I like to make Cajun Salsa Picante (Red Sauce) out of a nice swamper. I debone and chunk it up, then flour and brown in butter.
Remove the meat and add flour and butter in equal portions. Heat on med/high while stirring for about 20 min., until it's about the color of a brown brick.
Add chopped onions, peppers (bell and jalapeno for me) and sweat them for a few minutes, adding chopped garlic towards the end.
Add an 8 oz. can tomato sauce and a 15 oz can of chopped tomatoes (or crushed, rotel, etc.- whatever you like) and a little water.
Salt/pepper to taste, add about 1/2 tablespoon of cajun seasoning.
Add meat back in and simmer on low for about an hour.

Serve over white rice.

I love it in a gumbo with a little squirrel and fresh smoked sausage. Maybe some potato salad on the side. Oh and sweet tea! Man I'm hungry :chef:

I like to debone and cut it into bite size pieces, roll in flour, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Then deep fry until it is golden brown, I then put it in a bowl of chipolte sauce :angryfire: and shake the meat around, then I put it in a glass bowl in the oven just to bake the chipolte sauce :angryfire: in. Then with a little fryed potatos and a nice cold beverage your all set. I know its alot of work but its worth it in the end. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

A favorite for me and the kids is just plain old fried rabbit. It took me quite a few tries to get it right but if you do it nice and slow the meat stays juicy and tender. Fry it too fast and you might as well eat a piece of leather. :lol:

Joeyman's recipe where you roll it in flour, brown it in a pan then cover it with gravy and bake in the oven is pretty awesome too. It keeps from getting too dry when you do it that way too............plus it goes great with mashed potatoes.

Rabbit stew........oh boy now that's another good one too! I'll have to look up the recipe I used last year for the stew. I only did it just once at the end of the season but my kids gobbled it all up. I barely had enough left to let my dad try some so I could see what he thought of it.

Rabbit and noodles!

I always cut the legs off and pulled the loins (backstrap) from each rabbit. Pack jars full of legs and backstrap leaving about a half inch of space from top of jar. Then follow directions for canning meat as far as pressure, time and amount of canning salt.
When you get ready to make noodles just open jars, drain and seperate bones from meat. The meat will just fall off the bone. Add to noodles and eat!
