This
is a very famous German Hearty Meal named "Falscher Hase"
There
are many many stories and clearances about how it got this name, many are so
weird I’d better not mention :/
If
translated it means „the Fake Rabbit"
Stories
tell that in the early days around Easter it was a custom to bake a Rabbit, it
was known as a great feast. Many families who couldn’t afford to buy and bake
that economically, they used to buy low-priced meat and made mince out of it and
bought different vegetable and tuck all in the piece of meat and shaped it like
a rabbit’s back and baked that, and so the dish came to this name as” Fake Rabbit”
The egg variation came quite later
I
just named it the Meat Loaf but originally the idea is from the above given
story : )
It’s
a very tasty dish specially after being baked with eggs it’s such a delight!
600
gr Minced meat (lamb)
1 roll
bun from the previous day (soaked and drained)
2 baby
cornichons( Chopped like relish)
2
small onions (finely chopped)
½ cup
parsley (fine chopped)
1 red
paprika (fine sliced)
2 tbp
lemon juice
25 gr
butter
1 egg
1/8 l
meat broth (around 6 tblsp)
1/8 l cream
( around 6 tblsp)
1 tbs
cream Fraiche
1 tbs
paprika powder
(sweet
bell pepper powder)
1 ½
tsp salt ( or to taste)
½ tsp
black pepper from the mill
½ tsp
cayenne pepper
3 hard
boiled eggs
-soak
roll bun in hot water
-squeeze/drain
-chop
onion finely
-heat
butter and fry onion till transparent
-Chop
paprika, parsley and cornichon and knead all well into the minced meat
-beat
an egg, pour over and knead well, sprinkle the lemon juice too
-lay a
thick layer of minced in a rectangular baking form
-place
the hard boiled eggs in a row
-cover
it up firmly with the rest minced meat and press with wet palms
-bake
the loaf on a preheated oven on 180° for around 30 mins
-make
a sauce of cream Fraiche,broth, and cream
-after
nearly 10-15 mins pour this sauce on the loaf and let bake again
-the
loaf will leave lots of liquid, no worries , as the loaf is done then
bake
with the grill on so this will evaporate the liquid.
-Let
the loaf a time to rest so when cut in slices it won’t break
Enjoy
it with Roll buns, baguettes or then plain Rice as side dish.
Simple
salty boiled potatoes are the perfect combo with it!!!
