Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're looking at a hands-off slow cooker dish where rabbit legs become wonderfully tender over 7 hours of gentle cooking. The key is keeping seasoning light at first (slow cooking intensifies flavors) and then building a luxurious creamy sauce by blending the cooked vegetables with cream and butter at the end.

Season lightly

Rinse the rabbit legs and pat them dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Why lightly? Slow cooking preserves so much more flavour, so you don't need to add as much salt and seasoning as usual.

Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut them into rounds or batons. Peel the onion and cut into eighths. Peel the garlic. Cut the bacon into small cubes, or slice rasher bacon into smaller pieces.

Set to low

Cover the slow cooker with the lid. My slow cooker has a choice of high or low setting. Choose the low setting and set it for 7 hours. In this time the rabbit will be perfectly cooked and delicious!

Tip:

It's ideal to start the rabbit cooking before you go to bed, so it's ready and waiting for you in the morning.

Simmer with cream

Take the cooked meat out of the slow cooker. In a regular saucepan on the stove, melt the butter. Stir in the plain flour and pour in both types of cream. Simmer together for ten minutes.

About this recipe

By now our slow cooker has already given us a fantastic turkey stock, and I used the meat from the turkey legs for a wonderful autumn dish - you'll find the recipe here. Before that, I made beef chunks with vegetables in the slow cooker - that recipe is coming up too. And absolutely amazing were the rabbit legs, so here's the recipe for those.
