Cooking Tips
The rabbit meat must always be pickled, so the meat is much tastier, richer and softer. Without marinating, it will always be a little tougher and not as aromatic as we would like.
Marinating may be different:
- Wine vinegar plus spices. Vinegar is diluted with water 1: 1 and spices are added. The disadvantage is that the real meat flavor is lost. Wash meat before cooking.
- The most wonderful marinade is white wine. The meat after it is fragrant, tender and does not lose its beneficial properties.
- Whey also softens rabbit well and removes unpleasant odors.
The preparation of the rabbit should always take place with the addition of various spices: ground black pepper, onions, salt and garlic.
All dishes made from rabbit meat are not difficult at all, but their taste and aroma is simply unique. Rabbit in sour cream can be served in everyday life in order to surprise relatives, and on holidays. Cook with pleasure and delight yourself and your loved ones!
