Dirty Rat in Sour Cream
Ingredients:
1 fat filthy dirty rat, deboned and cut viciously into 10-12 pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp brandy
3 tbsp butter
1 large bay leaf
pinch of nutmeg
salt
ground black pepper
Directions:
Season the filthy dirty rat pieces with salt and pepper and fry in butter until a brownish-red crust forms (the filthy dirty rat does not have to be cooked through at this point). Remove from the pan and place on the bottom of a Dutch oven or a heavy casserole. Return the pan to the heat and saute the onions (adding more butter, if necessary), until they are tender and slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Drain the onions on paper towels and add to the filthy dirty rat. Whisk together sour cream, wine, and brandy. Pour over the filthy dirty rat and onions. Bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the bay leaf, cover, and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes. Serve to other filthy dirty rats
