Any good recipes for Rabbit?
I just spotted it in my grocery store's frozen section and thought I'd try it. It comes
raw, and is described as "tender, young, cut-up white meat with giblets".
I've never cooked rabbit before so need some advice and recipes.
You know, back in the late 1980s, the early 1990s, there was a wonderful magazine, Spy, that did a journalistic "project," setting up a "business" that sold fried rabbit, baked rabbit, sauted rabbit, cooked rabbit, rabbit burgers, rabbit chops, rabbit legs, in a shopping mall in New Jersey.
The place looked like the standard McDonald's or Runza's set-up.
Rabbit didn't sell well, at least in suburban New Jersey.

1. Like fricasse
My mother floured and browned the rabbit, and then simmered it for a half hour in a kind of thick gravy. Yummy.
Yucky.

2. That does sound good and is similar to a recipe that was on the box.
But I decided I didn't want the flour this time.
I perused some online recipes for rabbit stew and then just kind of made up my own.
It turned out so amazingly good that I'm a little surprised (just one of those magical cooking moments when everything comes together just right) and am ready to make it again tomorrow!
I wrote it down so I'd remember what I did. Here it is:
Rabbit Stew/Casserole
1 rabbit chopped into parts/with giblets
2 Red or White Med. Potatoes
1 large red onion, cut in rings
2 carrots chopped
2 lg. Cloves garlic chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 C. canned or fresh cranberries
½ apple sliced/peeled
2 bacon slices, chopped into a few pieces
3 T. olive oil
3 T. butter
1 C. white wine
1 C.pork or beef broth
1 T. sweet honey mustard (or Dijon)
fresh rosemary sprigs
ground sage
ground fennel
five spice
Salt/white pepper
In a skillet heat 3 T. of olive oil and 3 T. butter.
Add garlic and 1/2 onion and cook down until transluscent.
Add spices as desired.
Brown the meat in skillet (a few minutes on each side). Remove from pan.
Add bacon slices to pan and cook a few minutes.
Add wine and some pork broth adding more spices as needed.
Add the honey mustard and mix in well.
Toss the remaining veggies in this sauce for a few minutes (chopped carrots, potatoes, remaining ½ onion, celery) until they’ve soaked up the sauce a bit.
Oil a covered casserole dish .
Place the browned rabbit and vegetables in the dish along with apple slices
and cranberries.
Pour the sauce from the skillet on top (add broth, wine or a bit of water if more is needed).
Cover and bake for 1 ½ - 2 hours at 350 degrees.
I dunno. I'm skeptical.

Actually I've had rabbit several times and it was always very good. The meat is tender and sweet.

I preach the truth from the Bible. The Bible irrefutably says that God hates bunnies and they are to face capital punishment. Got a problem with that? God's wrath is building up against bunnies and the "Day" is coming. It will be a bloody, painful, and violent day. All bunnies and their allies face Judgement Day and enter the gates of Hell of eternal torment.
