Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 Rabbit
- Salt & pepper
- Water
Instructions
In an Instant-Pot
- Place rack in bottom of pressure cooker. Place whole rabbit on rack and season w/ salt & pepper. Add 2 C. water. Cover with lid and turn valve to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 30-45 min. (less time for younger rabbits). Let pressure release naturally, or cover the stream valve with a folded towel and open 15 min. after cooking is complete.
In a Crock-Pot
- Place whole cleaned rabbit in slow cooker. Add herbs/onion to the body cavity if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1 C. water over rabbit. Cover and cook on low until meat is very tender (3-4 hours for a young rabbit, 4-6 hours for an older rabbit).
On the Stove
- Put rabbit(s) in a pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low until the meat is tender and falls off the bone (about 60-90 minutes). A gentle, low-heat boil is best to prevent tough meat. Remove rabbit from broth and cool. Strip meat from bones.
Notes
Note: Use meat immediately or store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in freezer bags or pressure can in jars with broth from pot.
