Got a couple rabbits from a friend, about 2.5 pounds each. I'm in need of a good recipe for these bunnies. I am thinking of making a stew or a soup but I am open to any other recipe.

 

The best way to eat rabbit is to fry it...

Step 1: Quarter the little boogers

Step 2: Soak the quarterd meat in buttermilk overnight.

Step 3: Add about 3 eggs to your buttermilk and mix thoroughly (about an hour before you cook it).

Step 4: crush about 15-20 crackers into a plastic bags until its about
a fine powder. Then add a tablespoon of salt and pepper to the crumbs

Step 5: Dip your quartered meat into the cracker crumbs and place into you frydaddy or cast iron skillet at about 350*. Cook for 6-8 minutes unitl golden brown.

Step 6: *optional* Melt about 1/4 cup of Hooters Hot Wing sauce in the microwave and cover the meat for some awesome rabbit wings.

 

That sounds good Eric!

 

We used to rotisserie them. Or grill them.

We would soak in buttermilk over night, just as cincy did, then we would take, fresh garlic, lemon juice, pepper, lemon salt, basil, oregano, (and anything else you like) whip up the butter with the above, rub it all over the bunny, wrap in tin foil with a few apple slices, and seal it up as best you can, place it in a rotisserie basket or just on the top grill. Generally turned out better if you cooked it slow, but not so slow that it could dry out.

If you spray the tinfoil with PAM the bunny wont stick as bad to the tin foil.

What ever you do don't forget the cold beer!!!

 

Put the little baggers in a crock pot and smother them with your favorite BBQ sauce.. let them cook for the day..

Just remember not to get any hares in there..

 

All the recipes sounds good! Thanks Wyo, Colo and Eric!

Wyo, I always have a good cold beer ready!

 

Quarter them, soak them in salt water in the fridge overnight, paint them with soy sauce and crushed garlic and throw them on the BBQ. It tastes so good, Lary should think about keeping that cat for himself. No one would know the difference, I promise.

 

You could try the python recipe - swallow them whole.

 

Marinate overnight in your favorite BBQ sauce and place on a green board (wet) and place in oven at 350 for 55 mins. Remove from oven, throw away wabbits and eat board

This meal will be 10 times the daily minimum requirement for Fiber in your diet

 

UP HERE...Jack Rabbit Stew. Lots of veggies and chicken broth.
Or Roast Bunny...seasoned bunny smothered like a pot roast. Slow roasted.
Gotta Hop To it because what we learned was the sooner we cooked them, the better the flavor...I throw in a carrot for each rabbit.

Might want to let sit in salt water a little while first. It'll draw out most of the hair and blood trail from the shot. Check for shot too, so you don't give yourself any hasty fillings. I always just made beef/barley style stew in a slow cooker, and subbed the beef for rabbit. For extra kick, throw in some stewed tomatoes. A slow cooker will keep the meat tender.

 

sounds good scotty!


Don, rabbit and barley stew sounds like it would be good too. I'll clean them up really well before cooking. I don't want any extra fillings. How many bunnies do you use per pot of stew?

 

My crock pot is small so just one, at least quartered up. Seriously, it'll look clean, but the salt water will draw hair out of some unforseen places.

 

I have a small crock pot too, one would be fine in it then. I'm gonna soak the bunny in salt water tomorrow, I'm sure something will draw out of it. My friand cleans his game very well but just in case I'll soak them.

 

You don't have to soak a long time, 1/2 hour- an hour.
Send the head to Top, he needs some cat bait.
