exploring new mammals

[rootofnewt]

So, today we made hasenpfeffer. I found lots of recipes, but this one looked tasty. We replaced the pork with turkey, for allergy reasons, and added extra fat (palm shortening). We also used leeks instead of onions/shallots because--hey! we had leeks.

I wasn't thinking and did dredge the meat in (sweet rice) flour. No point in dredging meat--just sear it. *sigh* I made my beurre manié with mochiko.

It turned out really well, but rabbit is rather labor intensive. I think I'll use chicken thighs next time. I might make the beurre manié with potato flour, too, as it thickens more quickly.

But damn . . . this is nice and rich. It would be insanely delicious with venison and too-rich-for-my-palate with beef.

So, here's to our wovewy wabbit fwicasée!

Where does one get juniper berries this time of year? ;-)

Whole Foods or the local co-op, though xiane often has a stash. I used to hit her up for them when I wanted some.

In other words, they're part of my spice/herb cabinet.
