Hephaestus Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 While in a market the other day I saw this fresh rabbit. I decided to get it and give it a try on the rotisserie. We applied a wet paste and added cherry chips for some extra flavour. We found the meat very tender. If anything I would have used less wood chips. The smoke flavour was a little overwhelming. Have a look. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Awesome cook. I've done rabbit a few times but never rotisserie. I've even made traditional Brunswick Stew with rabbit. Nice to see someone else doing a rabbit cook. Unfortunately the butcher where I've bought rabbit in the past has gone out of business.

BIGSHEP Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I have never had rabbit on the rotisserie, but fried and smothered in gravy is the way I'm used to having it. I will have to try it this way. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will give fry a try someday. Do you fry it in a pan or deep frier? Edited July 7, 2018 by Hephaestus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I season them up dip in flower place them in a frying pan and brown them on both sides. Drain grease off and smother them in gravy and finish cooking them in a pan.

BIGSHEP Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Have you ever smothered pork chops in gravy and cooked them in a pan? If so you do it the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 That's how I grew up eating it - pan fried with gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly have done pork chops in gravy before. We will give rabbit a try. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Very unique display of heat deflector going on there. Many years ago I use to go to a live poultry and rabbit shop of Portuguese ownership. I'd order say'a 5lb. rabbit and the proprietor would grab the rabbit from the cage and before he turned the corner from the public store he would hit the rabbit on the head with a small club. Old country in the new country but, at the time it was acceptable. However, the image has never left my mind. Sorry to disturb you, but aside from this I have always favored the German preparation with of rabbit with potatoes and sour cream. The Portuguese have spices that compliment this game as well. Spinning the rabbit as you did looked well done as to say good show. In the pot or not I think the game is somehow overlooked and forgotten, thanks for bringing it to the forefront, I will endeavor to look for it again,.....preferably wrapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
