prefer hare to rabbit now and so does the missus. Makes a good poor man's substitute to venison in a stir fry done with sesame oil, honey and soy sauce and a little salt and sugar. Hmmmm there's tomorrow night's tea sorted

Yummay.................when I was working in queenstown I shot a heap of hares and tried them many ways - I gave a some to a neighbour who boned a couple of them out and shreaded the meat and cooked a couple of bacon / Hare and walnut open top pies - they where brilliant the best pie ive ever had.

If you get a few of them try Hare back straps dusted in seasoned flour / wrapped in steaky bacon and quickly fried in rice bran oil ..... that's some good eating

No Pics of said feast , @mrs dundee .. falling well below the standards set by @Dundee ....

Ya all seen them before @kiwi39 not much different.

The reason we eat game apart from hunting it is to savour the game flavour we don't add fancy shit too it.

Watties goes on my spuds before anyone starts.

If ya don't like meat that has a strong flavour go to ya supermarket and buy some mutton.

Them pies sound the goods.. Im a huge fan of rabbit. Its beautiful. Hare is just a bit strong for me personally. I had 'jugged' hare when in Paris. The only time ive thoroughly enjoyed it. But perhaps that was the wine clouding my judgment.

BH - just slow stewed in the crock pot.

Put mine in at 10am and was ready to go at 6pm.

I added potatoes, carrot and onion - but just add the veggies you like really.

Coat rabbit or hare legs in rosemary, oregano, thyme and sage. A little bit of salt and a good amount of pepper with a glazing of olive oil will seal the deal. Let that sit in its own goodness overnight in the fridge if you've got time but 20 mins before you pop it in the crock pot will suffice as all the flavours will blend in time anyway! Can also add lemon juice if you want a bit of zest too.

Sit the coated meat (legs work best) and vege in a bit of water in the crock pot. 1-3 cups depending on meat quantity and crock pot size - you want enough for it to steam all day but you don't want to boil the bugger!!! I placed the plums which I soaked in a blended scotch over night on top of the meat at about 2pm with 4 hours to go. Prunes work just fine too - I know a man who uses dates which also taste fairly spectacular.

Check it throughout the day but it won't burn within this amount of time, just make sure it's cooked through - good ol crock pots!

Serve with lager in summer and ale in winter.

Enjoy
