“Skillet-Seared” Southern Rabbit

This method delivers a “wow” result with a “melt-in-your-mouth” tenderness that highlights the natural, delicate flavor of the meat.

Ingredients

The Star: 2–3 lbs Fresh Rabbit Meat, jointed into pieces (as seen in your bowl).

The “Velvety” Marinade: 1/2 cup Avocado Oil or melted Ghee.

The Aromatics: 4 cloves Garlic (smashed), 3 sprigs fresh Rosemary, and 3 sprigs fresh Thyme.

The Seasoning: 1 tsp Sea Salt and 1/2 tsp cracked Black Pepper.

The Finish: A squeeze of fresh Lemon juice and a handful of fresh Parsley.

Preparation Steps

1. The “Magic” Brine: To ensure a “steakhouse-quality” tenderness, soak the rabbit pieces in cold salt water for 30 minutes, then pat them completely dry with paper towels.

2. The Infusion: In a large glass bowl, toss the meat with oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until every piece is coated in that “velvety” herb mix.

3. The Rustic Sear: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rabbit pieces in the pan—don’t crowd them!

4. The Golden Crust: Sear for 5–7 minutes per side until they develop a beautiful, rustic golden-brown exterior.

5. The Gentle Finish: Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the meat is fully cooked through but remains juicy.

6. The Reveal: Serve on a warm platter with a fresh squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of parsley for that “wow” artistic finish.
