Thread: Rabbit and Cider Casserole

Rabbit gets a bad press and they are often shot and left where they fall. Try this easy and quick but delicious recipe instead.

Ingredients:

1 jointed rabbit on the bone
1 or 2 large onions
1 clove of garlic
1 table spoon flour
Olive oil
1 table spoon Dijon mustard
1 litre of cider or apple juice
2 or 3 apples sliced into wedges.
Salt, pepper

Method:

Roll the rabbit joints in the flour salt and pepper
Brown joints in a large casserole dish or pan with a lid and set aside
Fry onions and garlic until translucent
Add rabbit joints back to the pan with onions
Add the mustard and cider and deglaze the pan
Simmer for 30 mins lid on
Add apples and simmer for another 10 minutes lid off
Rabbit should be falling off the bone
Remove the rabbit and apples and reduce the gravy
Serve with crust bread and cider

No photographs I’m afraid, but it’s bloody good.

Cheers
