Rabbit

Rabbit recipes have been around for centuries and are enjoyed by people all over the world. Rabbit is a lean, healthy meat that is high in protein and low in fat. Rabbit is also a good source of iron and B vitamins.

Rabbit was likely first domesticated in ancient China. The first recorded recipe for rabbit was in the 11th century Chinese text, "Qi Min Yao Shu." This book contained a recipe for braised rabbit with onions and ginger.

The popularity of rabbit dishes spread to Europe during the Middle Ages. Rabbit was commonly eaten by the poor as it was a cheap and readily available meat. However, it was also enjoyed by the wealthy as a delicacy.

Advice

stew

When it comes to making rabbit stew, it is important to start off by properly cleaning and preparing the rabbit. After the rabbit has been washed, you should season it with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you prefer. Then, you should brown the rabbit in a large pot with some oil, and add in some vegetables like carrots and potatoes. Once the vegetables are cooked, add in the rabbit pieces and a few cups of chicken stock or water, and let the stew simmer until the rabbit is cooked through. Lastly, add in your favorite seasonings and serve the stew hot, with a side of crusty bread.
