The common question has been asked over and over again… how many chickens can cross the road…Well I’m asking you how many rabbits can cross the road before I pull over and kill, clean and cook that bad boy.
In my house rabbit is a nice part of our diet…I mean it would since my grandmother from the south. One of my favorite dishes of hers is smothered rabbit with onions and mushroom and I decided to share it with you guys. this dish is good for a family of 4. The prep time is about 15 min and it’s real easy to make.
8 pieces of rabbit thighs and legs cleaned Salt and pepper (black or white) 1 big onion cut thinly 8 mushrooms cut in quarters 2 tablespoon of flour 2 cups of water 2 tablespoons of olive oil Extra flour to dredge rabbit- In pan add olive oil and put under high heat
- Season rabbit with salt and pepper liberally and dredge in flour.
- When pan is hot add rabbit to pan cook until slightly brown.
- Take rabbit out add rest of flour and make a light brown roux.
- Add water to pan and rabbit and bring pan to boil.
- Turn heat on low and add onions and mushrooms.
- Season if needed.
- Turn off heat when rabbit is tender and sauce is to gravy consistency.
