| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Skin and clean a hare.
|
2. Cut off its head well below the neck, as the head and neck of a hare are of inferior flavor.
|
3. Make small incisions in the skin and fill them with lard or fat bacon.
|
4. Rub well with salt, place a few peppercorns inside the body and roast in a moderate oven (350°F) for 2 hours, basting frequently.
|
5. Hares are usually very lean, so at least 4 oz. of fat should be used for the roasting.
|
6. When the hare is cooked lift it on to another dish and keep hot.
|
7. Pour away the fat from the roasting tin, leaving only the brown sediment.
|
8. To this add ˝ pint of sour cream and slowly stir in a dessertspoonful of flour and mix well.
|
9. Blend and cook the sauce carefully and pour it over the carved hare.
|
10. Serve with beetroot puree.
