About

This is an Austrian recipe and I’m not sure where the name comes from, although I suppose it’s some Hapsburg pretension to compare it to Baron of Beef. It is quite delicious and somewhat different.

Ingredients

1 saddle of hare
strips of fat pork for larding
1 teaspoon salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lard the hare with the pork fat and rub it with the salt and the paprika and sprinkle well with flour. Brown the hare on all sides in melted butter. Add ¾ cup of the sour cream, and the stock and vinegar, and add the bay leaf, juniper berries/and thyme.
