Stix I just stopped eating it, no will power just wont power :lol:
it was hard at first because it is easy and as you say nothing beats wiping up the slop that's left by cleaning the plate off with some real nice bread
I just had to have other things available eg.. boiled eggs, sliced meat, cooked meat, tinned fish and baked beans
its not for everyone but it has worked for me :drinks: and I do not feel like I'm walking around with a brick in my gut anymore :unknown:

Well ive had a sachet of that tandaco coating mix that a couple of you fellow bunny eaters have recomended, on the shelf for over a year...

Never got around to trying it until last night...

Bunny was a young & tender but full grown buck that was aged for 7 nights in the fridge, then soaked in buttermilk for 24hrs...
Then rinsed off, drained & coated in the mix & left in fridge to set.

Pulled out the fridge for couple hours then dropped in the wok in hot cheap canola oil... (from Aldi...lol)
This is half the bunny.

No kidding,, it was incredibly juicy & tender, & the peppery flavour of the mix went well with the sweet young bunny flavour... :clap:
Even the normally dry saddle was like a young tender juicy chicken breast except it had flavour...!!!

Had to have a nibble of the front leg & very nearly didnt get to take any pics...
Gonna have to see if can buy this coating mix in bulk...!!

I rekon you bunny shooters a're mad to not try this once or twice--beats flavourless chicken hands down...!!!

Thanks Tas...those bunnies really were fantastic-ive eaten them my entire life & cant believe how tender & juicy they are that way

& as it so happens i had that same dish again tonight but with a slight change to the coating as an experiment--its such a good way to cook em.

And whats with those deer...?
Thought you're working... (or should i speak quietly...) 8-)

My first deer still eludes me...

Shame you're over there, id love to have a crack at them skins...!

Put up some pics of what you do with them...actually, just the cooking pics... :D

I'm working...hard....at working...lol

Had a slow cooked leg last night - was amazingly tender - I reckon the carcass of these ended up weighing 20's with all bones in to give some idea...they were pretty small.

I tell you what Id like to try with bunnies - get a bag of salt and vinegar chips, crush the chips and use that instead of bread crumbs...bit of tang, bit of bite and a whole lot of juicy bunny. :friends:

So...needing to off-load some freezer stock for the coming (hopefully rewarding) spring bunny season...
I decided to knock ip a few pizzas & see how the meat from a roasted spring-legged bush chicken would fare...

Well im VERY pleased to say it was fantastic...!!
Just as good as any chicken pizza.

Just wrapped a young bunny in foil & sprinkled some fresh fine chopped garlic & rosemary & olive oil & baked it...
Then let it cool enough to pull meat off the bone & partially shred it...it was beautiful on its own & nearly didnt make the pizza... :lol:

I simmered some tomato passata with a small dollop of basil pesto & a good amount of fine chopped rosemary in it (i love fresh rosemary off the bush), until it was reduced & thickened to a sauce, & used that on most of the bases.
On one base i did bbq sauce...
2019-10-16 19.56.39.jpg
2019-10-16 19.56.39.jpg (448.67 KiB) Viewed 5908 times

I did quite a few varieties with various ingredients, & from there i randomly 'halved' all the toppings, so i dont have a definitive favourite mix of toppings.

I even did dome roasted sweet spud & a few thin sliced spuds...
Also capsicum & mushies, both raw & rosted & a lot of standard stuff too...

But i csn say the 2 best were...
...a savory type one that had tomato suace base with sauté smushies & roast capsicum with bacon & anchovies with fine chopped fresh garlic & rosemary sprinkle...

And also a sweeter version, with a little less tomato base, capsicum mushies bacon & a light drizzle of bbq sauce...

As for the rabbit--well with all those flavours i couldnt really taste it...but the meat was nice all the same & well worthy of pizza... :thumbsup:

By far the biggest letdown was this crap i bought that the supermarket wrongfully sold to me as "cheese"...
It turned out to be some kind of stretchy slightly rubberised yellow substance that looked like cheese...ill never buy it again...but sadly there must be lots out there who do, because they obviously have a market for it... :unknown:

Anyway...
The beauty of being a bachelor is i can just make a little room on the coffee table & eat them when i feel like taking a break from the dreaded task of case prep... :lol: :clap:

Righto...
So, i like my lightly crumbed home done schnitty's...although crumbing them is rite PITA--im guaranteed to make a mess...

