For the past two nights,
Mr. Hawthorne cooked dinner -
always a pleasure for me until
I have to clean up after him.
But he's getting better.
We'd stocked up on rabbit from Harris Teeter.
Mr. Hawthorne always checks the expiration dates
on the rabbits.
And he bought these on the last day.
Instead of paying $5.99/pound,
we got these for $1.50/pound.
And we bought all they had.
Harris Teeter's frozen rabbits are in an open freezer.
We keep ours in a deep freeze,
so we don't have a problem with the expiration date.
Sadly, the meat people would have thrown these out.
Remember not to overcrowd the pan
when you're frying.
It lowers the temperature of the oil
and you'll end up with greasy food.
He made a delicious sauce.
About 1/2 cup creme fraiche
(You could use sour cream.),
a teaspoon or more (to taste) of Dijon mustard,
and a sprinkling of chopped basil leaves.
Just heat up and serve.
It was the perfect accompaniment for the rabbit.
Next up ...
red snapper.
He seasoned with just freshly ground salt and pepper
and sauteed them in a mixture of
extra light olive oil and butter.
The red snapper looks delicious. I could eat fish every day!
ReplyDeleteCan I have him when you're done with him?
ReplyDeleteKathy, we can share.
ReplyDeleteIt's time for you to visit.
B-Day next month, right?
Hey Rosie, how was the Teeter Wabbit? I used to buy it at Holy Foods years ago but only the haunches were really meaty.
ReplyDeleteBTW there's a really nice new Teeter in my hometown that sells fresh frog legs???
Marion, the Teeter Wabbits were wonderful. Very tender. Lots of meat and flavor.
ReplyDeleteNo frog legs for me thank you very much.
I remember when I was 8 or so, I went frog giggin' with my brother.
Down at Daddy's farm.
Frog does NOT taste like chicken.
Neither does alligator.
