Geoff can you let me have the recipe for your casserole please, my daughters ex partner (before he was an ex) went ferreting and came back with two rabbits one of which is still in my freezer.
I think they are nicer in a casserole rather than just roasted.
Thanks in advance x
ps hope your doing ok I do check you out when I visit the forum.
Kath darlin’ wash and pat dry rabbit pieces. Toss in 1 Tblsp plain flour. Place rabbit pieces into a frying pan with 1oz beef dripping and fry until pieces start to brown. Scoop out with slotted spoon and place in a slow cooker or casserole dish. Place previously prepared root vegetables (carrot/parsnip/swede/potato(sliced)/onion) into frying pan and fry until they start to brown. Add seasoning (salt, pepper and dried mixed herbs. In 1/2 pt cold water, place 1 Tsp Bisto powder and an oxo cube. Stir vigorously until bisto and oxo thoroughly dissolved. Pour over veg in frying pan. As gravy thickens, scoop out with slotted spoon and place around rabbit pieces in slow cooker/casserole dish and cook.

I often come here for ideas on something different to cook, and trolling through I saw ‘pigs in blankets’ whassat?
Haven’t had rabbit for a few years…must look for some at the butchers in town and I quite like it roasted on a bed of onions and covered in bacon rashers - sweeter than chicken, I think.
Venison is too dry for me unless it’s casseroled, long and slowly.
PING…pigs in blankets, it’s sausages wrapped in bacon? 
doh
I do the same thing, Janela, when I just don’t know what I fancy.
I love pigs in blankets but at the moment I’ve no piggies and no blankets, so they’re out of the question. 
Tonight I’ve had Bombay potatoes in an onion and tomato sauce with prawns, and some savoury golden rice. Enjoyed it too! 
Just have to ask this stupid question; what is the difference between roast & casseroled???
In my mind;
A “roast” is like 1 kg (or more) of meat, that is cooked and then sliced thinly.
A “casserole” is chopped up pieces of meat cooked with vegetables, mushrooms etc…
When I cook venison I first brown all sides in a little butter in a cast iron “casserole”. I then add some chopped onion & carrots, and after a few minutes around 7 dl water. I put the lid on and let it simmer on the lowest temperature until the meat is done.
I can assure you - the meat is never dry - but is this a roast or a casserole in your opinion??
A roast to me is a piece of beef, lamb, chicken or whatever, cooked in the oven first of all in tin-foil, then unwrapped for the last 15 minutes to brown.
A casserole is done in an oven-pot in the oven, a slow-cooker, or on the hob, with vegetables already added. 
Not quite Janela darlin’. Yes you CAN wrap bacon around the sausages first, but the ‘blanket’ is actually batter pudding. Fabulous!!!
Home made cheese and leek potato cakes, fish and sugar peas.
Have had a loaf of bread several days which I haven’t used, started to go stale, so have made yet another tray of bread pudding.
Well this little piggy just had roast beef, and all the trimmings
Where’s mine? Didn’t you save me any? 
You know, I’ve not really eaten today, simply because I just didn’t know what I wanted. I’ve had a baked potato with butter. Then I did some chicken noodle soup later on. I’ve not really been hungry today.
we had the leftovers for supper with banana custard.
Roast beef with banana custard on top? :shock: 
No lol the banana custard was after :facepalm:
we had a nice healthy salad yesterday today we are eating out, no plans where yet, i am looking forward to not slaving over a hot stove.
On a Saturday Paul??? - whats happened to Sunday roast???
As it happens I will be joining you later today - bought a beef joint in the week, placed it in my slow cooker last night (and its still cooking now). Later this morning will peel and chop some potatoes, parsnips and an onion and roast them, will also take some frozen veg from the freezer and place them in my steamer, make gravy from the meat juices of the joint and will be sitting down to Sunday Roast around 13.00.
We had our Sunday roast on Saturday this week as we won’t have time today. We have church from 10 till 12 then this week we are helping with coffee till 1 then it’s my turn to give some of the elderly a lift back home so it will be about 1:45 when we get home to get changed ready to go to a garden party. Not keen on eating a roast dinner in the evening so hence the Saturday roast lol
You’re excused Paul matey, I’ll let you off this time, but don’t let it happen again!!!
Hahaha
