Rabbit Dilemna...

I picked up a great looking rabbit last night on the way back from work. I was worried that the rabbit might leak blood all over the clothes in my bike bag, but I got away with it. Phew.

It was a big one, roughly £10. I got it jointed & kept the liver. You can freeze it all within 2 days and it will last for a couple of months. I'm going to eat mine as soon as I can.

It should feed 6, though I'm cooking for it one as my wife & kids won't eat rabbit. Apparently they are cute. This is one battle I'm happy to lose as it means I get to eat all the leftovers. Nice.

The problem I have is that the first rabbit recipe I ever tried was Jamie Oliver's "Tender-as-you-like rabbit stew" with tarragon dumplings. It's so incredibly tasty that I'm struggling to try any new ways of cooking rabbit. Ok, so not a major life-challenge I know, but those dumplings with that sauce...

Anyway, the one I'm going to try tonight is an EAGLE PUB recipe. It's basically an easy one-pot paella. It has a chorizo kick to it, so it ticks the right boxes. I'll post the results below...

Exciting isn't it?

Ox Middles are the next size up, 5-10cm when filled, they dry down to about 3-4cm diameter. Ox Bung are the big boys, they are for large salamis and haggis. The mail order company, "The Natural Casing Company" has stopped trading. Instead, I discovered mail order can be got from Weschenfelder .  They despatch within 48hours for all your urgent butcher needs! They have stuffing machines too. Another UK mail order company is http://www.sausage-casings.co.uk For USA I found http://www.sausagemaker.com I live not far from Smithfields so I'll try there first. The main recommended casing for salamis are Ox casings.  These are the ones I...
