This is pretty much out of Jack & Reg Absalom's book & it went down a treat so I best be sharing it.

Ingredients:
Two med sized fresh rabbits.
1/2 Kg bacon.
flour for dusting

seasoning:-
1 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.
1 tblsp butter
1 tblsp dripping (I used lard)
1 spring onion.
1 tblsp lemon juice.
1 egg
2 tblsp parsley
1-2 cloves garlic

Note: measurements are approximate!

soak rabbits in salt water for 1 hour.
mix seasoning by first crumbling butter in by hand then add other ingredients & place in cavity of rabbits, pin cavity closed & bend rabbit untill front & back legs meet then tie with butchers string.
dust with flour, wrap with bacon & place on a trivet in suitable sized camp oven with a little olive or peanut oil in the bottom.
Add your choice of vege's & sprinkle with your choice of seasonings (salt pepper etc,).
Cook on high heat for about an hour or until browned. serve with gravy & fresh CO bread.

comments:
1. Personly I prefer to do my vege's in a seperate dry oven to get them browned better but I only took one oven with me.
2. Use fresh rabbits only, young ones if you can get them. The larger of the two I did on the weekend had been frozen & was a bit tough. but the little fellow made up for it!!!

Can't do rabbit, I can eat most things, but as a kid the older brother and I would spend time in northern Tasmania on a farm, and shoot rabbits, skin em and gut em, since then can't look at a rabbit. let alone eat one, but bet they are nice.

Don't waste a day, not while your breathing.

That's because he wrote that in October 2007 just before he told me where I could put this forum and that wasn't a very nice place to put it either. Grin

We had a disagreement about politics on another forum. Cool

The buthcer on Mary just down form athletic oval oftern advertises rabbit and also the continental buthery on Herries (opps Pattons).

They are frozen of course, however I have word that the kittens are in the warren at Texas so feel a weekend out of town due.

Took a while to convince the kids to try rabbit, but the same as goat, once tried they ask for more.
