When I was a child my Uncle Dee used to raise rabbits for sale. Someone gave him this recipe, suggesting he hand it out to his customers. He did, but I doubt he ever tried it himself, being more of a shake-and-bake man. I had never tasted it myself, until I grew up, and, learning to cook as a newlywed, became interested in every recipe I could get. Then I learned what I had missed out on all these years - it really is quite good!

How To Make rabbit w/ delicious sauce

Step 1

Combine salt and pepper to taste with flour, about 2 cups. Coat rabbit pieces, shaking off excess.

Step 2

Melt butter in a dutch oven or flame-proof casserole. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic. Add rabbit pieces and lightly brown. Remove garlic.
Step 3

Mix beef broth with wine, thyme and bay leaves. Pour over rabbit.
Step 4

You can either bake this at 350 degrees for about 1 and 1/2 hours, or simmer slowly stovetop for 1 and 1/2 hours. Start checking after an hour, and remove when rabbit is very tender.
Step 5

Place rabbit on heated serving platter. Stir sauce ingredients into broth in pan. Cook and stir just until sauce begins to simmer. Spoon over rabbit. Mmmm good!
