I feel a bit strange about my dish for this week's
I Heart Cooking Clubs "Mystery Box Madness" challenge. You see, it's a pork dish. Normally a pork dish wouldn't make me feel remotely strange, but this week our featured cook, Diana Henry, released a
book of chicken recipes. She invited me to the launch party, which was the most fun I've had in ages, but it just compounds the weirdness of not making a chicken dish this week...

Dodgy phone pic of the cover - hence cutting her name off |
The book is lovely, my copy arrived yesterday, but I had already made this dish featuring three of the challenge ingredients (bacon, mushrooms and thyme - with a bonus of substituting a leek for the onion). It's Diana's recipe for rabbit with sour cream and dried wild mushrooms, from
Roast Figs Sugar Snow, but I used pork tenderloin. It's not that I am squeamish about bunny - I enjoy it when other people cook it - it's just that I have had very mixed results cooking it myself. I wanted something dependably delicious. And this was. We had it with pappardelle and some greens and it was wonderful.

That pork ragu looks scrumptious! Very nice use of the mystery box ingredients!
Such a delicious plate of pasta! I think I would enjoy it with pork too instead of bunny. And I'm so jealous of you meeting with Diana Henry! How cool is that!! I love chicken recipes and will be getting her latest book soon!
OMG! Looks wonderful! I haven't seen this Diana Henry book! A new one? She does do great things with chicken!
i've never eaten rabbit, though i just read an article stating it's probably the most bang-for-your-buck protein available. i, too, would still stick with pork. :)
Yep, totally jealous! But very happy for you that you got such a cool and fun opportunity. ;-) This looks delicious--great use of the MBM ingredients!
YUM!! Looks great. I have a rabbit in the freezer so I will have to try this with the hare!!
