Rabbit

[89Bronco]

I need a recipe for rabbit. Are there any good ones out there? Thanks!

I start off by mixing a batch of flour, seasoned salt and pepper into a strong plastic bag. I clean the rabbit thoroughly, wash off and then "shake" in the bag of flour mix. In a large skillet I use about 1/2" to 3/4" of cooking oil. I pan fry the rabbit until it's brown and crispy. Every other batch or so I add sliced onions into the oil with the rabbit. Pat on paper towels to remove any oil and then place in the large roaster pan. I then cook that in the roaster for several hours (checking often to make sure there is enough water/moisture in the roaster) until tender. I will add cooked carrots to the rabbit if I want to make it a little more fancy. Some of the other guy's make it with mushroom soup or with Barbeque Sauce.
I don't know how much rabbit you have but just about every year for the last 25 years we've held a "Rabbit Feed" and I've alway's made at least one large roaster of rabbit. I typically only use the loins and back legs of the rabbit for the feed. I usually keep the front legs and back for myself.

It seems that we always end up with a bunch of them during grouse hunting. Nobody seems to want them so I take them home and clean them up. Then...I make my famous Snow-Shoe Stew.

I'm not going to tell you how to make your stew, as I'm sure you can handle that. I took a gallon of stew up to deer camp with 3 rabbits diced up in it and just about as the last ladle was being scraped from the bottom of the pot, someone said, "what kind of meat is this?" They all thought it was beef!
