Rabbit Dish to Travel

[jteebagy]

I've cooked rabbit before, but am attemding a dinner where I have been asked to bring a main dish of rabbit. Anyone have idea of what I can make that I can make at home and bring to the dinner (only a short drive away)? that won't suffer from the trip and appeal to a diverse group.

a rabbit espagnole, especially with the addition of wild mushrooms, is classic and excellent. you don't have to worry about the meat drying out and you can transport it hot or cold in a le creuset-type dutch oven. can serve with noodles, dumplings, potatoes, polenta, or any starch.

you can also do rabbit cacciatore-style, or braised and finished in a cream sauce, in addition to the other nice ideas here.

Bunny Marengo! With onions, garlic, peppers of all colors, tomatoes and good assorted olives!

Lapin a la moutarde (braised rabbit with a Dijon mustard sauce). Classic bistro/brasserie fare that reheats well. Good with spaetzle or boiled potatoes. Just use the legs and make pate out of the rest, along with pork shoulder.

You can make fried wabbit!! Just section it, roll in seasoned flour, and fry like chicken. It will travel fine and reheat welll as long as you don't overcook it, because rabbit, being so lean, will dry out like nobody's bidness. Make a gravy and bring a jar along.

Wabbit stew. 'Tis the only way I know to stop it drying out.

Something like this: http://www.greatbritishkitchen.co.uk/...

Mmmmm. I think I could easily eat the whole recipe to my head, my good man.

Anything with suet dumplings is a thing of joy. IMO, of course.

[mamachef]

Your opinion totally matters. A suet dumpling is tastier than just about anything I can think of, and picks up sauce so beautifully.

German hassenpfeffer. Also known as jugged rabbit. Soak at least a day. Travels well and is not what people normally expect. And spaetzle.
