I love reading stuff and giving feedback. We have a writers club at work, and it has been a game-changer for sure. My friend, who is researching the journey of refugees to Australia, has been researching social inclusion/exclusion and the more specific social cohesion. These might be areas of interest to you too!

BTW here'...Thanks for the write-up Danielle :) <br /><br />BTW here's the recipe for the rillettes, if any of your readers are interested. This is actually a French take on what I always heard called "brown jam" which was typically, in my neck of the woods in Arkansas anyway, pulled pork confited in hickory-smoked bacon fat.<br /><br />1 whole wild hare, gutted skinned and chopped, shot removed as much as possible<br />800 g homemade bacon dice (lardons)<br />800 g homemade pulled pork, NOT sauced, just plain<br />2 whole spanish (yellow) onions, finely diced<br />2 tablespoons armagnac (Apple brandy from Normandy, actually came from the still of a friend who lives up there)<br />4 stalks fresh rosemary<br />2 bay leaves<br />20 g cracked black pepper or other pepper<br />A few liters (~quarts) of apple cider, unfiltered and unpasteurized if possible.<br /><br />Start off by cold smoking the rabbit over a mix of apple and hickory wood chips. You can make your own cold smoker by taking an empty tin can, torching the inside so as to remove the (toxic when heated, don't breathe in the smoke!) lining, using a key-type can opener to create a small opening on the bottom that can fit a (new, unused) soldering iron. Put the soldering iron in the opening so the heating element is completely inside the can, fill with wood chips, cover the opening with aluminum foil (and poke some holes in it), then plug in the soldering iron and put it in your weber at the very bottom. Put whatever you want to cold smoke as far away from the soldering iron as possible, because it will generate some heat.<br /><br />That's the hardest part, honestly.<br /><br />While that's smoking, slowly render the lardons in the oven in an oven-safe skillet, then transfer lardons and most of the grease to a crockpot.<br /><br />Add the onion dice to the still-hot skillet and cook until translucent but not browned. Scoop out the onions and whatever fat is left and put that into the crockpot with the bacon.<br /><br />Take half the cider and add it to the pan to deglaze, make sure to scrape up the good bits. Add this liquid to the crock pot, and then add the pulled pork and then cold-smoked (still raw) rabbit. Add enough cider to cover everything by ~1/2"/2cm, and add the armagnac, bay and rosemary.<br /><br />Set the slow cooker to low and walk away for 12 hours or so.<br /><br />Once cooked, separate whatever liquid is left from the meat, and put in the fridge, or outside if it's cold enough and you can keep it away from the cats. Debone and shred the rabbit, using your fingers to try to find any shot that might be left. Try to get all the little bones and whatnot. Add all the meat to a big bowl.<br /><br />Once the liquid has cooled and the fat has collected on the surface, skim off this fat (throw away the liquid, or use it to cook egg noodles) and add it back to the bowl with the meat. Mix well and transfer to an oven-safe terrine.<br /><br />Turn the oven on low, around 200 F/100 C, lower is better. Smoosh everything down as best you can, so that you have an even meatloaf-like solid mass.<br /><br />Put it in the oven and let it slowly render whatever fat might still be in solid form. You want about 1/8" or so layer of liquid fat on top, so that if you push the whole thing down with a spoon, fat collects easily into the spoon. If you don't have enough, add bacon fat (surely you have a jar of collected bacon fat in the fridge for such occasions?) until you get to that point, more or less. Let the top crisp up a bit, but don't let it burn.<br /><br />After maybe two hours or so, take the pan out of the oven, and let it cool. Serve to vegans and tell them it's celery and beetroot pate.<br />Phil in Francehttp://www.twitter.com/phillamb168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896012504326780838.post-75972859131538651292013-11-27T05:49:43.924-05:002013-11-27T05:49:43.924-05:00Looks delicious !
