I'm not a big rabbit hunter. I've only cooked it a few times.

A friend is giving me 5 cleaned rabbits he killed this week - vacuum sealed. No head.

I've only ever made a stew. Browned the rabbit and removed them. Browned seasoning. Made a roux. Added rabbit and liquid. Took the rabbit out after a few hours and deboned. Put it back for awhile.

Served over rice.

Give me some new ideas please.

Tia.

Fried is the way to go???

Sheeeet.

I can do that.

Debone it before I soak it? Or soak them whole?

I'm going to do both.

These are going to be vac sealed. I honestly can't tell young from old.

I'll ask the old timer that's giving them to me.

He's got 10 dogs that he says "will catch the rabbits and he doesn't have to shoot them."

Forget the roux. Just smother those bad boys until the meat starts to fall off the bone. Mmmmmmmmm.

We fry cottontails. Swamp rabbits are bigger, tougher, and stronger tasting ... They are cooked n gravy around here. Good luck.

I've only killed one rabbit in my entire life (cotton tail). All I know is that my dad cooked it in a skillet and to this day that is the most delicious meat I've ever tasted. I don't know how he prepared or cooked it other than in a skillet.

I had some rabbit about a year ago that was killed in the delta by a coworker and it was nothing like I remebered that cottontail tasting, this was more greasy and gamy tasting.

That's my CSB I guess...if you cook the right kind of rabbit the right way then it's pretty tough to beat

Cottontail rabbit is one of the best tasting wild game to be found.

I like it lightly seasoned and fried.
