Last of the Golden Country trio, and its a simple soupy side, with a gamey twist..
I didn't see any rabbits at the farm but here's some adorable guinea fowl. They were being very rowdy!
I managed to get some legit rabbit meat. Look at this weird sausage-packaging! And we're keeping it dead simple, with potatoes and I decided it should be cream-based for some reason. This creams a little out of date though... (well not AS out of date as it seems, i made this a several days before its posted) so we are gonna do the sniff test before we start......... yeah it smells fine.
It arrived earlier today so ive only managed to partially defrost it... but we're making a soup so we can just cook it low and slow in some water for a while!
chopping up the potatoes into a nice bite size. I was gonna do 4, but i think maybe 3 is plenty.
In they go! the rabbit is starting to separate. It's a bunch of boneless fillets so thats cool.
Even though im gonna keep it simple and try and use the flavours of rabbit and potato... it'd be a crime to not season it at all. I'm adding celery salt, pepper, thyme, a bay leaf, and a splash of white wine.
Once the rabbit is cooked through I can take it out and chop it up into bite size chunks like the potatoes. Hmm, there's so much meat! it's quite good value... there's so much here that maybe ill just steal a handful to the side for later, and have it with some instant noodles in a later lunch...
The meats back in and simmers for a while... its starting to look all soupy and stuff. Time to add the cream! I'll just dump the whole pot in, cook it a bit longer and serve. I also have some dried onion I can sprinkle on for garnish.
Oop! I don't know what happened but it really thickened up to the max! I'm not sure if it was all the potato, the cream being a bit expired and losing its texture, or me cooking it way too long... It now has the consistency of macaroni cheese sauce... I kind of want to have it with pasta... The rabbit meat tastes a lot like chicken thigh, with just the slightest hint of bacon which makes it a perfect match with cream and potato. The harmonious spices stop it from being bland, but I held back a lot after all so its pretty unadventurous for what you can do with a creamy meat soup.
