I like venison also. I made some venison jerky just recently. Maybe I do like gamy then. I prefer the taste of anything that isnt "store bought". Wild meat has a more fresh flavor to it.

I agree,and it doesnt have all the drugs they pump into meat nowdays

Yes no hormones. My rabbits only eats greens and grains. I buy that organic pelleted food for them. Its more expensive but they seem to enjoy it.

rabbit is one of my favorite all time meats! i like it slow cooked stew style in a pot.

Kirk that sound good, could you give us more detail?

My rabbit stew another great recipes for you If the coconut one I gave you isnt your bag hehehee

3 pounds rabbit meat, cleaned and cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup water
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon currant jelly
10 black peppercorns, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Sprinkle rabbit with salt and coat with 1/3 cup flour, shaking off excess. Brown rabbit in remaining bacon fat. Remove from skillet, along with all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, and reserve.
Saute shallots and garlic in skillet for about 4 minutes, until tender. Stir in wine, 1 cup water and bouillon. Heat to boiling, then stir in jelly, peppercorns, bay leaf, rosemary and thyme. Return rabbit and bacon to skillet. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer about 1 1/2 hours or until rabbit is tender.
Remove bay leaf and discard. Place rabbit on a warm platter and keep warm while preparing gravy.
To Make Gravy: Stir lemon juice into skillet with cooking liquid. Combine 3 tablespoons water with 2 tablespoons flour and mix together; stir mixture into skillet over low heat. Finally, stir in thyme. Pour gravy over stew and serve, or pour into a gravy boat and serve on the side.

That sounds good also. No I love coconut and I use it sometimes when I cook Thai food. No problems there. Like I said, i have nine frozen rabbits in my freezer so I will try these recipes one at a time. I printed them. I bet the coconut milk helps to keep the meat tender as rabbit can dry out easily.

so what is a good easy recipe for those of us with limited cooking abilities?

This one was mentioned by another person as being more simple. You can also slow simmer rabbit in a crock pot. Yumm.

hhmmm,that does sound good,and easy..lol

Take quarters and coat with flour, frie until brown. Add 1 cup of marinade to skillet (wth onions and allspice), simmer until a nice brown thick gravy. Delicious.
