Posh Hare Stew Recipe

I recieved an email asking for a Hare recipe so Tony this is for you :)
So in a world when zombies exist it may not be practical to make posh hare stew But there is no reason why you cant cook it at home or outside now, practice makes perfect afterall!

This is a beautifully rich hare stew that will warm and satisfy, and is so tasty those not fond of game will ask for seconds. Many people serve hare with ale but I think that hare can be rather metallic/bitter in taste and prefer a sweet sauce to really bring out the flavours. You can of course substitute the hare for other game you have caught such as rabbit or pheasant.

1 hare serves 2-4 people

Ingredients-

•      Flour- 1tbs     
•     Salt and pepper- to taste

Remove the portions of hare, pick the meat from the bones, place the meat back into the pan and place the bones to one side for a stock or soup tomorrow.
