rabbit pie

[cjw 1]

hi all

this is how i do my rabbit pie & its delish.

 

put jointed rabbit in a large pan cover with water, bring to boil then turn down as low as possible & simmer for at least 2 hours,

when cooked take meat off bone & cut into bit size pieces.

then 2 carrots,1med onion,1 cup peas, & cook. drain off.

mix with meat & then put 1 can of mushroom soup in or chicken ( condensed ) .

make your pastry fill with mixture & cook @ 170 untill golden brown

then fill your boots.

 

enjoy.

sounds good mate,made a game pie the other week but the stock was still a bit runny,was thinking about using baxters game soup to thicken it up.

you have a couple of options to thicken your gravy sauces etc

 

1) use corn flour you can buy it in any supermarket and it has instructions that are full proof

 

2) bisto..chicken or beef flavour....thickens and adds a wee bit o flavour

 

3) my own preference......take teaspoon o butter on a chopping board and a little flour mash together with a fork till you get a goo.....then add to your dish and stir and it will thicken up.

This is a couple of ways to thicken your pies.

1. When you brown your meat, roll the meat in seasoned flour, it dries it and then later HELPS to thicken your gravy.

2. Another way is to stick in floury potato chunks, such as maris piper, king Edwards, Rooster etc. These will disintigrate during cooking and help to thicken the sauce.

 

Maybe try a combination of both.

 

The other thing to consider is using a pie funnel, which will allow the steam to escape, and the sauce to reduce naturally.
