How to choose a good rabbit carcass

1. Freshness

Take only fresh or chilled meat, never frozen.

2. Color

Good, fresh meat of young rabbit is always pink in color, without any bloody streaks. And the old one is always dark.

3. Weight

The weight of a young rabbit is about 1.5 kg. If more, it means that it was most likely old.

4. Flexible spine

If you want to check the rabbit for age, just take its paw and lift it up - the spine of a young carcass easily bends.

5. Natural limb

If it is definitely a rabbit, and not some other animal, it should have a fluffy tail or a leg, which shows that it is really a rabbit carcass, as well as a brand that confirms the quality of the product.

How to cook the meat properly

• Marinate rabbit meat for an hour before cooking. The ideal marinade would be soy sauce or kefir, wine, or just vinegar.
• If you are going to bake it, it is best to fry it beforehand to make it soft.
• It should be stewed for no more than 2.5 hours so that it does not boil over.
• Rosemary will complement the meat the best.
