Serve with buttery mash and red cabbage. Gorgeous.
To age a hare you need to give it a good examination. Look at the fur is it grey round the muzzle if yes you've got a pensioner. Look at the teeth, and the paws, young hares will have soft fluffy feet and not much visible claw, old ones will have hard claws sticking out. Finally rip the ear, if it tears easily its a sure sign its young. Ageing hares is vital, as it depends how you cook them. Young meat can be cooked anyway you want once jointed, just remember it has a very strong flavour. I would recommend jugged hare if you are a hare virgin. |
