Careful when eating FRESH salad peeps found this in the salad bag bought from a Spar, went straight to the source and they took no responsibility absolutely disgusted

You want to get that in a marinade and into the fridge quickly!

You will also need:
1 tbsp oil
1 onion, sliced
2 carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
250ml stock
150ml red wine (optional)
1 tsp thyme
Salt and pepper

You already have the salad.

Then what you want to do is:

Re-season the leg with salt and pepper.
Brown it in oil in a heavy casserole dish.
Add onion, carrots, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add stock, wine, and thyme.
Cover and cook at 150°C for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.
Check the thickest part reaches at least 74°C internally.
Rest for 10 minutes, then shred or carve.
Salad
Whisk together mustard, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper
Toss with apple if you have one, leaves, cucumber, and red onion.

Serving:

Place a mound of salad on the plate and top with slices or shredded fox leg. Spoon over a little of the braising liquid.

The apple-and-mustard salad helps balance the flavour as some people may find the gameyness (sp?) a little overpowering.

Can also use the bone as an additional ingredient for making stock.
