About the dish

A finer, French-inspired rabbit dish from the chapter on poultry and game in "Stor kokebok" (1914). Erken uses the French name "lapin à la tartare" and serves breaded, marinated fillets with homemade tartar sauce.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Marinate the fillets

    Cut the fillets out of the rabbit and place them in a slightly deep dish. Mix salad oil, vinegar, finely chopped onion, clove, bay leaf, salt and pepper and pour the marinade over. Let the meat sit at least 1 hour and turn it often.

  2. 2

    Bread

    Take out the pieces, dry them well, and dredge them first in beaten egg and then in crushed rusk crumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry

    Fry the fillets nicely brown in lard (or oil/butter) until they are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Mix the tartar sauce

    Stir the chopped pickled cucumbers into the ready-made mayonnaise and pour the sauce into a sauceboat.

  5. 5

    Arrange

    Pile the meat high on a warm dish and garnish with fresh-fried parsley. Serve the tartar sauce separately.

Changes from the original

Measurements are modernized (dl, tbsp). Lard can be replaced with neutral frying oil or butter. "Kavring" corresponds to breadcrumbs/crushed rusks. Egg for breading is estimated at 1–2 pcs, and parsley for garnish is listed in the ingredient list.
