At the end of the stew, add the hare giblets and pork liver. When the meat becomes completely soft, remove all the bones from it, soften the slices of white bread in the sauce formed from the stew. Cut the meat into pieces. Squeeze out the bread. Pass meat, bread and onions 2-3 times through a meat grinder. Add eggs, salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and the sauce obtained by stewing to the minced meat. Mix everything well. Lubricate the form with lard and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, cut the bacon into strips and put the bottom of the form on it, then fill the form with cooked minced meat and put in the oven. Bake at moderate temperature until fat appears on the surface. Remove the form with the finished pate from the oven, let cool, carefully remove the pate from the form, cut into thin slices and serve cold.

When cooking crayfish, dip them in salted boiling water. Take them out of the broth just before serving, otherwise they will lose their juiciness and be tasteless.

If fresh milk is added to the water in which you boil the fish, the strong smell will disappear and the fish will become tastier.

The dough for the cake does not need to be baked on intense fire. In an overheated oven, the outer part of it will turn out hard, but inside it will remain raw. In order to prevent this from happening, you need to preheat the oven, but do not heat it up, and bake the dough over medium heat. Once you've taken the cake out of the oven, it's best to keep it in the kitchen rather than out in the cold.

To prepare the broth, the meat must be cut into small pieces, and the bones must be crushed.

The slower the soup is cooked and the smaller its volume, the tastier it will be.

Option 1: Classic Rabbit Meat Pate Recipe

At the end of the description are recommendations that noticeably change the taste of the pate. Nevertheless, it is impossible to exclude them, since both options equally claim the right to be considered classics. The collection also includes recipes for making hare pates so that housewives do not need to adapt “rabbit” recipes.

Ingredients:

  • three bay leaves;
  • half a spoonful of fine pepper and twice as much salt;
  • a pack of butter;
  • fresh carcass of a small rabbit.

Rabbit pate recipe step by step

Cut the rabbit meat into large pieces along with the bones, rinse thoroughly and put in a saucepan. Add ground pepper and lavrushka to it, add salt and pour in boiling water, two liters in volume. With a moderate boil and be sure to cover with a lid, cook for an hour and a half.

Put the boiled rabbit meat with a slotted spoon in a spacious dish, let it cool down. Do not pour out the broth. Gently peel the flesh from the bones, helping yourself with a sharp knife. Using an immersion blender, puree, gradually adding the cooled broth.

Most of the butter, softened in the heat of the kitchen, mix with the pate. Melt the rest slowly and season with salt. Divide the pate into small molds, pour oil on top. Garnish with large greens and keep in the refrigerator to set.

For variants containing browned vegetables, the process changes slightly. As a rule, onions and carrots are used, less often mushrooms and tomatoes. Vegetables are washed, cut into medium-sized pieces, sautéed until very softened, and mushrooms, always until cooked. In order for the particles of vegetables to be felt in the pate, they are not ground, but are ground with a manual meat grinder, having installed a large-mesh grate. If you want to "hide" their presence in the appetizer, add the vegetables to the rabbit meat in the second step and chop along with it.

We wash the rabbit meat, cut it finely, be sure to get wet from moisture before that, put it in hot oil. Slowly, cut into large half rings and put the onion to the hare. Peel the carrots and cut into cubes or grate with a very large grater.

As soon as the hare is lightly browned, and the onion becomes golden, put the carrots on them, and after five minutes, pour in the wine. Its amount can be slightly increased if the variety is not fragrant enough. With a very weak boil, loosely covered with a lid, simmer the hare until tender.

Drain the fat from the cracklings, it will be possible to cook another dish on it, put the cooled cracklings themselves to the meat, twist them twice through a meat grinder together with vegetables. Put a little melted butter in the minced meat, add salt and season with spices. Stir the pâté by hand or help yourself with a mixer running at very low speed.
