New Year's bunny for the new year - 11 cooking recipes

If you have a good recipe for cooking rabbit for the New Year, it’s not difficult to repeat it. Even if these are instructions from a world-famous chef. The most difficult thing here, perhaps, will be the selection of suitable products: many chefs like to add not the cheapest ingredients to their dishes, like expensive cognac or wine. But even with this you can find a budget alternative if you wish.

Most often, rabbit dishes are stewed - in this form, its meat reveals all its positive qualities. It becomes tender, soft, tasty. Since rabbit meat is considered a dietary product, it is rarely fried. Yes, and baked it is good only with sauce. For stewing, you can take a saucepan, a saucepan with a thick bottom, or a slow cooker. You can stew it in sour cream, cream, milk, wine. The meat is cut into portions convenient for a regular plate.

Rabbit goes well with mushrooms in one dish. For example, with champignons, boletus, chanterelles. Among the usual ingredients included: carrots, onions, garlic, salt and spices. The sauce is made from any dairy product: sour cream, butter. And based on dry red wine. The dish is served with most side dishes or as a separate dish, with salads and appetizers.

Oven-baked rabbit is good in honey-mustard marinade. It gives the carcass an appetizing golden crust. In general, it is always recommended to lightly fry the meat before cooking further - the juices are thus “sealed” inside, and the result is a juicier dish. It doesn’t matter what you do with it after: stew or bake.

If you have doubts about the freshness of the purchased rabbit, it is better to play it safe and marinate it in any suitable marinade. Or simply coat with a mixture of mustard, salt and olive oil, wrap in a plastic bag and place in the refrigerator overnight. Then you can cook it whole or cut it into pieces.
