Roasted Hare in the Oven

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 pcs Hare
• Butter (generous amount)
• 2 cups Sour cream
• Water (a little)

Instructions

1. If possible, place the hare in a hare roasting pan and roast it in a hot oven, ensuring the bottom heat is not too strong, as the sauce can easily burn.
2. Gradually add 2 cups of thick sour cream.
3. Ample butter, cream, and frequent basting will make the hare juicy.
4. A young hare will be cooked in about an hour; then immediately remove it from the oven and stir the sauce with a little cold water to better combine the cream and butter.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
