Cooking Rabbit and Rabbit Recipes

To make a delicious rabbit meal, in the immortal words of Mrs Beeton, the 19th century cook and writer.

"First catch your rabbit"
.

This can be accomplished by various means, the energetic way, be it ferreting, shooting, long netting, or maybe running through the fields early in the morning shouting here bunny bunny!
My preferred way to obtain my favourite meat is to saunter down to our local butchers shop and purchasing a couple of pot ready prepared bunnies.

First Up Rabbit Stew - rabbit recipe

The Easy Way to cook rabbit

Easy Rabbit RecipeIngredients

A couple of Rabbits
Olive Oil
Garlic, Onions and Chillies (if you like it HOT)
Root Vegetables Carrots Swede Potatoes or any other root veg you have
A couple of pints of chicken stock
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method

Remove Lungs Heart Liver Kidneys (use those for more stock or discard).

Joint the Rabbits into back legs front legs and saddle cut the saddle in to two pieces discard the rib cage (or use for stock).

Chop the root vegetables into large chunks. Not the potatoes that comes later.

Start heating the chicken stock ..bring it to the boil and turn down to a very slow simmer.

Using a heavy based frying pan sweat the garlic (crush and chop it) onions (roughly chop them) and chillies (finely chop them) in a liberal splash of olive oil..once tender transfer to a heavy based stew pot.

Turn up the heat on the frying pan, add another liberal splash of olive oil, seal the rabbit joints in the frying pan.
(Don't go overboard on the frying just enough to give a nice light brown colour).

Once sealed transfer the Rabbit joints to the stew pot pour the hot chicken stock over the rabbit.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add the chopped root vegetables bring the whole lot back up to the boil.
Turn down the heat to a low simmer stir the stew, cover and leave to simmer for about an hour.
Then add the potatoes (cubed) bring the stew back up to a slow simmer stir it and leave for about another three quarters of an hour or until the potatoes are tender.

Serve with crusty bread and green vegetables.
I also find a good bottle of Claret helps the whole lot down.

Enjoy.

Mustard Rabbit recipe

Mustard Rabbit RecipeThis Mustard Rabbit dish takes some time to prepare ... but it's worth it!

Ingredients

Half a dozen rabbit joints
4 large tablespoons of Dijon mustard
Seasoned flour
Large knob of unsalted butter (a couple of ounces is about right)
3 or 4 rashers on streaky bacon
onion
garlic
about half a pint of double cream

Method

Wash and dry your rabbit joints.

Put them in a large bowl, cover with salted water and leave to soak for a couple of hours.

Drain and dry.

Coat the rabbit joints evenly with the Dijon mustard and leave them in a cool place overnight. I suggest the fridge... if you're in the market for a fridge look here for excellent fridges.

The following day...I said this mustard rabbit recipe takes time...
Dust the rabbit joints lightly with seasoned flour, shake off any surplus.

Melt the butter in a flame-proof casserole and lightly brown the rabbit joints on both sides.
Lift out the rabbit joints and set them aside.

Peel and finely chop one onion and garlic cloves to taste.
Remove the rind from the bacon and roughly chop it.
Fry the bacon in the butter for three or four minutes add the onion and garlic and cook over a low heat until the onion is soft.

Return the Rabbit joints to the casserole, cover with a close fitting lid and cook over a very low heat for a further thirty minuets.

Remove the casserole from the heat and stir in the double cream.

Cover again with a close fitting lid and throw the whole lot into an oven preheated to about 180c.
Cook for about forty five minuets..you might like to stir the casserole once or twice during the cooking time.

Serve straight from the casserole (mind you don't burn the table)!

Boiled potatoes and the usual green vegetables go well with this dish
You might want to throw a few bread croutons over the top as well.

Enjoy.

Rabbit Stew Two

The Picky Way


Olio Santo California Extra Virgin Olive Oil
First Cold Press 500ml 16.9 oz


A couple of Rabbits (Try to obtain young rabbits for this recipe).
Garlic, Onions and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Root Vegetables Carrots and Swede.
Closed Cup Button Mushrooms.
Red Wine...open a bottle drink half, save half!
(you don't have to drink the whole half bottle at once this recipe takes a while)!

