    Rabbit Recipes

    About

    Rabbits are my favorite small game animal and I served them as often as possible in my restaurants-especially on Easter. I've learned to make many things with them over the years. Here's a some basic info on them, and a few of my favorite recipes.

    Basic Cooking Info

    You either have to cook it low and slow in a braise, as with my Rabbit Chasseur with Mushrooms, or quickly, as with Buttermilk Fried Rabbit.

    For quick preparations, rabbit should be cooked to an internal temperature of about 145 F-similar to pork.

    Saddles

    Rabbit saddles are an under-used cut, and I like to save them when I can. It requires some patience, but done correctly you can de-bone an entire rabbit or just the saddle and stuff it for an impressive entree.

    Offal

    Rabbits have some of the mildest, tastiest hearts, livers and kidneys I've cooked, and I love them sauteed and tossed with a simple Tuscan Fettuccine with Giblets.
