"Rabbit is actually pretty nice if prepared well."
yes, how about prepared with a bashed skull, and a broken leg? the meat still nice and tender for you...
No, just cleanly shot through the head. You dont eat that part anyway. Then skin it, remove the entrails, prepare some nice pieces of meat (flanks and legs do well).
Stew them (the meat)with a mixture of your own imagination. Something with herbs (say....koriander, parsley, some wine, salt, pepper, maybe a pinch of curry if you favour experimenting!). Let your imagination run wild, but remember if must go with the natural flavours of the rabbit.
Then as a second you can't go wrong with potatoes. Pasta or rice can do, but potatoes is best. Boil 'em to the point where they're just about to fall apart, then serve. Timing is of the essence.
As a third, get carrots. Carrots really compliment the earthy, yet rich taste of the rabbit and potatoes. Stew the carrots (you can even stew the carrots along with the rabbit) and add some additional sugar at will to distinguish from the rest of the meal.
At last, we come to the sauce. Now, as the meal is of a natural, earthy, yet rich flavour, we want something to add to that, but not overrule it. As such, i recommend a good herb sauce, comprising onions, mushrooms (no, not the drugs, just plain mushrooms), a tad of wine, some sugar, pepper, salt, a bit of butter, parsley and dragon, a bit of grinded tomatoe and a boullion cube.
The sauce is maybe the delicate bit. Dont be afraid to use a package sauce first time around.
As a final word, remember that timing is everything. The order ive listed it in is also the order of time the parts take. A few hours for the stewed rabbit, 20-15 minutes for your "taters" (depending on the kind i guess.) between 15-10 for the carrots and approx. 5 mins for a package sauce (homemade sauce takes about 10 i gather).
Well, there you go. Exactly how I would have my rabbit.
PS: I may be drunk, stoned and otherwise intoxicated, but this is a real recipe. Any people bold enough to try it and let me now get Duke-Brownie-Points. Don't be afraid to tread in the kitchen, folks. Souls of steel were born in there. Chuck Norris cooks for himself. As does Optimus Prime and Catwoman.
