My son shot a rabbit in our back yard, skinned and cleaned it. The least I could do was cook it! This recipe has a wonderful aroma, delicious! I only subbed balsamic vinegar for the lemon juice. But the dang rabbit never became tender, after 2 hours of moist cooking. Great recipe, though. Thanks!

This smelled amazing while cooking! I didn't have any chicken stock, but I substituted it for 1 c vegetable stock and 1 c red wine. This was the first time ever eating or cooking rabbit, and this was a super easy and tasty recipe to start out with! Rabbit tasted like a refined combination of pork and chicken.

I had no idea that rabbit was sweet. This was great. Just the right mixture of all the right spices. Will definitely do again.

Really good recipe! Our friend went hunting and gave us a rabbit. I have never had it before, and didn't really know what to expect. I've heard mixed reviews, but after this recipe I am no longer as wary to eat it! My boyfriend was afraid, but REALLY liked it and said it tasted just like chicken. The flavor was great, and it was very moist. I didn't have lemon juice, so I used orange. I also threw in some fresh mushrooms and a dash of wine. It tasted great! Thanks for the recipe! I will use it again if I get another rabbit.

This was very good and I've never cooked rabbit before... I followed the directions exactly, and it was great! I think my rabbit was done about 5 min sooner than expected, but everything tasted very good. The gravy was quite perfect over mashed potatoes and I'll probably try this recipe again with chicken (we never eat rabbit!). Next time will serve w/ a salad and mashed potatoes. Thanks Dawn!

I think this is an excellent base recipe for braising rabbit. It is rather tasty as is, but also leaves room for personal preferences to be added. I personally prefer to just rub mny meats with oil rather than use a measured amount, but thats a personal choice. I have also tried adding fennel, rosemary, and allspice in different quantity and combinations.
