We made this one to celebrate British Pie Week and have included some flavours that conjure up the British countryside, wild rabbit, of course, apples and cider. For an old-fashioned feel, the sauce is perked up with mace and mustard.
\nThe pastry is very short. The ratio of fat to flour is quite high, but it makes the pastry so melt-in-the-mouth gorgeous.<\/p>\n
Please do try to use wild rabbit as it is sure to have had a better life before being killed, plus a diet of wild grass and herbs can only improve the taste.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_2,1_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”-21px||||false|false” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Ingredients Heading” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”18px” header_3_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”20px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The less you add, the better as this results in a light crumbly pastry.<\/p>\n Stir in with a knife until the pastry just starts to stick together. Form into a ball.<\/p>\n This process can also be made in a food processor, just whiz together the flour, salt and fat until combined an while the machine is still running add the water a tiny bit at a time until a ball magically appears.<\/p>\n Wrap the ball of pastry in some cling film and put in the fridge.<\/p>\n Now make the filling.<\/em> Cut the rabbit into 2.5cm pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle over the flour. Stir and shake the bowl to evenly coat the meat with the flour.<\/p>\n Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan and put in the rabbit pieces. Fry gently until they take on light golden colour. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer to a lidded casserole pot.<\/p>\n Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary and add the onions, carrot and celery. Fry gently until they soften but do not let them burn. Return the pan to the heat and pour in the cider and bring to a simmer, scraping ap all the bits on the bottom and sides of the pan and stir well. Put the lid on the casserole pot and place in the oven for 1 hour.<\/p>\n Remove from the oven and retrieve any thyme stalks and discard. Add the apples, mushrooms and creme fraiche and stir well to combine. When the filling is cold, preheat the oven to Gas 6 \/ 200C \/ 400F. Moisten the edges of the dish and place the pastry on top. Press the edges down lightly on to the rim and trim. Cook in the centre of the oven for 30-40 minutes.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Food-Seasonality-Icons.jpg” alt=”Food Seasonality Icon” url=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/foods-in-season\/” show_bottom_space=”off” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Food Seasonality Image” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”7px||||false|false” use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Foods in Season text” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” header_3_font=”Arvo|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#853d01″ header_3_font_size=”17px” background_color=”rgba(112,191,227,0.27)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”13px|13px|9px|13px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/foods-in-season\/” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n See which foods are in season and at their best using our\u00a0guide >>><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”More Recipes” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ background_color=”#6dbfe6″ custom_margin=”-24px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px|” transparent_background=”off” padding_mobile=”on” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_module=”5610″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”-10px||-10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Section” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|0|50px|0″ custom_padding_phone=”” transparent_background=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_module=”5162″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_portfolio include_categories=”all” show_date=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” title_text_color=”#853d01″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_portfolio][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_color=”#863e1d” custom_padding=”0px||20px|” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px|” transparent_background=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_module=”25399″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||5px|” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For the latest producer info, shows, markets, recipes, competitions and more each month.

Method<\/h3>\n
\nSift the flour and salt into a bowl and cut in the fat and rub in lightly with your fingertips until the mixture resemble coarse breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n
\nPreheat the oven to Gas4 \/ 180C \/ 350F.<\/p>\n
\nWhen they have softened transfer them to the casserole with the rabbit.<\/p>\n
\nTip the cider into the casserole. Add a sprig of thyme, the mustard, mace and some salt and pepper. Mix well to combine everything.<\/p>\n
\nTransfer to a pie dish and allow to cool.<\/p>\n
\nKnead the pastry slightly, and roll our fairly thickly, so it\u2019s big enough to cover the pie.<\/p>\n
\nRoll out the trimmings to make a decoration for the top.
\nBrush with the egg or milk to give a lovely golden glaze.<\/p>\nFoods in Season<\/h3>\n
