Same here,'cept it was my Granny,she could cook anything and it was to die for!Women would come over all the time for"cooking lessons".The lady we got our goat from raises them and a dozen other types of birds.Her place looks like Noah lives there:)Have a great weekend!
@DixieGirl9876 My Dad was an avid hunter and fisherman and you know what I miss?? Pheasant and Partridge (especially partridge!)! Oh, my Mom would cook those two gamebirds up in a milk gravy that was just to die for. I've often thought about raising pheasants because of those fond, culinary memories. . . but I doubt I could cook them as well as my Mom did.
Next time try roasting the rabbit rapped in bacon while laying the meats on top of a metal grill, so the liquids will drain below and the meat will not be in the liquid. For less dry meat also try to cover the whole thing in aluminum foil.
@StraightEdgePrepper How many litters(?) do you get in a year off of a pair? I am curious and would like to follow in the footsteps and raise them for meat as well.
looks yummy will def have to try this.....we are about to do our first harvest in a couple of weeks...yayyy...i have a quick questions if you don't mind me asking what kind of software do you edit your videos with? i have several videos made but i'm not sure about what software to download...thanks
Oh my your girl is so beautiful! IT looks so good! Thank you for posting I just started my tiny rabbit breeding for food project and am always looking for recipes :) I love your table & how cozy everyone seems :)
Thanks. That looked really tasty. I plan to raise city rabbits down here in Detroit. Believe it or not we actually have quite a few rabbits and pheasants running free. Lots of open spaces. and lots of vacant lots too :(. Many of our neighbors have embraced kitchen gardens, urban farming and some even raise small game. I've never done any of that before. Somehow seeing that meals gives me the perfect motivation.
i've just moved to a very small town w/a local grocery. they even had all the ingredients to make my own laundry detergent so i'll bet they have rabbit. thanks, that looks delicious!!!
That was a great idea. I just watched something last week that said you shouldn't depend just on just rabbit meat for your protein because rabbit meat has no fat.And your body needs some fat so adding that rabbit meat should work out just right. :)
The very 1st meat rabbit I ever bought, the old timer told me this was the best way to cook one. I am partial to my Elmer Fudd Bugs Bunny Stew but this is a very close second if not a tie.
it looks mouthwatering... it really looks delicious [never tried rabbit, but i heard it taste like chicken-pork?] ... don't see it in our market often, next time i see one in our s.m. i will try this recipe but will wrap it in banana leaves for added flavor. Thanks 4 sharing.
HAHAHAHA Awsome Video, Im Going To Try It Sometime, Really A Great Thing To Know When Times Get Tough, I Have Had Rabbit Before And Its Very Good Teacher LOL
I always forget about the tv show, lol! I watched it when I was little, but now I read and reread the books so much, they blocked out the horrible Mrs. Olson, mostly. In On the Shores of Silver Lake, Mrs. Boast tells everyone at Christmas dinner that that's why the rabbit is so good, because Ma wraps slices of salt pork around it, lol. I'm enjoying watching your videos this evening, thanks for posting!
@MrDieselOnly The way kids can't write nor spell a coherent sentence nowadays due to the texting plague is one of my pet peeves. And forget about most of them knowing where their food comes from. There are a few exceptions out there -- mostly homeschooled on homesteads, but the vast majority -- Oy. . . .; )
If you'd flipped the meat over half way during the cooking process, do you think that the bacon would have been crispy-ish on the "bottom" side of the roast? It looked heavenly all the same!
@edenjill OOOOH! Why didn't I think of doing flipping it halfway through, especially as I was peeking at it about every 15 minutes!?!?!? Brilliant!!! Definitely going to do that next time. Thanks so much for the idea!
I've not cooked rabbit but 350 degrees x 1.5 hours seems pretty long. Did you use a meat thermometer or other test for doneness? Is there a reason not to cover over covering? I'd think it would help hold in moisture to cover and then possible uncover for the last 10-15 min. This way the bacon might not dry out so much.
@BonnieBlue2A -- I know! An hour and a half was a long time. I kept checking it after an hour and it just didn't seem done. These rabbits were large, however -- probably pushing 6 lbs. for the whole carcass. No, didn't use a meat thermometer -- good idea. I didn't cover it because I wanted the bacon to get crispy. I usually roast rabbit in an oven bag (like for turkey). We didn't notice the bacon being too dry this way.
@TheCajuntransplant Well thank you. They're good eaters (not too picky, like veges, serious carnivores) so fun to feed. Unfortunately, the oldest just saw this comment and she is grinning like the cat that swallowed the canary -- thinking she is "precious". ; )
