The rabbit carcass has three distinct sections that require different cooking methods. Here is to best cook these different sections with their distinct characteristics.
The fronts are the most flavourable. They are the tougher parts and ideal for stews, bakes, pre-cooking and slower cooking methods in general. Methods in cooking juices will return best results. The flavour is outstanding and the only part of the rabbit that probably resembles the true flavour of the rabbit.
The saddle or the middle section is the most tender part. This part is a culinary delight and boasts huge creativity. Quicker cooking methods, even poaching will suffice. Do not overcook this delicate part of the rabbit.
The hind section is the mightiest part of the rabbit. This section has thicker meat parts around the bone and can be portioned further for ideal portions. Medium heat and medium cooking times are suggested. Ideal for braaing, oven bakes, casseroles or potjies.
