hare stew

[Guest robbie1]

well the season is finally back in full swing and with the weather getting cooler my thoughts have been drawn to a nice big bowl of a hearty stew!!!!! so when my mate said he had shot a couple of hares i took them off him straight away to make one and here is the recipe and methods that i used.... 1st get all the ingredients you need. i use 1 hare, 4 small onions, 1 swede, 4 decent parsnips, 6 carrots, 10 potatoes, half pint of red wine, 1 bovril cube and salt an pepper for seasoning. here is a pic of them how they come then skin and joint your hare, peel your veg and chop your onions up so they look like this . next step is to heat some oil in your stew pot and then fry your onions till they go brown when they go brown add your joints of hare and season with a pinch of salt and pepper fry untill the joints are going brown and then add the red wine and stock cube and let simmer for 5 mins or untill wine is bubbling away nicely next add a full kettle of hot water and then your swede, parsnips and carrots and more water to cover the veg and then leave to simmer with a tight fitting lid with a steam hole for an hr or untill meat starts to fall off the bones when the meat does this take out the joints and add the potatoes, shread the meat off with two forks and add meat back to the pot leave for 10 mins again while your mix up some dumpling mix, add the dumplings and when they float after 15-20 mins its done all you need to do now is add seasoning to taste and some gravy granules to thicken if you want then butter some nice thick bread, fill a bowl up and enjoy!!!! hope this helps anyone who is making one but not sure how and of course there will be different ways to do it this is just the way ive found best.. yis robbie
