INDIVIDUAL SAVOURY RABBIT PUDDINGS - FROM LEFTOVER ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 210°C.
• If you are using a traditional metal muffin tray grease it then preheat for 10 minutes prior to baking.
• Prepare the french stick by cutting into 8 rounds, then in a separate bowl crack eggs, whisk them together and then whisk the milk inches.
• Soak the bread rounds in the egg mixture until completely drenched, about 20 minutes, like french toast.
• Combine rabbit and veggies in a bowl, slowly add cream to coat and make a dry sauce.
• Add the diced chile.
• When the bread rounds in the egg mixture are ready,.
• Cut the puff pastry into 9cm diameter rounds, or wide enough to cover the bottom and sides of each muffin hole to just a little below the rim.
• Fill with the rabbit mixture to the puff pastry line.
• Place the bread in the egg mixture on top of each pudding and push them firmly down into the rabbit mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until top of bread is dark gold and crispy.
• The puddings are moist but don't have any sauce in the centre so I served them with a mushroom sauce which was absorbed beautifully by the rabbit puddings. Serve as a main with sauce and veggies, or appetizer just with the sauce. This looks different, and your guests will be excited to try them, a great and inexpensive way to use up leftovers.
• Serve with a creamy chardonnay.

ROAST RABBIT WITH STUFFING

Steps:

• Rub the rabbit inside and out with a mixture of the lemon juice, fennel, sage, salt and pepper. Then refrigerate for at least two hours. In the meantime, prepare the stuffing.
• Melt butter in a saucepan. Add rice, then stirfy for a minute. Sir in water, salt, rosemary, pepper, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. Cover and bring to a boil, then allow to simmer over medium/low heat for 15 minutes. Stir in almonds and onions, then set aside for stuffing.
• In the meantime, combine all the ingredients for the basting juice and set aside.
• Stuff rabbit, then sew closed. Place in a roasting pan with 1 cup water, then baste generously. Cover, then place in a 350 degree F. preheated oven. Roast for an hour, basting lavishly every 20 minutes. Remove pan cover, then cook and continue basting, using pan juices if basting juice is finished, for another hour or until meat turns tender. If rabbit is not brown, broil for a few minutes. Serve piping hot.
• Note: If you use wild rabbit, clean and wash it while wearing gloves. If animal is diseased this will ensure that the cook will not catch the disease. Roasting will kill any bacteria making the rabbit safe to eat. Also, to eliminate the wild taste, soak the cleaned animal for at least two hours in a cup of vinegar mixed with enough water to cover the rabbit.
