Anybody have a good recipe for cooking one. Our attempt at grilling last night came out a bit tough, though the flavor was good. All the dogs, especially the beagles were entranced by the scent of roasting rabbit.

When I lived in Italy, I ate a rabbit ragout over paparadelle that was wonderful - coniglio. I think that grilling probably wasn't the way to go - braising or slow cooking would probably have been better, but the gf wanted to try out our new charcoal grill.

Imo, rabbit lacks the fat necessary to make for good grilling...unless you wrap it in something like bacon.

Wild animals have lower fat content compared to their domesticated counterpart because life in nature demands more physical activity(to find food and to escape from predators and to compete with others for territory, food, space, mates, etc).

Flavor/texture associated with premium meat comes from higher fat content/"marbling" that is usually not found in natural meat.

This illustrates the fallacy that comes from the claim that one is eating healthy by eating like ancient human ancestor who lived in caves(hunter gatherer) and ate lot of meat. Guess what? Meat from wild animals is not same as meat from domesticated animals even on free ranging farms without growth hormones and other chemicals, and even when fed via foraging on natural resources.

You can verify this easily by comparing meat cut from wild pig/boar versus domesticated pig. If you've ever butchered a wild pig/boar, one thing is clear: they have VERY LITTLE FAT. Their bodies are lean, muscular, and very tough.

You can get around it by using meat tenderizer and special seasoning or by using it in a stew with herbs.

Dude - you didn't even ask if this was a farmed or wild rabbit. I don't have any problem with your advocating a particular dietary style or voicing opposition to a dietary style. In fact, I find it amusing that some who make a big deal about dietary CW in "the world" being wrong get upset about challenging this forum's dietary CW, but this thread is about cooking fucking rabbits, not wild game versus farmed. Wild game is leaner? Wow, who knew?

You've started ~15 other threads about eating styles, and while we frequently get repeated thread topics, they don't typically come from the same person over the course of a couple days. Why don't you try to find some focus and start a coherent, cogent thread on the topic. That said, if you have some specific advice about cooking bunnies, then please offer it, otherwise STFU, at least on this thread.

LOL, I know. But rabbit is not a common store item, even at health food store.

When I think of rabbit, I usually think of it as something that is hunted with a pistol, LOL.

Less debate, more tasty bunny recipes please!

Back when I used to raise rabbits I would cook up pot fulls of rabbit and rice. Again probably not what you are looking for but it was very tasty.

Its super easy to make....just boil the rabbit, de bone it, mix it with some rice, salt, pepper, and butter

Now that does sound good!
