  1. Extremely tasty recipe. I did rabbit before and was very unsatisfied thinking that rabbitmeat is just not tender. But no, not when it has been soaked in tasty redwine overnight. Try it! You'll love it!
     
  2. Delicious method of preparing rabbit. Quite simple for anyone short on prep time too. Since I served it to my toddler, I omitted the salt until after it was served, then added fleur du sel on the adult plates only. My little one thoroughly enjoys rabbit, and this version was a hit too. I also baked it with additional sprigs of rosemary. Yes, we had a tiny amount of leftovers, and the flavors certainly intensified over a few days in the fridge.
     
  3. This was the first time i have had rabbit and it was amazing. The prunes were a nice touch and the recipe was fairly easy. Rabbits Rule!
