INSTRUCTIONS
Cooking Instructions:
• Cut the beaver into small chunks. Heat a large pan and add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the beaver meat and brown on all sides.
• Dice the onion and carrot and add once the meat is a good colour. Chop garlic and add, with the sprig of rosemary, to the meat.
• When the vegetables have cooked down a little add the wine, stock and tomatoes and leave to cook slowly for 2 hours.
Gremolata Instructions:
• Take some lemon peel and remove the pith. Slice the zest into a nice chiffonade. Take your clove and slice it into thin pieces. Chop your parsley and combine it with the lemon zest and garlic. Run your knife through the mixer a couple more times.
Papardelle Noodle Instructions:
• Bring a large pan of well salted water (If it doesn’t taste like the Mediterranean Sea, it needs more salt!) to the boil and add papardelle noodles. Stir gently to separate noodles then boil for 8-10 mins – or until cooked. Drain and add the noodles to the sauce and mix, coating the noodles with the sauce.
Assembly:
• Serve in individual bowls and sprinkle with the gremolata.