So with my new found kind of meat...
AKA...

So thought id try some mini schnitty's...
Thinly sliced a small section of backstrap & hammered it out with a tenderiser--not to tenderise it, but to make them even thinner & bigger area...
2019-12-28 21.31.21.jpg
2019-12-28 21.31.21.jpg (479.74 KiB) Viewed 5846 times


Very lightly crumbed em...for that i finely chopped the leaves of 10 inches or so of rosemary fresh off the bush, & toss that through panko crumbs as i rekon theyre a bit lighter...

Im not a fan of a schnitty being coated in a thick wall of glutinous clag, so i really wisk an egg in about the same volume of some milk that basically gives me a "sticky milk"...i find this gives me a nice thin coating of the crumbs...
That way i get the sweetness of a crispy crumb & can taste the meat a little, all without a clag brick sitting in my guts... :)

The crumbs here look thicker than they really are cos i tipped the rest of the crumbs over them to wash the dish...
2019-12-29 11.16.16.jpg

Bit of a boring salad to go with it...but a nice spring onion from the garden perked up the spud salad i made...
It was pretty warm so washed it down with a big icy glass of soda water that i crushed a kaffir lime leaf in & added a squirt of dry ginger for a bit of sweet refreshment...
2019-12-28 21.33.54.jpg
2019-12-28 21.33.54.jpg (406.51 KiB) Viewed 5846 times

The meat cooks in seconds, so to get some colour on the crumbs, i put them in a super hot pan with oil...
The schnitty's look a lot darker than they actually are/were...

All in all it was fantastic...
I celebrated by adding a nip of Scotch to the next drink... :clap:

So i rekon baby bambi snitty's with salad are the ducks nuts for a hot summer feed... :thumbsup:

I love it when an experiment with food works out a treat... :clap:

Venison with a Balsamic Jus on mashed potatoes and greens, washed done with a N.Z. cold weather Merlot. I cooked this on the stove but better on a hot BBQ grill. Steaks only cooked for 2 minutes per side....

Post by RoginaJack » 29 Dec 2019, 4:56 pm

Yep off the legs.

All I did was -
1 Season the steaks with salt and pepper
2 Heat a iron frying pan over med/high heat
3 place 1 tsp of butter on each steak, place in pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes each side. Steaks should be rare.
4 Remove from the pan onto tin plate, cover with foil and rest.

Make up JUS -
1.chop 1 shallot/spring onion very fine dice
2. 1 heaped tsp of redcurrant or plum jam or jelly
3. Chop 1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves very fine + sprig for garnish.
4. 3/4 cup red wine - Merlot
5. 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar.

Method -
*Add 1 - 11/2 tbsp butter to pan (leaves juices in from steaks) and sizzle the shallots until softened, about 5 minutes.
* Add jam/jelly and stir for a few seconds - until melted and starting to caramelise.
* Add Rosemary, wine and vinegar and stir to lift pan brownings and boil until reduced a bit, about 1-2 minutes. Add salt and pepper if needed.
To Serve. - All I did was slice the Venison across grain, and pile on top of mashed potatoes (or Pumpkin) and pour over Jus and garnish.

I just used the greens that was in the fridge to serve with.
Hope you enjoy.

I've done the steaks on the BBQ grille and it puts a nice crust on them - the Boss reckons that tastes better...

Im gonna give that a crack RJ...thanks for posting that recipe up... :thumbsup: :) :drinks:

Trouble is im not much a wine drinker...so ill have to crack a bottle one night and enjoy it...


I was boning out some young Fallow doe last night, so i decided to knock a few slices off of the topside, oil & season em up, let em come up to room temp then drop them in a smoking hot pan...

These have been aging in the fridge for 10 or so days, & still juicy as--check out the juices as the meat is resting...they were only on the plate for a minute here...

I was in a hurry so made a quick sauce/jus the cheats way...
Just a bit of water to lift all the pan bits & flavour, then after thats boiled for a minute, i throw in a dollop of a supermarket 'red wine & garlic' marinade...

