Estimated Preparation Time: 12 minutes

Estimated Cooking Time: 3 hr 30 minutes

Servings: 8 bowls of soup

Non-standard Cooking Utensils: A large pan.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of curry powder - that's according to Mrs Beeton! I suggest a more moderate approach initially, maybe a level teaspoon

6 onions

1 garlic clove

28g (1oz) of ground almonds

Juice of half a lemon

1 rabbit - ask your butcher to skin and prepare this

4 slices of lean bacon

2.2l (4 pints) chicken stock

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Method

1. Fry the onions for 8 minutes on a medium heat until golden brown.

2. Place the bacon in a largish frying pan, cut the rabbit into small cubes, add them on top of the bacon and fry on a medium heat until the rabbit starts to lightly brown. this should take about 6 minutes. Turn the rabbit frequently while frying.

3. Add the stock, onions and garlic then simmer until the meat is tender - this should take around 20 minutes. Skim off any fat and froth during this cooking.

4. Put the curry powder in a small bowl, add a teaspoon of water and mix into a paste.

5. Add the curry paste, ground almonds, lemon juice, salt and pepper, mix well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes then serve hot with plain boiled rice.
