FRIED RABBIT
Ingredients
2 wild rabbits
Water
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt, pepper, and nutmeg
Egg, beaten
Bread crumbs
Fat for frying
Parsley
Green peas
Toast
Instructions
Dress and disjoint 2 rabbits. Wipe clean and parboil 10 minutes in water containing lemon juice. Drain. Season with salt, pepper, and very little nutmeg. Dip in beaten egg, then in very dry bread crumbs. Fry in deep fat (have the fat hot enough so a 1-inch cube of bread is brown in 60 seconds). Drain free of fat by holding each piece on a fork over the pan. It makes them crispy and leaves no fatty taste. Place cooked meat on a hot dish, garnish with parsley and serve with green peas and toast. Plan to serve as many people as you would from the same weight of chicken.
