What are your tastebuds craving? Fried, grilled, smoked or something else?
I like to wrap them in foil on the grill. Salt, pepper, bell peppers, sweet onions, jalapenos and butter. Them little straps come out pretty tasty.
Just anything. I've only had rabbit once, I really don't enjoy shooting them because they are so "cute", but I would like to compile some of the best game recipes for the coming Zombie Apocalypse. What I had was fried. I am a huge fan of smoking meat (travelled to Texas to get my Pitmaker Pit), but never really considered smoking wild meat, as I always thought it would be too dry. Now beef, pork and chicken.... I'm all over smoking that.Originally Posted by scootergisme
Everything fried is good! A guide to a party menu: If it's fried get double, if it's green your in trouble!!! My family enjoys them grilled. Quarter them up, put your favorite seasoning on them (mine is Daddy Hinkles) and grill them. Everything smoked is good. I have smoked a lot of different meats, as you know the key is low and slow. I can put water (or juice) is a pan in the bottom of my smoker that helps keeps moisture in the meat. Now I want something smoked...............
Fried is hard to beat. Get hold of some Kentucky Kernel Seasoned flour. Flour and brown in cast iron skillet. Make up some milk gravy using 1 part milk to 1 part sour cream. Pour gravy over fried rabbit in crockpot and cook on low until tender. All wild and domestic meat rolled and fried in Kentucky Kernel Seasoned flour is just plain “finger licking good”.
Now we're talking....
I always par boil them before frying by putting them in a pot of water, bringing it to a boil, turning off the stove and letting them tenderize in their broth. Then I'll take them out and give them a buttermilk bath while I season the flour and make a batch of biscuits. Then dredge them up and fry them. When they're done I'll put the heat on medium low add some flour and a thinly sliced onion to make a roux with a little of the fry oil and tidbits left in the pan, Then add the rabbit broth and stir constantly to make gravy. The gravy formula is 442. 4 tablespoons of oil, 4 tablespoons of flour, 2 cups of broth.
Dang I'm getting hungry

Rabbit Braised in Red Wine

Classic French style Cassoulet is my favorite.

When I was a kid we shot cottontails all winter. Limit was 6 each, couple of us would come home with limits easy. We’d carry a lidded 5 gallon bucket in the truck with salt water in it to put them in after we dressed them. Come home cut them up and freeze. My mom just fried them up like chicken and made cream gravy and mashed potatoes. I’ve eaten a hundred of them that way I bet.
Fried in a cast iron skillet or smoked then wrapped in tinfoil seasoned with butter for 4-5 hours…
French cassoulet is always good.

My dad always called this stew, but it's more of a tomato based soup.
Boil/shred or debone/cut raw rabbits
A couple cans of diced tomato
A can or two of tomato sauce
potatoes
Can of carrots and can of green beans the last 10 minutes
Onions
Garlic
Worchester sauce
Hot sauce
Let the liquid, rabbit, and potatoes low boil for an hour until the potatoes are done
Goes great with cornbread and obviously can be done with venison