Anyway...served it with my boring normal smash peas n carrots...
Over cooked them a little--couldve done with a minute or so less...
But still...it really was fantastic meat...beautifully tender & juicy...!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed them--its the first time ive had as steak & it definately wont be the last...
Ill be slicing a few steaks for the freezer out of the other leg...!!!

I cant wait to do your jus RJ...ive got some plumb sauce & red current jelly, so keen to try both...

Here's to head shot organic free range drug/hormone free meat...yay... :clap:

Thanks guys...it really a treat to eat...!!

st this stage im going back to same place this weekend, so hopefully i see another...

Id happily give you some if closer jimtom... :)

That sounds good Bill... :)

I usually go a bit of rosemary because i like the flavour, but this meat had almost no odour so i just gave it a sprinkling of cracked salt n pepper.

I was wondering about some heat in the form of chilli, but think ill get some of that pepper of yours... :thumbsup:

I do like flavour of sesame, do you know what proportions of peanut & sesame oil you use...?... :unknown:
Sesame is yummo but can be too much very quickly...

300 YARD BUNNY BURGERS...

Standing over this bunny, according to my rangefinder its 301 yds to the car in the backround where i launched the missile from...
& that red splotch in the forground it whats left of a 20 cal 32 grain Varmageddon... :clap:
I was playing for a head shot so was pretty stoked...!!...Yay to me...!!..i did a little dance when i saw it fell over in the scope.. :lol: .... :clap: :D

This is as it fell...it was raining/drizzle so i left the rifle in the car...
2020-04-19 23.23.06.jpg
2020-04-19 23.23.06.jpg (468.22 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


This is a story about what happened to the bunny...

So upon my return from my last bunny jaunt, i had a fridge/freezer circumb to the Corona Virus, & as such had an evening spent juggling eskies & repacking working freezer to maximise space.
It also meant there was no room for some recently sniped hoppy creatures, so i went about preparing a few different dishes to minimise the bordum of eating bunny for more days than not in a week...
Not great considering i had 8-10 bunnies to freeze... :roll:

So i decided as well as the usual go-to Southern Fried Bunny, id knock up some mince patties again.
Ive done it before & was surprised how good they are (i thought they'd be a one-off ordinary to not-so-nice dish)

Anyway...i saw that pommy butcher on Utube with his spring loaded patty press & decided ill have to come up with something shape the patties...

I didnt feel like cutting & sanding a slice of stormwater pipe, so i dug an old round take-away rice/soup container & went to work on it with a knife & scissors.

Here's the container...

2020-04-19 21.46.11.jpg (38.7 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


So that sorted, i boned out the bunnies while a little 150gm block of pork fat thawed out...
Then i diced it all up ready for the mashing...
I added the kidneys in there...no point wasting those tasty little globs of goodness...!!

2020-04-19 21.47.24.jpg
Ready for the shredder.
2020-04-19 21.47.24.jpg (122.61 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


i pulled out the old hand crank mincer as only had about 1.5kg to do & cant hear the music with the ALDI grinder sounding like its mincing through a whole cow...
Clamped it to the table & got one arm cranking while the other fed handfulls into the hopper...

2020-04-19 21.48.02.jpg
2020-04-19 21.48.02.jpg (110.57 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


As can see in the pic...hours earlier id already diced a red onion & gave that some low heat in a pan with some oil & cooled it in the fridge...

Also went out to the garden & snapped off a couple of feet of rosemary stalks & finely chopped the leaves...

All these along with some breadcrumbs, a heap of fresh cracked black peppee & cracked sea salt were tossed in & skwished about until evenly mixed.

Then came patty moulding & shaping...
Well the spoon that came with my rice cooker god knows how long ago finally got its first use--i knew i kept it for something... :thumbsup:

I really pushed the meat in there--i didnt want half-arsed fall apart empty let-downs--i wanted some patties...
2020-04-19 21.48.46.jpg
2020-04-19 21.48.46.jpg (95.06 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


As anticipated i had some issues with the mince sticking to the container & so used a small layer of breadcrumbs to combat that.

2020-04-19 21.49.13.jpg
2020-04-19 21.49.13.jpg (100 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


So a sprinkle of crumbs over them, then into the fridge so they kind of set on the patties...

