henry c Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I soak the fresh cut meat portions in salt water for 2-3 days you can add some lemon juice too. doing this makes the meat whiter (draws the blood) and removes most of the rabbity smell.

Mannlicher Stu Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Soak it in milk? Sounds like a strange thing to do, but I'll give it a try. It's surprising how many of these old tricks work really well. I'll try the wine idea too, anything I can do to be able to enjoy eating what I shoot is a good thing! Cheers Use a shringe and inject the meat with Port then Roast its nice> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeihrauchPower Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I posted that just before I left work, thought about it and should have said... Its a very personal thing really, smell. One person might hate it, the other love it. One thing that works for other smells is run a tap whilst cleaning them, takes the smell away a bit.. I am the same with "cheesy" pigeon, can't stand it, makes me heave Sickly horrible smell, not unlike strong cheese at room temperature which I absolutely love. No explaining it, just don't like it. Probably the same with you and rabbits mate A bit like Quail, i can't stand the smell. De-boning Quail is a job i hate enough anyway without that horrible smell! All part of the fun when your a chef ey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 The last one I cooked was a bit better. I put it in a roasting tin, rammed it full of Onion and some Garlic, then tipped half a bottle of red wine on it. Covered it and cooked for an hour and a half. Job done, rather nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooky Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 To me, fresh rabbit flesh stinks. No matter how soon I paunch them. It is a completely unique smell and in no way connected to the smell of the guts. I should know..... having processed tens of thousands of rabbits over the last 25 years or so. Also, I cannot stand the smell of it during cooking, no matter what I add to it to disguise the smell. Having said all that, I like the smell once it's cooked! So, I suppose, I should get someone else to cook it for me, then I might enjoy it. Strangely enough, I don't have this problem with Hares.
