Rabbit meat can be really tasty. How about trying a simple rabbit stew with some veggies and herbs? It's super flavorful and easy to make. Just brown the meat, and add in your favorite veggies, some broth, and seasonings. Simmer until it's tender and enjoy! Also, I recently tried adding mushroom powders to this dish, which gave it a special piquancy. I just like to experiment with different tastes, and I thought it was quite interesting. You can get creative and customize your recipe to your liking!

I'm going to debone, soft freeze, and run a few through the grinder with bacon this winter to make rabbit bacon burger. I'm guessing it will be pretty good but we will see.

Well, I can't help ya there ; but if you can tolerate the peas, it's a mighty tasty way to prepare a bunny.

I don't have any problem with peas, they are good especially with bacon bits and onions.....yum! Dad just wouldn't eat them.

I am not sure it is possible to make rabbit delicious. but it'll make a turd.

Rabbit is one of my favorite foods.
Fried rabbit, biscuits, mashed potatoes and white gravy would be in my top three "last meal" choices.
Somebody must be cooking it wrong?

Yup.
Rabbit is sweeter than chicken. Roasted is a delicacy. Made this way, my favorite “cut” is the “flank steak”.

This is a classic way to prepare rabbit meat. Cut the rabbit into pieces and brown them in a pot with some oil. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are soft. Add some broth or wine, season with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary, and simmer until the meat is tender. You can adapt the recipe I described for other meat dishes you are about to prepare.
