Rabbit is usually very dry so for (IMO) best results either cook it with lost of liquid in a casserole/stew method or bard it. Barding is where you wrap the pieces of something like bacon to prevent the drying out, while it’s usually used for birds but works just as well for meats with a low fat content. Just wrap the meat in a piece of bacon/ prosciutto (the fattier the better) and hold it there with baking string or toothpick. One of my favorite ways of cooking rabbit is in a Spanish dish called paella. Here is a link to a recipe similar to what I do, scroll down to the second recipe. Traditionally paella can have rabbit in it as well and I would replace the pork with Spanish chorizo sausage and add a rabbit.

IMO the best way to cook rabbit is to stew it in a camp oven :wink:

Some of the above has got my mouth watering.

IMO the slow cooked method with plenty of fluid, your choice of veges and spices and the like, (I agree an onion or 2 is a must have:D) is the best, at home in the slow cooker or a casserol, or slow cooked in the camp oven untill the meat is falling off the bone, yum.

Another method I have tasted which was pretty good is to cut the rabbit into pieces, slow cook in a lite broth of water, onion, salt, your choice of spices and what ever else you want to add. When the rabbit is nice and tender remove dip and roll in egg and bread crumbs (or your special selection of eleven herbs and spices) and quickly fry in some butter in a saucepan. You don't want to fry the rabbit pieces too long, just untill the coating has been browned, or they will dry out.

Kentucky fried rabbit- yum. :D

I only use the back legs and backstraps and throw the rest in the shrimp net. I then bone the legs and wrap them individually in bacon and hold them together with a toothpick. The same goes for the backstraps. Simply cook on the barbie. :D

Put one rabbit in camp oven pour in two packets of vegetable soup mix and cover with water. Nice and easy when you are out in the bush and no fancy ingredients

I like to cut up the rabbit in small strips and dip them in batter and deep fry it. With chilli sauce it is just like kfc chicken strips.

This is the only way i eat rabbit. Fast and tasty. :twisted:
