    "James, could you cook supper for Friday night, there are some things in the fridge waiting"

    lots of bacon offcuts
    1 hare
    1 pheasant

    cooked the bacon off cuts in butter and olive oil

    then jointed the game, dusted in seasoned flour and browned it off in the bacon fat

    softened onions and garlic in the pan, deglazed with some red wine, added the meat back along with prunes, some water, juniper berries and bayleaves

    cooked in a low oven for many hours, and then stripped the meat from the bones

    in the meantime giblets, and some of the excess carcass were turned into stock with a couple of carrots

    was only meant to feed 4 people but got loads of meat from the hare

    for scale purposes that is a huge slotted spoon

    the cooking juices and stock have been amalgamated and being further reduced

    will bag up 3 lots of stew for freezing

    for tonight i shall soften some mushrooms and fresh herbs and add them to the meat

    just debating how much of this

    hare's blood to add to the sauce tonight
