Rabbit is one of the great braising meats in the outdoors, equally at home in tomato, mustard, cider, or herb-driven dishes.
Flavor Profile
Light, gently sweet, and best when cooked with enough moisture to relax the muscles.
Preparation Techniques
- cider braise
- fried pieces
- mustard stew
- pot pie
Seasonality
Cool-weather cooking suits rabbit best, especially when gardens have given way to roots, alliums, and stored herbs.
Tips
- brown pieces well before braising
- rest fried rabbit briefly
- use stock rather than water
