Good Rabbit Recipes?

[let'sshoot 11]

Any good tips on getting the silver skin off? Do you soak the rabbit in salt water at all? Is so, for how long? If not, why not?

 

I usually sit them in saltwater overnight, then put in clean water, boil for 2+ hours, take meat off the bone, then make a curry or stew. Trouble is, the smell of them boiling puts me off eating the darn thing!! Also before the boiling malarkey, there just seems to be so much silver skin, it actually turns my stomach.

 

Any top tips greatly appreciated, I'm sure there are better ways to enjoy rabbit than the way I attempt it.

 

I read somewhere about rabbit + chorizo burgers, sounds good if I could get past the silver skin - don't fancy that in my burgers. I have a mincer.

 

Also are there any flavours in particular which work very well with rabbit? Any particular herb/spices/flavours I should concentrate on?

 

Thanks in advance

Any top tips, before I go on an early morning walk?

How to remove the silver skin? Soak or not to soak?

Thanks

Depends if it's a stringy old buck or or not. For the most part soaking isn't really necessary and if it is it's probably better off as dog/ferret food anyway. Any slow cooked recipe will do but try to either add some fat ie bacon lardons and maybe something sweet like apricots. Rabbit casseroled in cider, apricots and cream is fool proof. BBQ wise do yourself a cavor and stick to the tender ones - basically if it balls, smells funky and is it's a f****r to skin.... Dont BBQ it! As for silver skin, ignore it, if it's skinned properly in the first place there's not much more you can do.
