Fried Rabbit Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place the rabbit in a zip-lock bag with the buttermilk, onion, garlic (minced), oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and 1 tsp of cayenne. Marinate overnight in fridge.
• 2. In another zip-lock bag mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, 2 tsp cayenne pepper, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat 2-3 cups of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• 3. Drain the rabbit from the buttermilk. Toss pieces into the flour mixture and shake until well coated. Add the rabbit to the skillet and fry for 10 minutes until golden brown on each side. Be careful to keep the oil hot enough to fry the rabbit, but not so that it burns. When done place on wire rack to drain excess oil.

Steps:

• Put the rabbit pieces in a mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper and Tabasco. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Drain the rabbit pieces but do not pat dry. Put the flour and the remaining 2 teaspoons of pepper in a brown paper bag and add the rabbit pieces. Shake well to coat thoroughly. Shake each piece to remove excess flour.
• Heat the oil in skillet or deep-fryer to 375 degrees. Add the rabbit pieces, one at a time, to the oil. Cook until the pieces are crisp and well-browned. Drain.

Steps:

• 1. If rabbit meat is not fresh (has been previously frozen and thawed), boil for 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

• 3. Heat oil in skillet on medium. Make sure oil is deep enough to cover rabbit halfway .
• 4. Cover skillet and fry slowly on each side to let brown and juices run clear.
• 5. Remove from oil and place on plate lined with paper towels to let drain.

Steps:

• Wash dressed rabbit with water and cut into serving pieces.
• Combine eggs and one cup of the milk; add one cup flour gradually, then salt and beat until smooth.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and have ready a large baking tray with a wire rack placed over it. Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan (or use a deep-fat fryer) until the oil reaches 140C. Meanwhile, put the flour on a plate and season. Mix the Parmesan and breadcrumbs on another, and beat the eggs in a bowl.
• Coat a piece of rabbit in flour, tap off the excess, then dunk into the beaten egg. Drain off, then coat in the crumbs. Repeat with a couple more pieces. Lower into the fat and fry for about 12 mins for larger pieces, 9 mins for smaller, until deep golden and cooked through. Don't overcrowd the pan as this can cause the temperature of the oil to drop. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on the rack in the oven while you do the next batch. Never leave the pan unattended.
