Is this rabbit safe to eatMy dog caught a rabbit in my local woods, it has a little crusting around the eyes suggesting that Myxi is coming back (thank god we are overrun with the beggars). Is this rabbit safe to eat? I paunched it about an hour after catching and it doesn't look too unappetising. Anybody got any ideas? |

As Madness would say " Don't do that ! Do this .  "
The other night my son went out with the air rifle and potted two nice young rabbits using the lamp. Tonight I'm going to prepare a nice recipe of marinated rabbit with apples. You need the following for the marinade. One sliced onion one sliced carrot two sprigs of parsley one bay leaf salt and pepper thyme quarter of a pint of white wine. one tbs of olive oil. The main dish One rabbit 2 tbs of butter three green apples, sliced and cored. three sliced onions half a pint of cream or creme fraiche juice of half a lemon. You do Combine all the marinade ingredients. Cut the rabbits into pieces and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Dry the rabbit pieces and brown lightly in the butter. Remove and add the apples and onions and cook for a few minutes. Put the rabbit back into the pan and add the cream. Cover and cook very slowly on the hob for about one and a half or until tender. Remove the meat and keep warm. Put the sauce through a liquidiser with the lemon juice. Reheat the sauce and pour over the rabbit. Tonight I'm going to cut up the rabbit and marinate it. Take one young bunny 
and cut it into pieces 
put the pieces in a large bowl 
and add all the ingredients for the marinade 
add a free plug for the hand carved oak spoon from fish 
and leave overnight in the fridge before step 2 tomorrow night 
Step two, is cook the rabbit. Its a bit of a mystery but in following the recipe you do nothing but throw the marinade away. It seems like a bit of a waste to us 
Pictures to follow. The finished article was well worth the wait. Here are a few pictures of it while cooking. The resulting sauce was nice and fruity.
Before it was cooked. 
After an hour and half of gentle simmering. 
The apples, onions and cream were liquidised and formed the sauce. 
The finished article. Well worth the effort and one that I would do again.
