Supposed to pick up our first two rabbits after work and we still have to wait til August to breed them, but anyone got some good recipes for rabbit?
Wascaly Wabbits? Ask Elmer Fudd. Not sure...never had rabbit but it sounds good as long as it's not gamey.
Tastes like chicken (seriously).Infact until I was in late teens I didn't like chicken at all,only liked those coarse crumbs that fell off after it was fried......Mom fixed me some fried rabbit at a family dinner that my Uncle brought one time - it was amazing."The way you went after that,next time we have chicken I guarantee you'll love it too...." And ever since they were right.I eat chicken probably 4-5 meals per week in some form - roast chicken by itself,,chicken sausages are awesome too,as a sandwich,in pasta,risotto,in a soup or stew,as taco/burrito filling,in a stir fry w/ veggies,baked in casserole & still among my favs are in the smoker or deep fried. Actually like chicken better than turkey,I certainly eat a great deal more of it during the course of a year.Good beef is so expensive now,always loved pork & chicken/seafood helps fill the gap where more beef used to be....
I have had it, I do like it. Just looking for some nice ways to prepare it, in a way different from other meats I typically have. Something to set it apart.
Search youtube for wine reduction or cooking rabbit, and you'll find someone doing what you would like.
most of my rabbit recipes are for wild game and require sautéing and rice/canned mushroom additions very similar to the squirrel recipes I have - I'll dig through my cards later If you are contemplating skins/furs read or watch youtube on how to do it, freeze a bunch and then cure them.
Try this one - pretty tasty with wild rabbit, should work equally as well for domestic: Ingredients: 2 – 3 Rabbits cut and cubed for stew meat 2 boxes Lipton Garlic and Chive potato seasoning packs 4 – 5 large potatoes cut and cubed 1 cup sliced carrots 1 lg. white onion, sliced and diced 1 jar Heinz Heat and Eat Brown gravy Soak the rabbit pieces in saltwater overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown the rabbit pieces in a skillet with a small amount of oil. Use one package of Lipton potato seasoning to coat the rabbit meat and the other package of seasoning to coat the potatoes (Follow the directions on the box). Spread the rabbit, potatoes, carrots and onion on a shallow baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Add the gravy and bake for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Update: in the last two days two of our does have popped out a litter. So we now have 13 babies and they all look delicious!
