What's For Dinner - Internationally

[GloryB]

I'm going to try the coconut pie this weekend. Not sure about how to even BUY rabbit meat anywhere. I guess I would have to befriend some unsuspecting hunter.

I have a couple of recipes I'll post tomorrow.

throw in two fat rabbits quartered.

I assume you clean them first? Also, what are swedes?

Swedes are a yellow turnip.

Just follow the instructions to the letter Jon-Marc, assume nothing.

Sorry, I hit Edit again instead of Quote.

I guess that means quarter the whole rabbit. Just cut it down the middle and cut those two halves in half. That would be an interesting dish.

That's strange, Lambsy. It attributed what you said to me.

As with all things, the skin is the best part.

Just kidding mate, gut and skin rabbit, then clean it up and quarter it. I generally cut hind legs off at hip, then chop between hind legs with the cleaver.



A quick way to skin a fresh warm rabbit in the field. Grab hind legs and pinch the heels until the skin pulls away from the legs. Then get a good grip of the skin in your left hand, and the hind legs in your right hand, then pull the skin off the whole rabbit. The skin should come off like a sock inside out down to the head. Then chop the head off and the skin and the head will be removed together.

This can only be done if the rabbit is freshly dead, because the skin is hard to remove if the animal is cold. You may need a knife to remove the skin if the animal is cold.

Hold animal belly up in your left hand and make a very shallow cut up the centre of the belly. Do not cut deep, or you will pierce the intestines.
Then holding the rabbit by the back flick the gut out to the ground, the gut should fall straight out whole. Then pull out the heart lungs with your fingers, clean the meat in running water, and what you should have is a fresh skun rabbit.



I can do this very fast because of so much practice. Infact I've been known to skin and cook rabbits in my sleep.
