Stewed rabbit in a slow cooker: preliminary preparation of meat

Before thermal processing of meat, rabbit meat is divided into portions for convenience. Cutting up a rabbit carcass is no more difficult than cutting up a chicken carcass. See for yourself:

1. Spread the gutted animal carcass on a cutting board and separate the back part. Using a knife with a sharp blade, cut the meat to the bone, and cut through the bone with kitchen scissors.
2. Separate the hind legs from the carcass. In a large rabbit, each foot is usually divided into two parts. As a result, 5 portioned pieces come out from the back of the carcass.
3. Now cut off the front legs with a knife. If the size of the animal allows, divide them in half too.
4. Make cuts along the body, marking the portions.
5. Cut the body along the marked cuts. Cut the meat with a knife, divide the bones with scissors.
6. Also use scissors to cut the breastbone. A medium-sized brisket usually yields 3 to 4 servings.

That's it, the cutting work is finished. Now the pieces of meat can be fried, baked or stewed.

Stewed rabbit in a slow cooker: tips to note

1. The meat of a well-fed animal is the most delicious. It is light pink and very delicate. It is enough to boil, fry or stew using a minimum of spices. On the carcass of a skinny rabbit, the meat is bluish-red and quite tough. It makes good cutlets, meatballs and balls.
2. The legs and back are the most delicious parts of the rabbit.
3. Rabbit meat, especially the carcasses of mature animals, has a characteristic smell. If this bothers you, soak the meat in water or vinegar solution, changing the liquid once every half hour. Usually 3 – 4 pours are enough. When pouring the meat for the last time, add a little wine, milk or soy sauce to the liquid.
4. It is convenient to cook rabbit in a multicooker using two programs. First, turn on the “Baking” mode to fry pieces of meat, onions and carrots in a small amount of oil, and then bring the dish to readiness in the “Stew” mode, adding the required amount of liquid and spices.

Secrets of experienced housewives

• Stewed rabbit will turn out tender only if you first soak it in boiled water or marinate it using olive oil, wine or whey.
• It is recommended to stew rabbit meat in sour cream with the addition of special spices (for example, dried basil is perfect).
• You can cook delicious rabbit from both fresh and frozen meat. Before you start cooking, you should defrost, disassemble the carcass, and then cut the rabbit meat into medium pieces.
• Stewed rabbit goes well with vegetables; carrots and onions are perfect for this dish.
• Along with the rabbit meat, you can prepare a simple and tasty side dish in a slow cooker; a recipe for steamed boiled potatoes is ideal for this purpose.
• Garlic goes well with almost any type of meat, including rabbit. A few cloves of garlic will highlight the special taste of rabbit in the Redmond slow cooker.
• For stewing, use light pink meat with small streaks of fat. It is the young rabbit that will turn out to be soft and very delicate in taste.

If the rabbit meat has a rich dark pink hue, this is the carcass of an old animal. Before cooking, be sure to marinate the meat so that it is properly softened.

• Not only white wine, but also milk, which perfectly softens the fibers, can act as a marinade.
• To prepare the second course, it is best to use full-fat sour cream, which will create a thicker sauce.

Now you will learn how to prepare a delicious dietary dish that can be served both on an everyday and holiday table.
