How to Cook Rabbit in the Crock Pot

Some people hunt their own rabbits, while others get gutted and cleaned rabbit from the grocery store. A lean animal with plenty of meat on the bones, rabbit tastes mild and similar to chicken. Because it has no strong flavor of its own, it pairs well with a lot of different foods that are spicy or rich. Cook rabbit meat in a slow cooker so that it becomes very tender from the long simmering.

Things You'll Need

  • Nonstick spray
  • 1 onion, diced
  • Small red potatoes
  • Salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Rosemary sprigs
  • Thyme sprigs
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick spray.

  2. Put the chopped onion and small red potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot.

  3. Sprinkle the rabbit pieces with salt and cracked pepper and place them on top of the vegetables.

  4. Lay rosemary and thyme sprigs over the rabbit pieces.

  5. Pour in 1 cup of red wine and 1 cup of water.

  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook the rabbit for 8 hours on the low setting.
