This video brings me back to when I was a little girl and it was my first time in Mexico. My grandpa shot a rabbit in the forest and we had rabbit soup for dinner. Wish I could go back to visit him and ride his horse while picking berries and hunting with him.

This was your 1st. Jack, I can promise you it tastes good because you cooked it right but mostly it was a young Jack. Stay away from old ones with spit years and check it's liver for a clean solid red. I've been eating Jack's for over a decade. Great video I'm going to try your recipe on my next hunt.

Favorite recipe by far would be Rabbit Frickacee like my great grandmother used to make . When my uncles would go hunting for Rabbit 🐇 they would bring several back Recipe called for 3 large jacks or 4 medium. Clean and rinse rabbits then chunk them up and par boil them to soften them Drain in a colander pat dry , salt and pepper the pieces then dip into a cup and a half of buttermilk mixed with two eggs add hot sauce and cayenne if you like it spicy. Dredge in flour and spice mixture to coat the Rabbit well and set pieces off to the side to rest while you cut up two large onions into thin rings place the onions in a pan with bacon grease to soften and caramelize. Fill a deep pan with crisco ( blue can ) About three inches deep. Fry rabbit until evenly brown and drain on paper towels. After frying the Rabbit pour off the grease but keep about four table spoons of the grease in the bottom of the pan . Add all purpose flour to make a slurry and cook it till it just turns tan then put onions into slurry mix well ans season with salt and pepper to taste. Then pour enough milk in mixture to thin it out and stir it constantly scraping the bottom so it doesn't burn . Keep adding milk if it thickens too much. (Cold milk won't lump up the gravy) when the gravy is to your liking put fried Rabbit in a large casserole dish and cover it with the gravy and onion mixture. Cover with aluminum foil or a glass lid and bake it at 375 f for about 35 min . Make garlic bread or cheese Texas toast and serve with fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, corn on the cob ,and mixed greens of your choice. I like turnip greens 😋. Cold beverage of your choice would work but traditionally we had hot coffee with it. Man o man what a feast .

We took down a jack rabbit and marinated the back straps over night. Then we cooked them on a makeshift rock stove since we forgot the grill. Then we put it in between two pieces of cheese bread that we toasted on the rock. Added some veggies and bbq sauce and went for it 😎🤙

That looks truly amazing. I'll have to try it. My favorite rabbit recipe is very similar to your recipe, rabbit and andoullie gumbo. Instead of using potatoes I make a roux with flour and peanut oil and saute the onion, celery and peppers (Cajun Holy Trinity) in the roux separately. The roux thickens the stock wonderfully when you combine it. I also quarter up the rabbit and brown the meat in bacon drippings before adding the stock to boil it, so you kinda cook it twice and it breaks down the texture perfectly. Add the meat and stock to the roux and you are in business! Let it simmer low and slow until the meat is falling off the bone. Sometimes I add Rotelle tomatoes because I like them so much. I used to raise rabbits for meat and I love rabbit!

They are so tough that it’s like chewing on leather plus they taste like the sagebrush they live in. I have always wondered if stewing the hell out of them might work. Nice to see you cooking one up to see how that goes.
