Frequently asked questions

How do I keep rabbit from drying out?

Baste it with stock or white wine, cover it, and cook it slowly. Bacon, butter, or cream protect the lean meat and keep it juicy — watch the legs so you don't overcook them.

How long does rabbit take to cook?

A whole rabbit cut into portions needs about an hour and a half at a moderate heat, covered and basted. It's done when the meat pulls easily off the bone.

What do you serve with rabbit?

Potato dumplings, spinach, or braised carrots are classic; a cream sauce also loves bread dumplings or potatoes. Garlic, thyme, and rosemary lift the flavor.
