Barbequed Rabbit With Fennel And Mustard

This is a great way to use the rabbit fillets which come in the Coney and Doos box from Blackface. These are wild rabbits which have less fat and are full of flavour.

Serves 2.

Ingredients

 Barbequed Rabbit With Fennel And Mustard

4 Rabbit fillets

For the marinade:
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp chopped fennel herb
1 tsp of crushed fennel seeds
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil

Method

1. Mix together all the marinade ingredients. Coat the fillets in the mixture, cover and leave for at least an hour.
2. Thread the fillets lengthways onto skewers and season well.

...cooking term
Venison is very good for your health. High in protein, like beef, but much lower in fat. It is also full of vitamin B, iron, phosphorous, zinc and selenium. (If you know what all those are).

Cooking wise, you can treat it like beef, the less exercised muscles can be cooked quickly and served pink. The shoulder suits a slow, gentle braise. The younger the deer, the more tender the meat will be. However, don't disregard an older beast, for once marinated and cooked slowly, it will taste delicious.

The gamey flavour goes well with sweet flavours, such as the sherry in the Pedro Ximinez recipe, otherwise, redcurrant jelly or port are excellent, as are rosemary and juniper, sweet carrots or squash.

In Britain we have several types of deer, the most common being Red deer, Fallow and Roe, but you can also find Sika and Muntjac. They are all very different and very delicious.
