Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Haven't followed a recipe here. Just done my own thing. Not a clue what it's going to be like. First I fried up 2 rashers of streaky bacon, a red onion and plenty of garlic in a knob of butter and then added a good glass of white wine a chicken stock cube and reduced down... Then I prepared my veg in the roasting tin. Baby new potatoes, baby carrots, red onion and plenty of garlic. The rabbits have been soaking in salt water overnight. So I washed them and placed them on top of the veg. Gave the rabbit and veg a good half bottle of white wine, salt and pepper, rosemary and thyme, couple of bay leaves. Poured over a cup of chicken stock and topped with the fried bacon, onions and garlic from earlier... Then I placed rashers of streaky bacon over the top and now it's in the oven... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 It's almost done now boys. Done it nice and slow with foil on. Just took the foil off to crisp the bacon and drained most of the juice off to make gravy. Couple of cheeky beers while I wait Jim, I'm on lates next week but will come over the week after for a brace of pheasant. I reckon this recipe with pheasant would be delicious aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R.A.W 1,987 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 looks good . Have you tried keeping the rabbit separate from the Mediterranean veggies. Joint the rabbit chuck in a casserole dish with the wine that hasn't been reduce that the way the extra fluid helps to keep the meat moist and tender while it cooks .......... I always cover my roasted rabbit with bacon too mate Rosemary is a must too. That's it I'm off to the KItchen 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Finished item... Absolutely gorgeous that was. Devoured the lot. Veggies were cooked to perfection. Served with grean beans aswell as the potatoes and carrots. I drained the juice off half an hour before the end of cooking and added some cornflour to thicken. The missus loved it and my 4 year old girl had just devoured the liver and kidneys with me. Haha. I've never hung it before but will give it a try for sure. And R.A.W that sounds good mate will try that one time 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
