How to Cook Rabbit
Tender, lean, and delicately flavored rabbit meat has long been popular in European kitchens but has only recently gained momentum on American menus. While rabbit is a versatile meat often compared to that mainstay of the kitchen, chicken rabbit is considerably leaner and must be prepared in a slightly different manner. The slower you cook rabbit meat, the better it will be, retaining more moisture and flavor. Trying to cook it like chicken will only end in disaster as high heat and quick cooking will render your rabbit tough and dry. Only the back legs can stand those methods of preparation, so be sure to adjust accordingly. If your heart is set on quick-cooking, be sure to give your rabbit some protection by wrapping it in something fatty, like strips of bacon or prosciutto.
Unsure what flavors to pair with your rabbit meat? As the old adage goes, "take the animal back to its feed," and that couldn’t be more true than when preparing this flavorful meat. Carrots are one of our favorite pairings, their natural sweetness highlights and enhances the rabbits'.
