Our Most famous local delicacy where i come from The Parmo



Making a Parmo involves deep-frying a flattened chicken or pork fillet in an egg and breadcrumb batter, then smothering it in Bechamel sauce before topping off with cheddar cheese (the original Parmos were topped with Parmesan cheese, hence the name) and then grilling or baking in the pizza oven. Originally veal was used but later this was replaced by pork. In more recent times chicken became an option.

That sounds like veal Parmesan.

Stir in the hare blood and add a splash of port to taste, mix well and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Pour the sauce over the hare and serve with redcurrant jelly.

Yeah, most people just don't have enough hare blood in their diet.........

Preheat the oven to 170 °C / 325 °F / Gas 3.

That's way too hot for a meal that's supposed to be slow-cooked. I bring it to a simmer on the hob, then give it 2-3 hours at 120C.

I'll dig out my full recipe.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

1 skinned brown hare, plus its and liver (liver is optional).
2 tablespoons olive oil
100g bacon or salt pork in 2cm chunks
A couple of large carrots
3-4 crushed garlic cloves
1 onion, or a few shallots
30g butter
1 bottle of red wine
100 ml brandy
A bay leaf or two
Some thyme & parsley
2 squares of bitter chocolate, grated (at least 70% cocoa solids)


Hack off the hare's legs, and chop the saddle into 5-6 pieces.
Heat the oil in a big frying pan, and sweat bacon for a few minutes before adding the carrot, garlic, onion. Cook for a few minutes, then bung the lot in a big casserole.
Add the butter to the pan, and brown the hare in it. Then it goes in the casserole along with the wine, brandy and enough water to cover everything. Add the bay, thyme and parsley. Bring it to a simmer, then bung it in the oven at 120C for 2-3 hours.

The sauce-

Take the meat out of the casserole, and keep it aside (and warm). Strain the stock it was in through a sieve, then boil to reduce it by a third.
Take the reduced stock off the heat. Spoon a bit of the stock into the blood to warm it up and stir well. Add the chocolate to the stock, then add the blood a little at a time, stirring well as you go. Don't just slop it in- or it'll go lumpy. If you're using the liver, chop it very finely or puree it, and add it as you go. When it's all blended, simmer it then serve over the meat..

That's just Sloww

Me, I go to Central Market (foodie's version of a grocery) and get confounded by the sheer choices of fresh, well, everything! Especially the cheese wall. So much lovely cheese, so little time

And one of these days I'll be brave enough to try some hare (or duck!)

Sprouts are ace. Enjoying sprouts is the sign of a mature palate.

They have no redeeming features, like overgrown bogies...
