Rabbit baked in sour cream
To bake a rabbit in the oven in sour cream, you need to take:
- 1 carcass of a rabbit (1-1.5 kg);
- 500 g sour cream;
- 3-4 cloves of garlic;
- juice of one lemon;
- ground black pepper;

Rinse the cut rabbit carcass under running water, dry with a towel or napkin and cut into large portions. Peel the cloves of garlic and cut into thin slices. Season the rabbit with salt, pepper and garlic. Then pour over freshly squeezed lemon juice and keep in the cold for 8-10 hours.
After this time, place the pickled pieces of rabbit meat on a deep baking sheet or in a saucepan and pour over sour cream. Then place in an oven preheated to 200 ° C and bake until tender. The baking time depends on the size of the carcass (an hour is enough to cook a kilogram of meat, and about one and a half hours for a one and a half kilogram carcass).
Rabbit meat can be marinated in pomegranate juice. In this case, it should be baked without sour cream and served with sour cream sauce.
