Rabbit over open fire

[nomadcelt]

All,

what is the best way to cook freshly despatched and prepared rabbit over an open fire? Should I let it hang overnight before trying? Should I cook as soon as prepared?

many thanks,

NC

Either or, I don't think it makes much difference.

I've skewered most of them whilst they've still been warm and I've also ahd a few which have been brought in from previous kills.

I find they are best cooked in liquid tho' as spit roasting makes them a bit dry.

Stew it with some herbs, bit of smoked bacon, rabbit is poor flavour on its own.

Stewed with lots of onions and sherry is also good....

Fry the onions first to get the sugars and colour out, add the sherry near the end (don't spare the horses!)

Pan fried with lots of onions, garlic and Welsh butter (Welsh butter is saltier than most others - a historical anomally) - delish!

Thats cos the Welsh are 'Salty' John....

May I suggest the addition of some tasty muchrooms to the pan!

Bloomin' delicious, maybe even a splash of red wine!
