Rabbit

[KayLR]

We were gifted about 8 frozen rabbits from a local farm. It's been 25 years since I have cooked rabbit. Anyone have any advice or good recipes to try?

Use rabbit to replace the chicken in caccitore or fricassee. Both are yummy.

I tried to cook rabbit once and found the little bones a problem. How is this handled?

Rabbits are an excellent self sufficient food supply. A single doe from a meat rabbit breed can produce 320 lbs of meat per year.

With a little help from a buck.

What an awesome haul for you! Free food! We love fried rabbit - and don't get it near often enough. I'd love to raise them for meat, but realistically, having the chickens is enough - along with the veggie garden and all the lawn mowing and whatall, I'd be silly to add another chore to the list.

We've always just fried them up exactly like chicken: a little flour and seasoning and fried to a delectable brown, (I put a lid on the skillet after getting a nice crust on the pieces to ensure they get good and done) and gravy made from the grease leavings for the mashed 'tators. Yum.

Its as versatile as chicken and can be substituted for chicken in almost any dish. Super good braised, low and slow so it doesn't dry out (remember, rabbit is lean). Best thing to do is just start playing with it. For all the reasons Storyteller listed I bet we start seeing a lot more rabbit in the future.

Rabbits are too cute :) Fish are ugly, so I don't mind eating them.