Then out on bench for a bit while prepped the vegies, & into the pan...
I was getting all excited at this point cos they looked great...!!!

2020-04-19 21.49.59.jpg

They are a little on the cooked side of perfect but look a lot darker in the pic for some reason...the phone camera & flash i guess... :unknown:

Anyway...by the time i got to eating, id already lost a good deal of one patty while serving up.. :lol: i was starvin by then...&.they were great...!!
(Excuse my cracked black pepper addiction...i get it from Grandma--she was worse than me, but im getting there... :lol: )

Heres another pic part way through dinner...i took it to try & show how they havent really lost any volume like what happens with the mince thats grown on those foam trays in the supermarket, or even worse, the pre-made ones that halve in volume.
This is all nice sweet chunky bunny meat...i say chunky because i only ground it once, but it was still fine... :thumbsup:

2020-04-19 21.50.56.jpg

Here is a pic of the end...
The reason the plate is a mess is because i was a good boy & didnt have bread to mop up...
And the pea...well that fell on the floor & the patties were so dam good, that rescuing a solitary pea wasnt something i was prepared to waste time on...!!..& for health & safety reasons, you never eat anything thats been on the floor of a bachelor's lounge floor for more than 10 mins...!!!... :lol:

2020-04-19 21.51.16.jpg
2020-04-19 21.51.16.jpg (88.44 KiB) Viewed 5460 times


Well in summary...they were great...somple ingredients, relatively quick & easy to do, especially if you just bone out the saddles & back legs where the bulk of meat is.

Rosemary is a must i rekon...!!...i tried a bit of cooked mince on its own & it wasnt great...but the rosemary really sets it off & compliments the sweet bunny flavour.

I also tried some with some with sweet paprika & cayenne pepper sprinkled in the mince mix & didnt use enough to make a great difference.

The just over 2kg of bone in bunny, i got a good 1.5-ish kg of boned meat, 150 grams of pork fat ended up making atleast 12 good sized patties that when well cooked were a solid 3.5" in diameter & at least a full inch thick...!!
I had three, but 2 of these patties would prob do the average to large eater for a meal...

Give it a go & share your recipe... :) :clap:

Haha...!!

Yummo marksman...!!!

I love my baked beans...just bloody good stuff...!!
Im sick of these younger yuppies rubbishing them as peasant food because they think their smoked floogal ham & buckwheat jus washed down with a shards makes them more noble... :lol:

Anyway...i just had the leftover patty for lunch...
Sliced in two & strategically placed in broken peices on toast, with remaining mash & carrots plonked on top, topped with the last of my best mushroom sauce drizzled over...

Ok it's awake and moving and looking at me like I've got 4 heads.
Here goes

One well hung Hare
salt and pepper, to season
2 tbs olive oil
2 onion, diced
50g butter
2 cup (500ml) liquid beef stock
2 tbs dijon mustard
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
4 tbs tomato paste
500 g mushrooms, whole (or more depending size of your cooker and Hare)
1 cup sour cream



1). One clean Hare delivered to kitchen

2). Cut the hare into about 6 pieces. It isn’t very different from cutting up a chicken. SEASON well

3). Heat 1 tbs of the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add one or two pieces to pan, sear for 30 seconds each side. Don't let it stew you bastards. Transfer seared pieces to slow cooker and sear the rest with the remaining olive oil

4).Add the butter to the frying pan and allow to melt. Cook the onion for 2-3 minutes (al dente). Add to the slow cooker. 

5). In a bowl, mix together the beef stock liquid, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sweet paprika, dried thyme and tomato paste. Pour into the slow cooker and stir. 

6). Cook for 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high. 

7). At Half time add the mushrooms. 

8).With 30 minutes remaining, stir through the sour cream 

Serve Fettuccine with extra little dollop of sour cream, flat leaf parsley, cracked pepper and a glass of Shiraz

So...

First night of the year to fire up the combustion heater....good thing i cranked it for couple of hours before dinner to let the burnt dust smell escape the room before dinner.

Speaking of dinner...i thought what a better way to go than a couple of Scotch n dry's to help warm the room, & a good feed of winter hunted Hare pie with a plate full of sweet spud smash & vegies...!!!... :clap:
