Rez 4,961 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Right. How do you do yours?! I find the oven makes them tough, slow cooker is best so far for me. Not to worried about the ingredients etc, just cooking and so on? 1 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,589 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I remember coming home with my dad from dawn shooting trips in the school holidays. He'd paunch the rabbits for mum to make a stew later for dinner but, he made what he called a Hunter's Breakfast, where he used to skin some of the thighs and roll them in flour like chicken drumsticks and fry them in bacon fat. Serve up with fried eggs, bacon, black pud, tomatoes and field mushrooms, with thick toast from mum's home-baked bread. Cuppa tea!Beautiful breakfast that! 5 Quote Link to post
Mr Wilkes 3,163 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 My favourite is curried rabbit (West Indian style) mmm lovely, or if I'm cooking its basic roast rabbit on a bed of onions and garlic covered in streaky bacon . 1 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Seems most add something to them when oven cooking as they go pretty dry sometimes... Bacon etc. Simon. That breakie sounds the bomb, especially this am. 1 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,568 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Try this lads,- Up - Market Rabbit Stew. One Rabbit ( head shot with a HW 100 kt .177) using AA fields 8.4 grain mind you Dredge rabbit pieces in seasoned flour and fry until lightly browned. Then remove and set aside. Fry "gently" one or two rashers of chopped streaky bacon, and one large chopped onion until the onion is translucent but not coloured, then add two chopped carrots and two/ three sticks of chopped celery. Add rabbit pieces, cook for a few minutes, then add a good glug of sherry (medium),chicken stock (from cubes) to your desired amount gravy, small sprig thyme, black pepper, salt to taste. From here i like to put it in a slow cooker - until very, very tender (over night). 10 minutes before serving put a small tin of haricot beans into the stew and sprinkle croutons generously over. Recipe from "Delicious Vermin" By Rosie Barham. "enjoy" P.S Avoid any rabbits supplied by "Big Mac"and Rez, as they would have been old, deaf and very slow to react and undoubtably prove to be tough and none cookable.

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Bunny and Black Pudding Casserole for me, lovely and tender! quantities can be halved if you want a stew for 2!Ingredients:2 Bunnies (dressed and de-boned and diced - if you can leave them soaking overnight inbrine/White wine vinegar even better!)1lb of Black pudding2 medium onions2 carrots1 applea Little olive oilsalt and pepper1 level teaspoon mixed dried herbs2 chicken stock cubes and 1 vegetable stock cube1 pint of boiling water (in a jug)Shortcrust SconesPlain flour - 6 ozsmargarine 2ozsa little cold water to bindpinch of salt and pepper, pinch of dried sageTake your bunnies and brown them off in a HOT frying pan with some Olive oil.Once browned place in a large casserole dish.Chop your black pudding up into large chunks and brown off quickly. add to casserole dishChop onion, carrots and apple (leave skin on if desired)add to the casserole dish.Take 1 pint of boiling water in a jug and add the stock cubes and herbs. Leave the stock to stand until cooled slightly.Add salt and pepper to the casserole mix and stir well, add the stock and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius. cook for 1 hour and then turn the oven down to 150 degrees for a further 2 hours. ;DTo make the scones mix the flour and margarine together until it resembles breadcrumbs, add salt, pepper and sage. Add a little water until the mixture just begins to bind.knead mix together and leave to stand for 20 minutes in the fridge.Quickly roll out dough to 1 inch thick and cut out scones using a knife or scone cutter, place on a lightly greased tray and brush lightly with a little milk. Prick with a fork ( so they look pretty!)Add the scones to the oven 30 minutes before the casserole is cooked - check after 15 minutes (to see if cooked stick a sharp knife in if it comes out clean there done!)They should take about 15-25 minute to cook depending on how thick they are.Once cooked remove from oven allow to cool very slightly and then serve with mashed potatoes! If you can avoid using the stock cubes and simply boil the rabbit bones to make the stock then do so, much better taste! Edited August 12, 2015 by secretagentmole 3 Quote Link to post
