Rabbit Stew/Casserole

Feisar

I have a rabbit casserole in the oven for two hours, I'm after taking it out and tasting the water, it is very very bitter. My wife described it as violent! The meat is lovely. Going to leave it in for another hour and see what it's like then. Anyone any ideas as to why?

Without knowing literally a single other ingredient you used other than rabbit, we can't possibly answer that question.

Also, rabbit is generally considered to be an "R month" meat so if yours is freshly caught then that may be your issue.

Never knew that were were months you couldn't eat rabbit!
I buy mine in Supervalu.
Burn off half a glass of white wine before adding stock.
IPA might have been too bitter, rabbit is sweet.

The R thing is to do with the grass rabbits are feeding on as far as I know.

Yer right about the IPA...
