Saddle

Hare saddle is the double-loin roast still on the bone—a classic game showpiece for quick roasting when tender. Darker, stronger and gamier than rabbit, with blood-rich traditional sauces. Protect with fat, roast hot, rest, carve into neat portions. Older animals may prefer jointing and braising instead.
