A slow cooked rabbit stew

Rabbit is free range, available almost everywhere and delicious. It’s a very lean meat, which means it is prone to drying out, but whether you choose a faster recipe involving cuts of rabbit or decide to cook the meat more slowly, these rabbit recipes will help you keep the meat moist. Always remember that wild is best; farmed rabbits lack the depth of flavour that makes this such a tasty game meat.

You can cook rabbits in a pie, over with sauce, slow cook in a casserole or roast over a barbecue. It’s a very versatile meat.

Here are some delicious rabbit recipes to try out when you’re back from a spot of walked-up shooting with a brace for the pot.
