Rabbit is about a lean of meat as you get.
- I brine mine whole for a day in salt water to take out some gaminess. Pat dry and butcher (I keep the legs and backstraps and discard the rest) - Coat with salt/pepper and dredge lightly in flour - Pan fry in light canola for 2-3 minutes per side until just browned - Transfer to baking dish along with some chicken stock, chopped carrots, celery,pepper, a few bay leaves, and some thyme. - Bake covered for 30-35 minutes at 350. or You could always throw it in a gumbo

How about a Fricassee?
-cut rabbit into quarters and mid section, cut out rib sections. - dust with flour and brown in oil (just covering bottom) in black-iron skillet. - remove browned rabbit, add flour and make a brown roux with remaining oil. - add onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. cook until wilted. - add water or stock, seasoning, and mushrooms if desired. - add rabbit (less the rib sections –– as they will fall appart). eat ribs as appetizer. - simmer for at least 1 to 1.5 hours. - serve over rice or boiled potatoes |
We eat a bunch of rabbits every year. Lately, I have been roasting them in my cast iron roaster. Brown in the roaster (whole, or if you have several cut them up), then put 1 pint Guiness and some onions in the roaster, put in oven at 275 for awhile.....check for moisture, add Guiness as necesary. When fork tender they are done.....maybe 90 minutes. |

3# Rabbit meat
10 slices bacon 2 shallots 2 cloves garlic 1C red wine 1/2C zucchini wine (Rather doubt anyone here besides me has this, so any dry white will work ) 1 1/2C water 8oz sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms Flour Salt (to taste) Coarse Ground black pepper (to taste) Rosemary (to taste) McCormick Poultry Seasoning (to taste) Fry up the bacon, saving grease. Crumble into crockpot. Cut rabbit into bitesize pieces, coat with flour, salt and pepper. Brown the rabbit in the saved bacon grease, and add to crockpot. Chop shallots, add to crockpot Crush garlic with side of knife, then mince, add to crockpot Add water, both wines, mushrooms, and rest of seasonings to crockpot Simmer all day Serve over rice, or with bread, etc. Serve red wine to match the cooking wine with the meal. Works with chicken too, though doesn't taste as good |
