N stone...what kind of bunnies have you got...my American chinchillas at 12 weeks usually dress out at about 2.75 lbs on average..the breed you have may be a smaller bun...

The most famous rabbit recipe is Hasenpfeffer.

For many years Elmer Fudd wanted to make this dish with Bugs Bunny.

You can google and find a recipe.

It is very good. It is a German Rabbit Stew.

With our wild rabbits we made a rabbit n dumplings. Depending on how much you want to make, increse or decrease the ingredient quantities.

30oz Chicken broth
30oz Water
6 Celery sticks
1 Onion (medium)
2 1/2 lbs Rabbit meat
Cajun spice
1 pack Refrigerator biscuits

We start the broth out on medium.
Cut the celery and onions up (I cut the onions up extremely fine since my old man doesn't like the taste).
Add the vegetables and rabbit meat.
Start to Cajun it up! We like it spicy, but go at your own pace.
Leave on medium to medium-low for 4hours.
Pull the meat out and strip it from the bones.
Toss the meat back in. Now is when you can either turn it on low and let it simmer a little longer before supper time or go ahead and turn it on high to cook your dumplings.

Dumplings: Take the biscuits out of package. If you want LARGE dumplings, roll whole into a ball. If you want MEDIUM dumplings, cut in half then roll into a ball. If you want SMALL dumplings, cut into four pieces.
Throw them on top of the soup and let them soak up the juice.

Enjoy!!

So this past Friday we cooked out first. it was GREAT!!! Even the kids loved it. That was my fear.

We cooked it in the crock pot for while to get the meat good and done, then battered it and fried it. was really good. I will add a bit more seasoning to the batter next time...they are pretty bland.


I'm going to try all these wonderful recipes everyone is sharing, they all sound so yummy.

I have New Zealands...and they just seem tiny. I'm going to be supplementing to beef them up some.
