Rabbit Mushroom Hotpot Food

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO HOT POT AT HOME

Steps:

• Partially frozen is significantly easier to cut into thin slices, since it holds its shape when you cut it.
• Wash and rinse your vegetables / mushrooms. If you're using tofu (make sure it's firm), then cut it into cubes.
• Before my dad starts cutting meat (or anything), he usually puts a towel underneath the cutting board so it's more stable. Speaking from decades of experience, this helped him avoid many cuts (but not all) in the kitchen.
• This is much clearer in the video, but here are my dad's steps to preparing fresh squid for hot pot:
• We'll cut our about half of our tilapia fillets into ~1 cm slices, and marinate it with salt, cornstarch, water, and white pepper (to taste).
• My dad's epic homemade fish balls deserve their own recipe page (will be live soon).
• All we need to do is peel our daikon, cut it in half, and then cut it up into about 1 cm slices. We'll start boiling our hot pot broth with daikon, and then eat it at the end after it's soaked up all of the delicious flavors from the other foods.
• For my dad's dipping sauce, we'll be mixing light soy sauce, Shacha sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, chili oil, and boiled water.

RABBIT & MUSHROOM HOTPOT

Steps:

• Turn the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Heat the oil in a deep flameproof and ovenproof casserole dish. Add the rabbit pieces, then fry briefly until browned. Lift from the dish onto a plae, add mushrooms to the dish, then quickly stir-fry. Lift from the dish and take off the heat.
• Layer half the potatoes into the dish then, seasoning with salt and pepper as you layer, top with half the onions, mushrooms and rosemary, then top with the rabbit. Now follow with the rest of the onions, mushrooms, rosemary and a neat layer of potatoes. Pour over the stock and brush potatoes with oil.
• Put back on the heat and bring to the boil, then cover and put in the oven for 1 hour 15 mins. Take off the lid, then return to the oven at 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 for 30 mins more to brown the top. Serve with Savoy cabbage cooked with butter, a dash of water and a sprinkling of caraway seeds.

RABBIT AND EXOTIC MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• For the Rabbit preparation: Let rabbit marinate several hours. In a covered casserole dish, braise rabbit with 1 quart chicken stock in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 hour or until meat is tender and falling off the bone. Strain the liquid into a saucepan. Pick the meat from the rabbit and dice it into 1/2-inch squares. Set aside.
• For the Rabbit Sauce: Combine the above ingredients, except for roux and reduce by half. Thicken with roux. Adjust thickness with reserved strained rabbit braising liquid, if needed. Continue to reduce until mixture is thick and coats a spoon. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Strain and set aside.
• To make roux: Heat butter in a small saucepan and add flour, stirring constantly for a few minutes until thick and creamy, but not brown.
• For the Filling: Combine ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cups rabbit sauce. Mix well. Keep warm until ready to assemble.
• For the Pumpkin Shells: Cut off top of pumpkin so that the seeds are exposed. Scoop out all of the seeds and soft flesh until you have what resembles a small bowl (be careful not to put a hole in the bottom of each pumpkin). In a preheated 350 degree F oven, place pumpkins cut side down on a sheet pan. Bake the pumpkin for 15 minutes or until it is cooked, but not collapsed. Turn them over cut side up to cool. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the Pastry: On a floured surface, cut 4 (2 1/2-inch) rounds from pastry. Set aside.
• To assemble: Place pumpkins on a baking sheet. Fill insides with rabbit-mushroom mixture. Top with pastry lid. Brush with egg. Arrange 1 mushroom on top of each lid.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until perfectly golden brown.
• Serve at once, garnished with wild mushrooms and watercress sprigs around potpie.

MUSHROOM HOT POT

Steps:

• Preheat a 4 quart pot over medium heat. Mix the cornstarch into the broth and set aside (this is easiest if you just mix it into about a cup of broth, then pour the rest of the broth in). Saute onion and pepper in the oil with a big pinch of salt, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, lemongrass, ginger and red pepper flakes and mix inches Cook until fragrant, about a minute, then stream in the broth/cornstarch mixture and add most of the other ingredients: star anise, cinnamon, shiitakes, soy sauce, tomatoes and fresh black pepper. Stir often for the first 10 minutes or so, until the cornstarch has thickened the broth a bit. Now cover pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to simmer and cook covered for a good half hour, until mushrooms are completely softened.
• Add coconut milk and lime, and taste for salt. Heat through and serve with fresh herbs and other accoutrement.
