Recipes for rabbit

red wine casserole; always good for game. Use shallots, not onions.

sounds good

and bacon, btw.

so I could brown the rabbit off, fry off some sallots and bacon lardons, sweat some root veg, add wine and stock and cook away?

sibaroni...Knows the score....mmmmmmmmm

Yep, but blend a spoonful of flour into the juices after browning and removing the meat. Cook for two and half hours, adding the shallots after one and a half; something like that.

Off to shoot some rabbits. What a brave man.

What if you just wound one?

Then the hounds will be sent in to despatch the creature, I would imagine. HTH.

HTH ffs

What if the hounds can't find it, or it is slightly wounded but manages to escape?

I vote for the casserole too. Rabbit or pheasant casserole when cooked properly is fantastic.

Or hides under a rock. Fkin **s.

Ever tried Somerset Rabbit?

1 Rabbit
2 Tablespoons Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
2oz Lard or oil
1 Onion chopped
1lb Mixed root vegetables, scrubbed and cut into chunks
1 Tablespoon tomato puree
1 Teaspoon Yeast extract, such as Marmite
1/2 Teaspoon Mixed herbs
1/2 pint Cider
1/2 pint Chicken stock
Salt and pepper


METHOD:-
Cider drinking rabbit 6Kb

Keep rabbit whole or if it will not fit in casserole, cut in two between hind legs and rib cage and dust over with seasoned flour. Heat lard or oil in a pan and turn rabbit in it until brown. Lift out of fat onto plate.

Fry onion gently to soften. Put rabbit in pan or casserole. Put veg on top and add other ingredients cover with a lid or foil. Either bring to boil and simmer until tender about 1 1/2 hours, or put casserole into a warm oven, gas 3, 325F, 160C, for about 2 hours or until tender. Lift out rabbit, remove all meat from bones and return to pan and re-heat. Serve as a stew with potatoes and green vegetables or with pasta shells.

Serves 4. Goes well under a pie crust or with dumplings. Freezes very well.

Very few rabbits will escape a shotgun shot & a dog. If they do....well, it's a rabbit, big deal.

Says it all really.

it does have to be kept whole though, seems a shame to cut in two between hind legs and rib cage ;-)

Glad I've cleared that up for you. Now, some tasty Foie Gras is beckoning....cheerio :)

always get some pheasants off my uncle an usually just roast em but think i will try cassreole next time.

some good idea here - thanks

Mitchel Downie - i'm not doing it to be a 'brave man'. They are a pest and a family member has a farm. I asked it I could go and shoot some rabbits as they are overun with them. An now I'm looking for different ways to eat them - as opposed to just shooting them for the fun of it. Ok?

....and I'm a good shot btw

Butterfly Collector, definitely put the pheasants in a casserole. A cracking dinner.

any more good ideas for cooking our furry friends?

Game Terrine or Game Pie

aww killing rabbits nasty u

if u have game do u dice it?

I agree with Sib. Cooking it that way is delicious.
Also, the way they cook it in Malta (which I don't know the method of). Rabbit is very popular over there and they sometimes pass it around in bars as 'nibbles'.
Very, very tasty, if anyone knows the recipe?

try stifado

google for recipe, basically a stew with tomatoe and onion.

secret you will not find (from the grandmother, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and one of vinegar while stewing)

enjoy with crusty bread and red wine

p.s. wild rabbit meat is amazing!

rabbit

redrich, couldn't you just round them up, drive them 10 miles away and release them if they are a pest. Shooting living creatures is disgusting.

I love rabbit, I usually just have a stew, throwing in whatever vegetables are available, but I will save some of these racipes.

It's just that I have to have carrots with my rabbit, I don't know why.

Oh, and game pie at this time of year, beautiful.

only one way to eat a rabbit for me...
cut in half around the middle, parboil for 15 mins (?) or so, remove from pan, transfer to roasting tin, oil lightly and place in oven until nicely browned (30-40 mins?). .. and eat it!

similar recipe for salmon..
stuff cavity with finely chopped onions, herbs, garlic, and butter.. seaon and wrap whole fish in a clean teatowel.
place in a medium warm oven for 25 mins, remove from oven, unwrap the fish, throw it in the bin and eat the teatowel. salmon is not one of my favourite fish, btw.

i have 2 rabbits as pets so i see you as a 8astard for eating them how could you

mitchell - I guess that you don't approve, me neither. But as an often falling off the wagon vegetarian that owns a whippet that shows no interest in chasing rabbits it would be nice to hear your objections, for instance is it just the fluffy bunny angle or a bit deeper than that?

Mixi Mash
5lb of spuds, 3 sick rabbits, dont bother with the gun these mixi rabbits wont be able to run away, grab them by back legs and kneck, pull taught, following this proceedure you may witness said beast shiver / shake, do not worry it is not auditioning as a shakin stevens impersonator on britains got talent, within a few moments the beast will cease to exist, if you are quick you can remove the still beating heart as a snack for your dog, skin,gut, lightly roast,chop into small pieces with gravy made from the roast juice, cover with mash and back in oven for 30 mins, enjoy.
