Favorite rabbit recipes?

I''d like to know too.

I'm not a cook, so no recipes as such. 

If you like chicken and dumplings though, rabbit and dumplings is made the exact same way. And when we fry a young rabbit we always boil it first to tenderize it then bread and fry it like chicken.

Older rabbits I clean and cut up into quarters and a back piece, put in a large cast iron dutch oven along with baby carrots, a cut up onion, diced potatoes, a can of English peas, a little minced garlic, salt, black pepper and a couple of sticks of margarine. I put the lid on, add coals to the top then let it simmer for at least 4 hours (6 is better), then serve.

Rabbit is good vittles 

Try frying it the first time. We're butchering our first rabbits tomorrow so I haven't actually tried any recipes yet but I've been told most people can't tell the difference between fried rabbit and fried chicken. Don't know if that's true or not.

I've tried cooking rabbit twice recently - to get family agreement to raise them for food.  Neither recipe was bad, but not great.  Don't know what the secret is but it's very dry - even after being boiled.

Anyone know?
 

I would like to help, me and my family just had an awesome rabbit dinner from our second butchered rabbit (the first was only so so). I do not know the exact recipe as it is my dad's but I can say that it is first pan cooked with several fresh chopped veggies like: Onions, bell peppers, celery, etc. Then we made a sort of gravy, simmered it in that, and served it on rice. BEST RABBIT EVERRRRR!!! But like I said this is hardly the exact recipe, just saying that Pan fryed with choice veggies and served on rice seems to be a really good way to eat it :d. Our choice seasoning was rosemary and hot curry, we used a little milk to even it out. Though you can use just plain old salt and pepper and it turns out just as good.

Hold on, let me talk to my dad and see if he could give you the full recipe...he might not though since he usually just "wings it" with food...

Okay for domestic rabbit:

First soak in a bowl of water with a table spoon of vineger with a sprinkling of salt for about 30's minutes to an hour. (be careful not to add too much of either)

Then  quarter the rabbit, then brown it in olive oil.

Throw in a third part celery, third part bell peppers, and third part onions.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Then make a brown gravy mix and boil the rabbit to desired taste.

Serve with white or wild rice.

You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for gravy :)
