Guest Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Can anyone recommend a good, but simple recipe for rabbit please? It's been suggested I baste it in honey, then roll in herby breadcrumbs, but does anyone have any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) We cook ours in English Cider. Coat the portions in flour and fry until golden. Remove from the pan. Fry an onion and when starting to colour add a sliced apple. Add stock/cider and carrots and the rabbit and cook as for stew.

Tessa the Duchess Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I've only cooked rabbit once. I coated it in a paste of English mustard and then covered it in breadcrumbs then fried it. I liked it, but children were Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I liked it, but children were Tessa I plan on NOT telling the children what they are eating, to get an honest opinion on the taste..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Oh heck, thats brave Shona! Will you tell them afterwards? They wont think its a friends pet will they? My aunty did this when i was younger, when she cooked duck for the family i was horrified and thought she had nabbed one from the canal down the road!

Probably a wise move Rabbit does have a very distinctive taste, I am used to it as my mother used to cook rabbit when I was a child, until that horrible disease wiped them out, mixamatosis? something like that.

Louise Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I can't eat rabbit Having been married to a butcher for years and being around things as they get gutted etc I find the meat tastes the way the guts smell and the flavour makes me gag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howwhywhen Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Last year my son (17 at the time) marinaded rabbit kebabs along with some normal ones and then gave some to my daughter (12). She loved them . . . until we told her what it was. She now questions us closely about each and every kebab before she eats it Fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FruitandNutCake Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ex FIL was (and still is) a hunter. I didn't mind the pigeon kebab, but when they served stew< I asked if there was rabbit in it. They said no, until I ate it - then admiTed it had rabbit in it. I was not happy at all! I bet they wouldn't have been happy eating lurcher or retriever!
