Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Geoff can you let me have the recipe for your casserole please, my daughters ex partner (before he was an ex) went ferreting and came back with two rabbits one of which is still in my freezer.

I think they are nicer in a casserole rather than just roasted.

Thanks in advance x
ps hope your doing ok I do check you out when I visit the forum.

Kath darlin' wash and pat dry rabbit pieces. Toss in 1 Tblsp plain flour. Place rabbit pieces into a frying pan with 1oz beef dripping and fry until pieces start to brown. Scoop out with slotted spoon and place in a slow cooker or casserole dish. Place previously prepared root vegetables (carrot/parsnip/swede/potato(sliced)/onion) into frying pan and fry until they start to brown. Add seasoning (salt, pepper and dried mixed herbs. In 1/2 pt cold water, place 1 Tsp Bisto powder and an oxo cube. Stir vigorously until bisto and oxo thoroughly dissolved. Pour over veg in frying pan. As gravy thickens, scoop out with slotted spoon and place around rabbit pieces in slow cooker/casserole dish and cook.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

I often come here for ideas on something different to cook, and trolling through I saw 'pigs in blankets' whassat?
Haven't had rabbit for a few years...must look for some at the butchers in town and I quite like it roasted on a bed of onions and covered in bacon rashers - sweeter than chicken, I think.
Venison is too dry for me unless it's casseroled, long and slowly.

PING........pigs in blankets, it's sausages wrapped in bacon? doh

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

I do the same thing, Janela, when I just don't know what I fancy.

I love pigs in blankets but at the moment I've no piggies and no blankets, so they're out of the question.

Tonight I've had Bombay potatoes in an onion and tomato sauce with prawns, and some savoury golden rice. Enjoyed it too!

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Just have to ask this stupid question; what is the difference between roast & casseroled???

In my mind;
A "roast" is like 1 kg (or more) of meat, that is cooked and then sliced thinly.
A "casserole" is chopped up pieces of meat cooked with vegetables, mushrooms etc..

When I cook venison I first brown all sides in a little butter in a cast iron "casserole". I then add some chopped onion & carrots, and after a few minutes around 7 dl water. I put the lid on and let it simmer on the lowest temperature until the meat is done.

I can assure you - the meat is never dry - but is this a roast or a casserole in your opinion??

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

A roast to me is a piece of beef, lamb, chicken or whatever, cooked in the oven first of all in tin-foil, then unwrapped for the last 15 minutes to brown.

A casserole is done in an oven-pot in the oven, a slow-cooker, or on the hob, with vegetables already added.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Not quite Janela darlin'. Yes you CAN wrap bacon around the sausages first, but the 'blanket' is actually batter pudding. Fabulous!!!!

Home made cheese and leek potato cakes, fish and sugar peas.

Have had a loaf of bread several days which I haven't used, started to go stale, so have made yet another tray of bread pudding.
