Rabbit meat is not in such demand in Russia as chicken, beef and pork. It is believed that the rabbit is a dietary and even delicious food. So, if you love meat, but you are fed up with cutlets and beef stroganoff for dinner, try to cook rabbit meat. Delicate, delicious meat with a creamy sauce will not leave you indifferent.
It is necessary
-
- 1 rabbit,
- 4 tablespoons ghee,
- 1 glass of cream with a fat content of 25%,
- 5-6 cloves of garlic
- Salt
- pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
For cooking in a creamy sauce, young rabbit meat is usually taken. Adult rabbit meat is tougher and takes longer to cook. In addition, tender meats go better with creamy sauces. In principle, it is not necessary to use a whole rabbit for this dish. You can take the thigh part for cooking, which is considered the fleshy part. In any case, the first step is to cut the rabbit meat into smaller pieces - 150-200 gr each.
Step 2
Next, prepare a mixture with which you will coat the meat. Peel 5-6 cloves of garlic. Squeeze it, add salt and ground black pepper. Coat the prepared pieces with the mixture and leave to stand at room temperature for 30-40 minutes.
Step 3
Then preheat a frying pan, melt the butter. Please note that the oil is very quickly absorbed into the meat, so you may need to add it during the frying process. Place the pieces of rabbit in a preheated skillet with butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side.
Step 4
Next, you will need a cauldron or other container with high edges, preferably with thick walls. Melt 100 g of butter in the microwave. Lubricate the bottom of the cauldron with it. Then lay out the first layer of meat, sprinkle with oil and do this with each new layer of rabbit. Do not be afraid that the dish will be too greasy. By itself, rabbit meat is practically devoid of fat. That is why you should not spare the oil during the cooking process. After the meat is placed in the cauldron, you can proceed to the final stage of cooking. Heat the meat over low heat, then pour in the cream and simmer until tender. To make the meat tender, it is necessary to keep it on fire for at least an hour and a half.
Step 5
You can serve the rabbit in cream either as an independent dish or with a side dish of friable rice, mashed potatoes. Vegetables are served separately.
