Apple glazed rabbit. Taste = Delicious!

[ChefDB]

The taste of rabbit is very good. I added some of my special seasonings and then some tarragon and covered it in slices of apple so the juices from the baking apples would form a nice glaze.

I had someone who refused to eat when they saw it raw it, test a tiny sample and after that, I was asked to plate the rabbit and sides for them. .

The end result looks delicious. I might have a bite or two as well! The first two pictures kinda scare me.

haha, Yes. I do agree that seeing it in the pre-cooked stage is a little disheartening.

Yeah, the one doing push ups is kinda creepy.

My first thought was that that bunny was awfully pale. But, I have never cooked rabbit, only snowshoe hare (and we left the leg below the knee on).

Recipe, please.

 

[ChefDB]

Thoroughly rinse the whole rabbit

I put olive oil in the bottom of the glass dish and sprinkled sea salt, thyme and tarragon on top of that (to season the bottom of the rabbit)

Season to taste...
I used sea salt, a tsp of curry powder sprinkled on top of the rabbit, thyme, tarragon and the apple slices did the rest of the seasoning.

Bake @ 375 for 1.5 hours covered with foil.

Uncover after 1.5 hours and turn oven down to 350.00 for 20 minutes.

The taste of the apples was amazing. I was not going to serve them with the rabbit until I tasted them and the combo was a hit.

Love the idea of using apple. Did you use dessert or cooking apples or does it matter?
I'll try that anyway.

I just used the "red delicious" apples since they are sweet.

Talk about serendipity I received two rabbits this morning in my organic farms veg and meat box. I was going to joint them both, but that recipe of yours looks so good I am going to keep it whole. Apples are definitely on my shopping list. Thank you for posting your recipe.

 

[ChefDB]

Great! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Take pictures if you can!

Hi ChwfDB, I'll try to take pictures, not very good at it, either the taking or the transferring to the web. I'll give it my best shot though. Thanks again for posting your recipe

I was just re-reading my posts. Sorry for the spelling mistakes/double words. I was posting from my blackberry, so you know how those little keyboards cause errors!

That looks really nice Chef
