Overcooked rabbit

[curly_kate]

DH came home with rabbit that he bought from a coworker. Per his suggestion, we popped it in the crockpot for a few hours. Well, I guess we overcooked it because it turned to mush the minute I put it in my mouth. Is that how rabbit is supposed to be, or did we indeed overcook it? Is there anything we can make with the rabbit to kind of cover up the texture? I hate to let it go to waste. Maybe we could put it in chili??

yea use it chopped up or minced up like in chili but if ya can't stand it dogs and cats would eat it up for sure

no it should not be mush lol

rabbit is so delish I never crockpotted (is that a word? lol) a rabbit
I always used the oven for it

Sounds overcooked to me too. Mine does that when I make rabbit and dumplings. I always seem to boil it to long before I put the dumplings in. But it still taste good. Just no chucks of meat.

Spread yours out on a cookie sheet, pour on some BBQ sauce, bake in the oven for a few minutes (just until hot). Make pulled rabbit BBQ sandwiches.

If I accidentally destroy something by overcooking I strain off the broth and save that.

great ideas! I hate to have it go to waste! WZ - I'm going to strain it off right now. Good tip.

I recently killed a batch of chowder. The texture was awful but the flavor was excellent. I strained off the broth and added new meat and veggies to the saved broth. It was good
