Directions
FOR THE RABBIT WITH TARRAGON
FOR THE CHIP BUTTY
FOR THE MULLED BEER
1 For the Rabbit with Tarragon Sauce: Loosely wrap the rabbit between two pieces of plastic film and beat with a rolling pin to a 1cm thickness.
Unwrap and spread mustard over the rabbit. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saute pan.
2 Add the leeks and cook for 3-4 minutes. Crush two cloves of garlic and add to the pan with the butter and the rabbit.
3 Stir on a high heat for two minutes to brown the meat. Add the chopped tarragon, beer and cream.
4 Reduce the heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the rabbit is cooked, season.
5 Cook the beans and 1 clove of garlic in a pan of boiling water for four minutes and drain.
6 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saute pan, add the beans, garlic and tomato and saute until the vegetables are heated thorough, season.
7 Fill a deep pan one third full with vegetable oil and heat. When hot, add the chips and two cloves of garlic. Deep fry until golden brown and drain on kitchen paper.
8 Spoon the rabbit onto a plate and serve with the potatoes and beans. For the Chip Butty: Preheat oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7.
9 Blanch the leek in a pan of boiling water for two minutes. Drain, spread on a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil.
10 Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the leeks are golden, tender and starting to crisp at the edges. Cook the chips according to the packet.
11 Place the bread in the oven for three minutes, until just beginning to toast. Rub 1 garlic clove over both sides.
12 Crush two garlic cloves, mix into the mayonnaise and season with black pepper.
13 Place a slice of bread on a plate and cover with parsley leaves. Spoon over 2 tbsp garlic mayonnaise and top with the chips.
14 Spoon over the remaining mayonnaise and cover with the other slice of bread. Serve with the roasted leeks.
15 For the Mulled Beer: Pour the beer into a pan, add the honey and heat.
Add the cinnamon, bay leaf, ginger and orange peel. Heat for 2 minutes, strain and serve in a glass.
