Rabbit's one of those meats that you either love or hate. It can taste quite strong, and I personally think that it's best to do it in a stew. Assuming your rabbit's skinned and gutted - wash it well, and cut into chunks. Watch out for any small bones.
I simmer it for 3-4 hours, along with chosen vegetables, either a stock cube or gravy powder added to water beforehand, and a sprinkling of rosemary on the top. Enjoy.
make sure it hasbeen hung for a few days before skinning.
as Icy says above but if u put it in apir make sure you support the pastry lid by putting an upturned eggcup in the middle
Assuming what you have is actually a rabbit and not a hare, here in the western U.S. ranch country, they are staple fare. We'd just clean and skin a freshly shot Cotton Tail or two, maybe three), dredge it, after being cut up (remove both front legs, rear legs and cut the spine just behind rib cage producing two pieces) in flour, salt and pepper, and fry it in hot oil (not to deep) for about 30 minutes, remove and drain excess oil. Good as it gets...
best way is to roast it with chopped garlic and olive oil, for 20mins a pound and it just pulls off the bone, so tastey i feel hungry now. Thats what we do when we shoot them, you need one between two people for i nice tea.
