Rabbit Mince Pie with Mushrooms
This Rabbit Mince Pie melds rustic charm with exquisite flavors, inspired by traditional British fare. The addition of earthy mushrooms and a flaky pastry crust elevates this dish to a gourmet delight.
Ingredients
Filling Ingredients
- 500 grams rabbit mince - freshly minced for the best flavor
- 200 grams Cremini mushrooms - finely chopped
1 medium onion - finely diced
2 cloves garlic - minced- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme - chopped
1 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK)
1 teaspoon salt - to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
Pastry Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry - defrosted if frozen
1 large egg - beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions in a splash of olive oil until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the rabbit mince and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stir well, and pour in the beef stock. Reduce the heat and let simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to line a greased pie dish. Fill with the rabbit mixture, then cover with the second sheet, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the pastry top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Notes
For a lighter twist, use filo pastry instead of puff. Substitute chicken mince if rabbit is unavailable.
