There here some lovely rabbits in my local butcher this week , so im gona buy some next week. I plan on chopping them up into small portions bones in and cooking them all day in my slow cooker.
Having checked out a few recipes im not sure if to use ,Red wine, white wine or cider ?
What do you prefer cooking your rabbit in? im kinda swaying to using some cider in it.
-
How much are they in your butchers MoreWhisky? I pay £1. 80 from the butchers but sometimes we find a couple tied to the gate :happy:
-
£2 each Spana, im going to buy 2 i think the price is ok ish.
-
They are good value, and lots of meat.
-
I'm lucky as I get mine for free but the butcher in the next town from me charges £5.50. You can thank all these Celebrity Chefs for making the prices go out the roof. All the cheap cuts of meat & what I think is the best cuts have now become silly prices.
Three years ago the butchers had a job to give it away. :tongue2:
Oxtail is £9-11 in my local butchers. :ohmy:
Sorry rant over.

I cook mine slowly in onions, tinned chopped tomatoes, herbs and just a touch on Worcester sauce. A really economical meal because they just cost about £1.50 each.

Rabbit is a pale meat and unless you're cooking very long and very slow I'd use white wine instead of read for aesthetic reasons.
There is a version of Paella made with rabbit and snails if you're looking for something different. Hedgerow snails are fine - just feed them on potatoes for a week then starve them for a couple of days to get rid of any grit.
A 'celebrity chef' showed this on the TV recently (forget who), but there are enough recipes on the internet.

If the £5.50 is for a wild rabbit it is extortionate , a farmed rabbit would have twice the meat (but not the taste) and still be a good buy.
Oxtail stew used to be a cheap favourite winter meal as was roast belly pork and beans.
Not so cheap now!

My dad used to make a lovely rabbit stew and i do much the same now altho I cant quite get the flavour he managed to get. ::)
He soaked the rabbit in milk for a couple of hours but only used water for the stew with plenty of onions, carrots and herbs. At the end of cooking he mixed cornflour with the milk the rabbit was soaked in and stirred that in to make it creamy and thicken it. I like to put dumplings as well :happy:
Most rabbit recipes say brown the meat first but he didn't.
I hope the price doesn't go up here, my little terrier has a raw diet and rabbit is her favourite :)

Cider or white wine MW. ;)
-
I always prefer the alcohol in a glass with the meal . :)
Not a wine sauce/gravy fan.

I was looking in my butcher's shop the other day and they were - wait for it - the equivalent of £15 each :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: Guess how many I bought? Yep, spot on.
-
WHAT :ohmy: were they wearing mink coats :lol:

It has got to be cider and the rougher the better! Thatcher's make a strong cider we, at the pub call Wacky cider. Don't know the real name I've been in the kennet and Avon canal after three pints ! ! ! :ohmy: Don't forget, lots of carrots. Cheers, Tony
