What did I cook this weekend.....

[banesong]

Love rabbit. I quarter it and bathe it in milk for a couple of hours. Then bread and fry. After that it goes for an hour into a casserole with plenty of garlic and some basic veg. Some wine. The breading falls off and thickens the whole lot. Very tasty animals those.

Need some conjeo. Miss it.

Put this together last night. Coconut Curry Chicken Soup. Sauteed shallots with some garlic and curry spices, added chicken stock and coconut milk. Meanwhile in another pan I boiled some snow peas and spinach enough to cook them, then cooked some thai noodles. The spinach/noodle/pea mixture then went in with the rest of the soup. After a while some diced chicken breast went in with some sugar and fish sauce. Then reduced until I was happy with the texture. Added some cilantro, lime juice and diced serranos at the end for good measure.

Served over rice. Mighty tasty

Real masterpiece here ehh but i am sharing cause someone gave us these little ceramic dishes last night and they make a delicious little egg when thrown in the oven. They puffed up like 2 inches tall. My plan was to put in smoked pork loin then egg then cheese but bailed and just did egg and cheese

Using some mixes to get some brownies and cookies knocked out for a Christmas Eve gathering at the Inlaws' house. I mixed a milk chocolate and dark chocolate for the brownies (made separately, then layered in pan). Cookies are sugar, oatmeal raisin, and oatmeal chocolate chip.

These were bunnies they raised, and so are quite mild in flavor. Also cute and cuddly. So it is not gamey at all. I wouldn't say it's just like chicken, but it's pretty mild. (I'd have a hard time dispatching one, but since we got them all cleaned up, it wasn't any worse than anything else...)

I made bunny broth with the odd bits of the carcass, so then there will be some good things to add when I cook the other bun bun, either Hasenpfeffer or something with some red wine....yum again.

Do you just cut them once they're cool or do you roll them

Do you just cut them once they're cool or do you roll them

After chilling, I unwrap them, divide in half, then quarters. Roll them a little to make them into even logs and then cut those into pieces to bake. The size can vary for preference. I have been cutting those little logs in half and then divide those into 3 pieces each. The dough could just be dropped by spoonful, if preferred. I just find that I take up less room in the fridge with rolls, rather than mixing bowls.

If you don't want to be a hipster, what is the difference between pork butt and ham?

Ham is cured.

 

[slym2none]

Also, for pork cuts in America, a Boston butt is actually the pork shoulder. Ham is usually made from the rear leg portion.

Does not "butt" equal "ass" ?

Ze butt is a name for the antique barrels that pork Shoulder was put in. They weren't considered high on the hog if you know what i mean and were put in casks. The famous boston butt cut held and was popularized.

In english a ham is an ass and a butt is a shoulder

Not with pork!

Everyone would enjoy it if they like chicken. I think it's the closest thing to chicken I've every had.

We always had it dredged in flour and fried (Same for squirrels), but I've had it in stews and baked at other places and it's just really good (Except when you bite down on some #6 .410 shot...)

 

[Kharnynb]

back in the netherlands, the farmers around our town would give you a box of .22 ammo just to get out and shoot rabbits, we always had a lot of rabbit for dinner.

best is just panfried in lots of butter with some salt and pepper

 

[mattmmille]

Homemade biscuits.

This is the reason we used .22 lr solid bullets. Our beagles loved to run the rabbits.
We usually stewed the rabbits in a thick gravy. The gravy went on buttered bread. Sometimes a rabbit was roasted on a stick for a woods meal.

edit: Snowshoe hare not rabbit.

Yeah, I started with a .410 handed down from my dad. Actually it was my sister's gun IIRC, but she didn't go out in the cold to hunt rabbits, so I used it.

I quickly learned the value of a .22LR instead!

We had a rabbit dog and it was really fun to take her out and let her run rabbits. I miss those days. She was SUPER excited to go hunting and would jump up into the truck and hide under the seat until we got there, then jump out and run rabbits all day. Then she'd hide under the seat until we got home. I never figured out how she managed to squeeze under there, but she did.

This is one of those awesome years where you can go out and find the snowshoes pretty easily. Their white fur stands out really well against the light brown grass...

First time poster in this thread, but I have read a lot of this and taken many ideas and inspiration from here so I thought I would make a post. Last night I made some good old fashioned comfort food for football watching. BBQ chicken thighs on the grill and classic macaroni & cheese:



Today is SWMBO's birthday, and I am cooking some New York strip steaks (first go at sous vide!), au gratin potatoes, steamed brocolli, and a heap of sauteed crimini mushrooms and vidalia onions. After dinner I will serve strawberry cheesecake and then surprise her with tickets to a Minnesota Wild hockey game. Here's to hoping I dont mess up the steaks!!

 

[damlamb]

I had some oysters still left over from the weekend and a friend mentioned a recipe he heard of. I thought Id try it out. "Carpetbagger steak" top sirloin stuffed with oysters and basted in garlic butter... delicious.......
