How To Cook: |
|
|
1. For this dish you need all the blood of the hare, and the liver.
|
2. Put the cleaned hare in a baking tin and cover the back with about ¼ pound butter and lard mixed, smearing it on thickly.
|
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, pour ¼ pint vinegar over and put in a moderately hot oven (400°F).
|
4. Pound the liver with the blood, place over a low heat, add about ½ pound butter and lard mixed, and stir until the fat is completely melted.
|
5. Boil 1 pint creamy milk and add the liver mixture and seasoning.
|
6. Pour this over the hare, and continue to cook (basting often to keep the flesh moist) for 1½ - 2 hours, lowering the heat towards the end of the time.
|
7. Before serving, taste the sauce, and if necessary add the juice of ½ a lemon to sharpen the flavor, and a pinch of pepper.
