well last night I decided to make pies for dinner(we got a pie maker for christmas) and used Rabbit that hubby and shot. I also attempted to make the pastry which turned out like it should have(first time making pastry) , yay for me. I got the recipe off the cooking channel.
For the Monster I wasn't sure how he would be with the rabbit so i cooked up some individual meat that I had in the freezer for him and added lil bit of the onion, chopped them up a bit more finely and added mixed veg and tomato sauce. I used a cup to make little rounds and filled one side with the mixture and folded them in half and cooked them in the oven for about 10-15 mins or just until they were golden. He loved them so will be doing more and throwing them in the freezer. Hes got a couple left for lunch today.
HOT WATER SHORTCRUST PASTRY
75g butter, cut into cubes
100ml water
225g plain flour
pinch salt
1 egg, beaten
Place butter and water into a saucepan & heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts, then allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil.
Meanwhile, sift the flour & salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the egg.
Pour the hot liquid into the flour & stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Spread the mixture out onto a large plate with a wooden spoon & allow to cool(15 mins), then wrap with clingfilm & place in the fridge for 30 mins until firm.
RABBIT FILLING
with the rabbit I cubed up the meat and chopped up an onion and cooked them and added mixed veg and threw in some soy sauce and mixed herbs. Put the pastry into the pie maker and cooked as per instructions.
