We made our own BBQ sauce and cut him up for grilling. It took about an hour (so dinner was late, surprising, right?) then he was served up with fried apples and couscous. The rabbit was very good and did taste a lot like chicken. It is slightly more game-y and the flesh is a little meatier. I wish we had not used the BBQ sauce on all the meat so more flavor of Rabbit could come through. All in all very tasty! We also tried some new beers from Gouden Carolus. New to us anyway, Dad found a great beer store in Anchorage that is now permanently on our shopping list.
After cutting as much as we could from the back and ribs, those still meaty bits were tossed in a pot with some pintos to make "hare beans" those were part of supper last night along with grilled pork chops.
What's your bunny source? Interesting that they sell the complete rabbit, fur and all. Was skinning it tricky?
ReplyDeleteBunny was harvested from a friends farm....murdered and skinned by Kyle. Not so hard to do, just hard to keep all the fluffy bunny fur off of the meat. There are some more ready soon too, yum!
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely eating local, good one on that! I'm glad it was an enjoyable new experience. It can be nice to get outside the box sometimes.
