Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    For the proposed rough puff, toss cold butter through flour and salt, add cold water until a rough dough forms, then roll to a rectangle and fold in thirds. Chill 20 minutes; repeat rolling and folding twice, chilling between turns. Roll to about 3 mm for the shapes required below.

  2. Step 2

    Season rabbit with salt, pepper and cayenne; stew covered with garlic, pepper, onion, tomato, cloves, allspice and water until tender, 60–90 minutes. Remove large bones and reduce the sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Line a deep pie dish with part of the proposed puff pastry and blind bake at 200 °C about 12 minutes. Add rabbit and sauce, scatter chopped hard-boiled eggs and curry powder.

  4. Step 4

    Cover with remaining pastry, seal, vent and brush with beaten egg. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and filling is hot through.