Method

Clean your rabbits remove the lungs liver kidneys and heart.

Joint your rabbits, you needn't be too fussy with this part just back legs off and a chop above the saddle will do.

Put the rabbit pieces in a large saucepan cover and with water.
Bring to the boil and remove any scum that forms.
Reduce the heat to a low simmer throw in a couple of whole peeled garlic cloves, cover and simmer slowly for about an hour.

You could busy yourself with the half bottle of wine during this hour.

When the hour is up remove the rabbit pieces and garlic cloves from the liquid.
Pour the remaining half bottle of wine into the liquid..(you did save some wine didn't you)?
Bring this back to a simmer and leave it to reduce by about one third.

Now for the picky part..take all the meat off the bones, it should be quiet tender by this time and you'll get some good sized chunks from the back legs and saddle, leave them whole.
Be wary it will be HOT.
Use a blunt knife to remove the meat if it's too hot to handle.
Put the meat to one side.

Sweat some garlic and onions in a liberal dash of olive oil in a frying pan.
Once tender add to a large stew pot.
Give the root vegetables and button mushrooms a quick glaze in olive oil in the frying pan.
Add to the stew pot.
Put the rabbit meat into the stew pan and add the reduced wine/stock liquid.
Bring this to a very low simmer stir, cover and leave for three quarters of and hour or until the root vegetables are tender.

Serve with mashed potato and leafy green vegetables and you could open another bottle of wine after all this time!

Enjoy.

A Word about Rabbit Meat

Rabbit meat is one of the leanest meats available it is leaner than beef, pork, or chicken meat.

Farmed Rabbit is to my taste rather bland more like chicken than rabbit. It's all right if you want to use it in an heavily flavoured dish such as curry but for stewing, roasting, frying or barbecuing I'd say go for the wild rabbit every time.
If at all possible obtain ferreted rabbits as they won't have any shot in them to catch unwary teeth!

Farmed Rabbit is sold in two different categories the Fryer and the Roaster

The Fryer is a young rabbit of up too twelve weeks old and weighing in between one and a half and three and a half pound.
The tender fine grained flesh of the fryer is ideal for barbecuing or frying.

The roaster is a rabbit over eight months old and weighing in at over four pounds.
As the name suggests the roasters more coarsely grained but less tender flesh is ideal for roasting but also great for stewing.

Bunny Burgers

The rabbit recipe


Weston Burger Express Hamburger Press with Patty Ejector

This one is quick and simple.

Ingredients

Rabbit Meat off the Bone
One egg (beaten)
Onion (if you want Crunch)
Breadcrumbs
Salt and Pepper

Method

Course grind your rabbit meat and put it in a bowl.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add finely chopped onion now if you want a crunchy texture to the finished burger.

Add some bread crumbs and mix well (use your hands you get a better mix that way) add a little beaten egg and mix again.
The object is to get the rabbit meat to bind together so it will stay as one piece when it is cooking. Not too wet and not too dry.
If the mixture is too dry add a little more beaten egg or if it is too wet add more breadcrumbs or rabbit meat.
When you are satisfied that your mixture is correct you can proceed to the burger making stage.

You can just grab a handful of the mixture, roll it into a ball between your palms and press it flat on a board.
But by far the easiest way to form the burger is to use a Burger Press as this gives an even uniform result every time and if you are making a lot of burgers it will save you an awful lot of valuable time.

Now you have your bunny burgers cook them in the normal way.
Grill or barbecue them turning once or twice during the process.

    I was introduced to Rabbit as an adolescent in the 1960's. Our neighbor would go Rabbit hunting and would give our family a Bunny!...my grandmother knew how to skin, soak( to get the wild taste out of the game) and she would batter and fry the Rabbit and make gravy, with biscuits and a side dish...that was back in the day "good eating"!
