Steps for Manon Guichard 's hare à la royale

  1. Prepare the hare (a few days before): leave the skin on for a few days to relax the flesh and nerves.
  2. Prepare the hare sauce base (2 days before): crush the hare bones and marinate with the red wine and the chopped aromatic garnish. Place in a sock. Leave to stand for at least 48 h.
  3. Skin the hare (the day before), remove the blood and giblets, bone and remove the skin. Marinate for 24 h, turning several times.
  4. Prepare the stuffing (the day before): mix all ingredients and marinate for 12 h, then chop.
  5. Strain the hare sauce base, brown the carcasses and flambé, then reduce the marinade. Colour the garnish, singe and roast. Moisten with 75 cl poultry base and 25 cl white stock. Cook, covered, in the oven like a civet.
  6. Cooking the hare (the day before): Drain the hare, stuff it, sock it, tie it up and cook it in the base sauce.
  7. Depending on the age and weight of the hare, leave to cook for 10 h immersed at 85°C (gentle simmering). Cool in the cooking juices. Drain and leave to rest for 12 h, rolled tightly in cling film.
  8. Cranberry condiments: sweat shallots until slightly browned, deglaze with vinegar and reduce to ice. Add the oxalys, season with salt and pepper, blend and strain.
  9. To make the sauce: collect the juice from cooking the hare, filter and reduce, add the tannin and combine with the mixed offal and hare's blood.
  10. Garnish: slice and coat the slice of hare served very hot, and arrange the garnishes on the edge of your plate, following the harmony of colors. Season with salt and pepper.
