Modern Redaction


Ingredients:

2 rabbits, jointed
1l gode broth (made without breadcrumbs)
2 onions, finely minced
2 tbsp lard or oil
75g breadcrumbs
blood from the rabbits
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp powder fort

Method:

Cut the rabbits into serving-sized pieces and place in a flame-proof casserole. Pour over the broth, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 90 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

In the meantime, heat the lard or oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and fry for about 8 minutes, or until soft and golden brown. Strain the broth from the rabbits over the onions and bring to a simmer.

In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, blood and vinegar to make a thickening. Whisk this into the broth and onion mix. Cook gently (do not boil) until thickened then season with the powder fort.

Arrange the rabbit pieces in a serving dish, pour over the thickened sauce and serve.
