Hare Stuffing

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix the beef suet, bread crumbs, parsley, marjoram, winter savory, lemon peel, shallot, nutmeg, pepper, and salt.

  2. Add the white and yolk of the egg to the mixture and combine well.

  3. Ensure the mixture is stiff; if not, it won't work.

  4. Stuff the mixture into the hare and sew it up.
