Braised Rabbit
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 45 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
My husband and I do a lot of hunting, and we eat more wild game than domestic meat. I like to create my own rabbit recipes and this one makes such tender meat with a tangy, light sauce. I like to serve it with baked potatoes and steamed broccoli. —Dawn Bryant, North Platte, Nebraska
