Right.
Rabbit. I have never eaten bunny rabbit. I intend to put this right next Saturday when I will purchase the flayed carass of said bunny. There is a superb fishmonger over the road who does a sideline in game and I can purchase said Bugs already skinned and prepared (also dead) for the princley sum of £2.70. A bargain as I'm sure you will agree.
Now all I need is a recipe. I have found some interesting ones in the link below (from a ferret website har har!) but has anyone here had a bash?
Failing that we can zoom straight off topic and reminisce about our favourie Bugs Bunny cartoons or make jokes about 'going like a rabbit' and similar.

I had it stewed in France – it was delicious… Tastes like chicken. rubschin:

I've eaten rabbit stew but never cooked it myself. My understanding is that you can adapt most chicken receipes to rabbit.

Here we go.
Spanish rabbit stew
Categories: None
Yield: 4 Servings
4 slice Bacon, diced
1 large Rabbit, cut into 6-8 pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cup Chopped onion
4 tablespoon Slivered garlic
½ cup Blanched almonds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Coarse salt
1 cup Dry white wine
3 cup Chicken stock
2 Bay leaves
¼ cup Dry sherry
Butter to thicken sauce Toasted sliced almonds for garnish Heat a large saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook the bacon until it is brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove bacon to drain on paper towels. Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining bacon fat and sear the rabbit pieces until golden on all sides, turning often, about 56 minutes. Lift out the rabbit pieces and reserve. Add the onion to the pan and saute until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 57 minutes. Add the garlic, almonds, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and salt, and cook until the aromas are released, about 1 minute. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the stock, browned rabbit pieces, browned bacon and bay leaves. Cook, covered, until rabbit is fork tender, about 1 hour. Carefully lift out the rabbit pieces and transfer to a serving platter. Add the sherry to the sauce along with enough butter to thicken the sauce, whisking until the butter is incorporated. Pour the sauce over the warm rabbit pieces and garnish with toasted sliced almonds.

Get him to joint it for you. Whole rabbit when cooked looks a bit like a skinned cat.
Otherwise it is very nice.
Like the man said ~ anything you can do to a chicken you can do to a rabbit ~ gastronomically speaking.
-
Bit technical for me that one wenchy. Plus almonds make me homicidal.
Sherry?
A lot of rabbit recipes seem to contain prunes for some reason.

That's because they are old fashioned recipes for old fashioned dishes. Rabbit is not popular nowadays. Try Googling Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall on the subject ~ He's good with such stuff.

I will probably get him to joint it. But I must admit one of the highpoints of Operation Fluffy Bunny will be Mrs TG's reaction to all this. She is somewhat squeemish and hysteria may ensue. point:

Good grief, leave the almonds out then! ::)
As for the rest. It's basically
Cook bacon, take it out
brown rabbit, take it out,
whack in onions and cook till soft,
throw in the rest of the spices, cook till you can smell them,
bung in wine cook till half gone
stick stock, rabbit and bacon back in
cook for 1 hour
take out rabbit
add sherry and butter cook until thick
pour sauce over rabbit and serve

Spoilt for choice now!
I'll probably end up frying it with some eggs. happy088

Will it have shotgun pellets in do you think or have they been worried to death by ferretts and the fear of climate change?

Ohhh that does look tasty!
I imagine it depends as to whether it was shot or trapped or whether it's some stringy mangy thing that died of old age!
-
The ones hanging up on the rack looked pretty sprightly (apart from being dead of course) so hopefully they they wont be to stringy.

A bit like the '5 knuckle shuffle', 'a quick one off the wrist' or 'making love to Mrs Hand her 5 lovely daughters' I suppose.
Shall we start a thread to see just how many euphemisms exist for masturbation? Could make for quite a long thread and could be turned into a book!
