I tried my hand at Mrs. Beeton's Curried Rabbit, expecting a dull, stodgy affair, but I found myself delightfully surprised. The key moment was when the curry powder and flour slurry hit the pan — the kitchen filled with an aromatic cloud that was both familiar and exotic. It transported me straight to a Victorian kitchen, yet the scent was entirely modern. I used a mild curry powder, as I suspect Mrs. Beeton might have, and it lent a gentle heat that complemented the rabbit beautifully. This dish would be a hit with the weeknight cook looking to spice up their routine. The technique is simple, and the ingredients are easily sourced. The rice served around the rabbit is not just a side, but a base that soaks up the rich, curried sauce. I served it with a simple green salad, and it was a meal that felt both comforting and adventurous. Don't skip the lemon juice — it brightens the dish and cuts through the richness. Next time, I'll try adding some shredded coconut and diced apple, as Mrs. Beeton suggested. It's a tip from the past that I'm eager to try in the present.
