Do you have a recipe, please?

I recently tried chicken chasseur for the first time and really enjoyed it (how has it escaped me for so long? :eek:), and I love a good bit of lapin, too, so I rather fancy trying a combination of the two. I've never made chasseur, though, so I'm not at all sure how to go about it.

Thank you very much!

hhhmmmmm...

For me and OH:

-Monday- Chicken curry (left over chicken from roast, bulked out with brocolli and potatoes) (cost of approx £2 for both not including left over chicken)
-Tuesday- Lamb casserole with carrots, suede and dumplings (cost of approx £4 for both)
-Wednesday- Fishcakes & mash (cost of approx £2 for both)
-Thursday- Tuna pasta (cost of approx £1 for both)
-Friday- Chicken fajitas (approx £4 for both)
-Saturday- out
-Sunday- friends over so roast leg of lamb (from freezer) with usual trimmings (lamb £12!!!! but will feed 6)

Trying to make the freezer full last for a month, with cupboard stock should work :j

Any more exciting recipes welcome, freezer full of allsorts, meat, veg, fish. Get a bit lazy mid week and stick with what I know to be simple. Much use of the SC too

Certainly.
I have a French recipe - last time I made it in the SC, was in a hurry and bunged it all in, then cooked on low, it was fantastic. Note though that here in France you get the liver with the rabbit, I cooked that along with everything else and then blitzed it into the sauce with a stick blender. That gave a lot of flavour and I highly recommend it, if you don't have the rabbit liver, add a few chicken livers.

This is the basic recipe:

1 rabbit, jointed (1.4 kg)
2 tbsp flour
2 shallots
5 tomatoes (in this season I use tinned, or my own canned roast tomatoes)
1 clove garlic
200 ml white wine
250 ml vegetable or chicken stock
1 bouquet garni
250 g mushrooms
parsley, seasoning

Brown the pieces of rabbit in a casserole in a little oil or butter, dust with the flour on all sides, take them out and set aside. Next soften the chopped shallots in the same pot. Add the white wine and stock, scrape well along the bottom. Add the tomatoes (chopped) , the bouquet garni, the crushed garlic clove and the rabbit pieces. Season and simmer over low heat for 35 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms near the end of cooking time. When the rabbit is done, give it another 5 or 10 minutes on high to reduce the sauce.
Serve with the chopped parsley.

Bon appetit!

Thank you very much - that sounds lovely. There's a farmers' market in town tomorrow so I'll pop down and see if the game stall's there to sell me a bunny. It's a fine excuse to buy some chicken livers, too, which I haven't had in ages. Yum!
