Rabbit recipes

I see that you've got a meal sorted but thought I'd post this anyway as the recipe sounds lovely. It was in the Economy Gastronomy book - also there's a link to other rabbit recipes at the bottom of the recipe. Not sure how much a whole rabbit weighs though? Creamy Garlic Rabbit Casserole

Thanks! I've got 300g of rabbit in the freezer too.
There are just two of us. I think I'm going to cook it with the quantaties in the recipe and hope for the best. Unless any one can help me?

Thanks again WBH - that sounds yummy!

I'd really love to hear how you get on, as this is one of the recipes on my "to do" list"!
I suppose as there is less meat & more sauce per portion, then you could either add more veg or what I'd be inclined to do is serve it over slightly "smashed" potatoes to soak up the sauce a bit? Or maybe mash would work?

Edit: just been looking in my copy of the book for inspiration to see what the casserole was served up with when I noticed a few extra details. The BBC website while mentioning these ingredients in the final stages of the recipe, omits them from the ingredients list! There should be 200g of mushrooms & a good knob of butter for cooking the mushrooms in. He says that oyster or shiitake are best but button mushrooms are cheaper. He also sprinkles 1tbsp of chopped chives over the finished meal. Hope someone at the BBC updates the recipe - wouldn't be the same without the mushrooms!

I was watching the Hairy Bikers last night and there was a recipe for Rabbit and beef pie. (It is probably on the bbc site). Maybe you could add some beef to eke it out and use this for a curry or casserole (or whatever you were planning).

Does anyone know if there is a way to roast a wild rabbit so that it's nice????

Every roast rabbit recipe I find says to use farmed rabbit?

Advice greatly recieved!

Hi,
Iv never got on very well with roasting one. Thay have always turned out very dry and in places burnt:eek:

Best bet is to roast it over a lonf time on a very low heat wraped up in some tin foil. This turn out best for me but even that was not that good.

We have rabbit quite often we tend to have fads on it.

We now normaly just strip the meat off the bones and pan fry it or stew it, turn it into curry and taht sort of stuff.


Best of luck
Always turns out lovely.

Tbh I think most people stew them. I did roast one once and when it came out of the oven it looked like a roasted headless baby - needless to say no one could bring themselves to eat it!

Rabbits are lovely (to eat). Our butcher does wild rabbits that have been shot locally. I take the meat off the saddle and hind legs (and any other bits that are worth having). I use the carcasses to make stock and then make a casserole with the rabbit meat and stock. You can just joint them and casserole them on the bone but they are fiddly to eat. Allow one rabbit per two people.
