How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Cut the hare in pieces not larger than a small egg and coat them with some of the flour.
|
2. Melt the fat in a saucepan, put in the onions and the bacon, cut in strips, and toss over the heat until lightly browned.
|
3. Then lift these out and brown the hare in the same fat, sprinkling over it the remainder of the flour.
|
4. Put all into a crock or fireproof casserole and season with pepper, salt and a little Cayenne pepper.
|
5. Add the bouquet garni, wine and enough stock to cover.
|
6. Cover closely and cook in a moderate oven (350°F) until tender.
|
7. It is a good plan to stand the casserole or crock in a tin and keep a little water round it.
|
8. Just before serving, remove the bouquet garni and add a few forcemeat balls.
|
9. Serve red-currant or cranberry jelly separately.
