Braai'd Rabbit with Coal Roasted Creamy Mash & Veg Skewers
RabbitIngredients:
- 1 butchered & portioned rabbit
- 100g Rosemary chopped
- 100g thyme chopped
- 4 garlic cloves finely diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- salt & pepper to taste
Method:1. In a large bowl, mix together your thyme, rosemary, garlic, smoked paprika, light olive oil, salt & pepper. Taste the marinade & adjust the seasoning to your liking.
2. Rub in the marinade on the rabbit portions & leave to marinate at room temperature whilst you prepare your braai fire.
3. Once the coals are hot without flames, divide your braai into two sections with one half of it with no coals & the other packed with coals. This is great for heat control.
4. Remove your rabbit meat from the marinade with no excessive oil & sear it on the side packed with hot coals for that lovely crispy skin on the outside, colour & to seal-in the juices as well, then move them to the other half to cook slowly over indirect heat.
5. When done, place in a tray & cover with foil to keep from drying out. One has the option of brushing it with our beloved Mrs balls chutney glaze before removing from the heat for that sticky icky wild rabbit experience!!
MashIngredients:
[*]4 large potatoes
[*]125ml cream
[*]50g butter
[*]100g Green Peas
Method:1. Rub your clean potatoes with oil & sprinkle salt & pepper.
2. Wrap each potato in foil & place on the braai slightly indirectly over the coals so as to roast in the foil slowly for just about 45min to an hour whilst turning consistently.
3. When soft to the touch, let them cool off, then peel off the skin.
4. In a bowl, add your butter and mash and mix whilst gently adding cream till it’s a smooth & creamy consistency with a lovely creamy colour.
5. Season to taste & mix in your blanched green peas or add them raw to let them steam through.
Veg skewersIngredients:
[*]1 large Red onion
[*]2 red & yellow peppers
[*]2 courgettes
Method:
1. Cut your onions into quarters, peppers into bite size pieces & courgettes.
2. Slide your onion down the skewer, followed by your courgette, pepper, onion & courgette again.
3. Once you have 5 to six portions, drizzle olive oil & season lightly with salt & pepper & whack that on the braai bru till charred lightly.
Enjoy!
