- Stir in tomato paste and cook 1-2 minutes. Mix in reserved marinade, stock, mushrooms and potato. Bring to the boil.
- Bake, covered, 2 hours. Cool to room temperature. Skim excess fat from surface.
- Increase oven to very hot, 220°C C. Place four 1½ -cup ramekins on an oven tray.
- Shred rabbit meat, discarding bones, skin and cartilage. Return meat to dish with sauce. Spoon evenly among ramekins.
- Cut pastry sheets to cover ramekins. Brush rims of dishes with egg. Top with pastry and trim edges. Brush top with remaining egg. Cut a small cross in top of each. Bake 12-15 minutes, until puffed and golden.
TOP TIP
Be careful to remove all bones and cartilage as they can be quite small and sharp.
