how do you cook a rabbit?
« on: Mar 11, 2009, 06:45:28 PM »
i always shoot rabbits for other ppl and i wanted to try one myself. just need to know how to cook one. tips?
There i was back in the wild again, felt right at home where I belong. And I had that feeling comin' over me again, just like it happened so many times before. Oh Fred Bear, walk with me, down the trails again. Take me back, back where I belong. Oh Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side my friend. And I'll join you on the big hunt before too long.

One of my favorite meals is Rabbit and Spaghetti. Parboil the Rabbit, then peel the meat off the bones and simmer in the spaghetti sauce. The rest is self explanatory...Mmm

Usually skin it, wash it and then put in crock pot for 8 hrs low. then de-bone and use it in stew.
If its BROWN...Its DOWN!!!      If it FLYS...It DIES!!!

I usually go Jeremiah Johnson style and cook mine on a spit over an open fire. I sprinkle a little seasoning salt over the whole rabbit, skewer the rabbit on my spit, wire the back legs together and cook over an open campfire. I've got a firepit at the cabin with the spitrod setup ready to roll when we want to cook over the fire. Going out after "Bugs" this afternoon when I get done with snow removal. We have a major winter storm moving in tonight so I want to get a few before we have 14" of snow to deal with.

Git a few, skin em, parboil em and put in a 9 in pie crust with bag of frozen veggies and some chicken gravy.  Cover with other pie crust.  350 for 25-30 minutes=rabbit pot pie.  Frickin delicious

I Clean it well,   boil it,  Pull the meat off the bones and throw in a spaghetti sauce. The acidity in the tomato sauce breaks down the meat real well  (Parts of rabbit can be "rubbery").   Also like to pull the little back straps off, roll them in egg then flour and fry in butter (they are like chicken breast!).

Would it help to hang it like a deer for a couple days? let it relax a bit.

Fly-In;

You bet it will.
You can age any wild game/fowl. It does improve the flavor and tenderness.
Aging doesn't happen if the carcass freezes. 38-44 degrees will work good.
You can cook rabbits any way you can cook chicken.
Try 1/8-tsp of ground cumin, 1/8-tsp ground cinnamon and 1/2-tsp of paprika (mixed together) and use as a rub before baking.
Good on chicken, too.
