The cooking forum requests thread!

Jonny69 · 28-10-2011, 14:29

This might be a bit of fun and a bit of a challenge at the same time. This is a thread where you post a request and another forum user cooks it

The rules.

Either:

Post a request. This should either be a request for a dish or a set of ingredients to make a dish with. I guess the more obscure the ingredients, the better the challenge; but keep it realistic!

or:

Pick up the request! Cook the dish or take up the ingredients challenge and make something with them. Make sure you post up your recipe and take some pictures!

Lets see what happens! I'll try and pick up a request over the weekend to get things going

love it!

Don't have anything at the moment but I shall be keeping an eye on this thread.
I usually plan out what I'm going to cook and end up with very peculiar ingredients at the end that I don't think I could make anything with. This could solve all my problems

OK, can I start? I have a rabbit in my freezer and no idea what to do with it. I've also been given some cider to cook it in.

So... please make me something involving rabbit and ciduuuuur

Not a recipe as such but I'd be inclined to joint the rabbit and marinade it in the cider with some additions - probably onion, carrots, bay leaf, thyme, juniper berries (always good with game), peppercorns - and anything else you think may work. Bung it in the fridge overnight.

Dry off the rabbit and brown it in a pan and bung it in a casserole dish with veg of your choice. Pour over the strained marinade liquid and top up with stock if not enough liquid. Bung in the oven for an hour and a half. Remove the rabbit and veg and reduce the cooking liquid and whisk in some Dijon mustard and lots of butter for the sauce.

Ok, pretend the pork is rabbit and this should work...

One portion:
Front and rear legs of a rabbit (keep the loin for something else)
1 small leek
100ml very scrumpy dry cider

100ml chicken stock
Dash of double cream
Plain flour
Salt and pepper

Clean and chop the leek. Roll the rabbit pieces in plain flour and put them in a hot frying pan with olive oil to brown on the outside. Add the leeks to pick up any excess flour and to add a little colour. Transfer the rabbit and leeks to an oven dish. Pour the cider and stock into the pan and reduce by 2/3. Check the seasoning at this point: I added salt, pepper and a teaspoon of sugar because it was a bit sharp. Pour that over the rabbit like so:

Cover with foil and put in the oven at 180 for 30-45 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly in this time and the leeks will go soft. Just before you serve it, stir in a dash of double cream and pile it up onto creamy mashed potato:

Photos need some 'shop to make them prettier, but you get the idea

Can I just request that somebody cooks me a home made meal & brings it round to me.

lostkat · 31-10-2011, 17:54

Am sure I could rustle up something and drop it over

Kitten · 01-11-2011, 21:44

lostkat · 02-11-2011, 06:13
