njc110381 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm sorry but this is a terrible waste. If your gonna leave rabbits in the field why don't you take them home and feed to dogs, or try and give them away. Any Game, Pigeon, Rabbit etc I don't eat I always give away. Personally I love rabbit. Cut the loin off and back legs a make a casserole, or like I did on Tuesday make a game pie with Rabbit, Pheasant, Pigeon and Woodcock I know exactly what you're saying ollie, that's why I'm always trying to find a way to cook it that I like. I can honestly say I can't give it away, well not all of them. I regularly give them to mates and have also offered them to the local butcher but he said he just can't get rid of that many? I shoot more than I can use and I do waste them I think I'm getting somewhere now I've tried boiling it. I like stews and curries so I can really overpower it if need be. I think I've just got off to a bad start with it and I'm doing my best to fix that. If I could just master a good bunny sausage I'd be well happy as I have all the kit. Does anyone have a highly spiced sausage recipe I could try? I'll eat anything, vindaloo means nothing to me, I just can't get to grips with the taste of bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covlocks Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Can't quite get my head around people who cook rabbit with so much gunk that you just can't taste the rabbit - you might as well curry a t*rd for all the difference it will make. Bunnie sausages work a treat with a subtle Red Wine Game Seasoning, in fact any decent pork sausage seasoning works for me. If you have too many and no one will take them of your hands, I can make good use of them 'cause I have a mixie problem in my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoughton Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 One of the nicest ways we cook rabbit now is very simple. Cut into joints (legs, saddle etc). If it's not a youngster then boil (in stock) for an hour or so to tenderise. Place in a roasting tin with the same quantity of belly of pork. Make sure each piece of rabbit is surrounded by pork pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Roast for 20mins at 220 then reduce to 160 and roast for a further 90 minutes. Everyone in our house loves it as it remains quite moist. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Anyone who is put off by the rabbit smell/taste should try discarding the pelvis, as this is where the scent gland resides. No scent gland, no strong taste .ZB Agreed, get rid of that (the scent gland not the pelvis) and then leave the carcase in salt water over night or milk which will dry the meat less (don't forget there's almost no fat on rabbit).

Mrs Sweepy Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I once cooked a rabbit that skunk to high heaven. So bad that i could not eat it. But not so my men All three said it was the best rabbit they had ever tasted. Its a case of not everything you put in your mouth taste likes it smells. Trust me i know about these things. xxxSuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
