This is a variant based on beer and juniper. In other recipes,
white wine and vinegar are used.
Remove the meat from the rabbit's back and divide it into
cubes. Cut the pork tenderloin into large blocks. Cut the onion
and carrots into coarse brunoise. Mix the 4 types of meat and
vegetables with dried thyme, crushed juniper berries, a few
bay leaves, pepper and salt.
Put everything in a large cast iron casserole. Pour in a bottle
of blond beer of your choice, a big glass of jenever (gin) and
poultry stock. Make sure that all meat is submerged.
Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 100°C for 3 to 3 ½
hours. Check that the meat is cooked enough and mix the
cooking liquid with soaked gelatine sheets.
Cover the preparation in jars and cover with a foil in airtight
manner. Allow to cool to room temperature and then put the
jars in the refrigerator until use.
