Rabbit Stew:
1 rabbit, cut into serving size pieces
8 ounces bacon, cut into strips
2 medium-size onions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
MARINADE
16 fluid ounces dry red wine
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
6 black peppercorns
2 sprigs parsley
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1. In a large shallow bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients together and stir to mix well.
2. Add rabbit pieces and baste them thoroughly.
3. Cover the dish and leave to marinate over-night or at least 12 hours.
4. Remove the rabbit from the marinade and dry on kitchen paper.
5. Strain the marinade into a jug and reserve. Preheat oven to 350 F.
6. In a flame-proof casserole, fry the bacon strips over moderate heat until they are quite crisp.
7. Set aside. Add the onions, garlic and carrots to the fat in the casserole and cook them 5 - 6 minutes, or until lightly colored red.
8. Add the rabbit pieces and turn frequently to brown them evenly and quickly.
9. Add the reserved marinade to the casserole and bring to the boil.
10. Remove casserole from the heat, add the bacon pieces and place in the oven.
11. Cook for 1 hour or until the thigh of the rabbit is tender when pierced with a fork.

Rabbit pieces
Onion, Mushrooms (pref wild for authenticity), Leek, Garlic, celery all roughly chopped
A little flour or cornflour to coat the rabbit
Red wine
Beef or chicken stock
Worcestershire sauce
Mushroom ketchup
Pepper but watch the salt, the WS and MK are both salty
Mixed herbs
Wash the rabbit pieces and dry. Dust with seasoned flour or cornflour and fry to brown.
If you have time sweat the veggies and put them in the casserole or slow cooker.
Cover with the liquid stuff
Cook slowly until meat is tender and falls off the bone.
Serve with boiled potatoes and a salad. Watch out for buckshot which can sometimes be found - depending on your rabbit.

First, you have to catch a rabbit. Actually fried rabbit is very good. Fry it like chicken. Here in Oklahoma, a lot of people would have starved to death during the depression if it wasn't for rabbits and squirrels. My father in law had a .22 rifle and would shoot and clean rabbits and sell them for a nickel. That was about the only money they had coming in.

Rabbit is a low fat meat, unlike beef or lamb it isn't marbled with fat. The fat sits on the surface as with chicken.
You can use many chicken recipies as its quite similar. Its probably best to use moist recipies rather than bake or roast it unless you add a sauce. You can also marinade it before cooking.
If you use the leg joints for a meal you can then roast the rest of the carcasse until browned, then simmer it for soup or stock.
