Stewed Rabbit with Fennel and Zucchini Noodles
We are lucky to be able to get rabbit from a local farm that also pasture raises our chickens and fall turkeys. If you haven’t had rabbit is is very good. Similar to chicken, but much dryer since it doesn’t have the skin or much fat on it. I can get them whole from this farm and pieced from another farm. If you get your rabbit whole and want to cut it up this video shows you how. I usually stop at the point where he has cut the ribs from the body but you can cut it up as much as you want. I also don’t soak it in salt water. I haven’t run the oxalate numbers on this but it should be pretty low because of how little I used of the higher oxalate foods like tomato paste. Plus this ended up very much like a stew. It would serve 6 people I think, depending on the size of your rabbit.

Here it is in my dish. One leg and some noodles peeking out at the top. |

Everything in the pot but the extra water. You can see that I left the rabbit whole. I cut it up later on in the cooking. |
Here you can see it bubbling away. Notice how it isn’t quite covered by the liquid. |
I put it in a pan with a little broth that is simmering. Cook till just done or they will get mushy. |
You can see how long the noodles were. Don’t mind the man in the painting shirt. He didn’t know he was going to be a model.. |
W decided that her favorite part was the noodles. She ate hers with lots of butter. |
Little J decided her favorite part was the sauce/broth. She drank 2 mugs full of it |

I have been thinking of making a rabbit stew. This post gave me some good ideas. Very good post!
Patty- I have noticed that you use coconut aminos as a substitute for soy sauce… I'd love to try it! What is it and where do I get it??
Hi Tom, Let us know how it comes out and if you do something unique with it. I'm always looking for new ideas.
Aims,
Whole foods sells it. It is linked in this post to where you can get it from amazon as well. And I am keeping my fingers crossed that Green PolkaDot Box will start to carry it and all the coconut secret stuff soon.
Anything i need to know before i buy a spiralizer? Brand? Price? Those zucchini noodles look perfect. If i could get nito to eat something besides meat my life would be easier.
Love the pic of W with her mouth full of noodles! =)
Charlotte,
Click on the photo in the post. That is the one I have and I'm very happy with it.
Thanks Dorothy. That was how she wanted to be photographed. Silly thing.
Those looking for the Coconut Aminos Green PolkaDot Box is now carrying them and the price is amazingly low. I'm very excited about that new addition!
