Lemon Pepper Rabbit Recipes

BRAISED RABBIT

My husband and I do a lot of hunting, and we eat more wild game than domestic meat. I like to create my own rabbit recipes and this one makes such tender meat with a tangy, light sauce. I like to serve it with baked potatoes and steamed broccoli. -Dawn Bryant, North Platte, Nebraska
