I’m starting rabbit and chicken farming for the first time this year! City slicker living in a small town now, always wanted to try homestead living.

Never heard anyone pronounce "Hasenpfeffer" so cool the way you did. It actually sounded nearly perfect. Strange note: "Hase" is hare and "pfeffer" actually means pepper, in this context however describes a stew or ragout made from game. Rabbit on the other hand is "Kaninchen", which is different animal. So technically you made a "Kaninchenpfeffer", not a Hasenpfeffer if you used rabbit and not wild hare. But that's just splitting rabbit hairs. Cook on, Cowboy, you got fans in Germany who take their hats off to thank you for your channel.

He was pleasantly surprised as rabbit liver has an even milder flavor than chicken liver. It makes a terrific liver pate also.

I will refer you to the book Skis Against the Atom. Sounds weird but Norwegian Commandos who mostly live off the land in WWII said that eating the whole animal provided them with the nutrients they needed. The typical steak would not keep them alive. It took the entrails, brain, eyes, and all to do it...

I love this. Texas has a surprising amount of German descendants and Mexico had an Austrian Emperor. They killed Maximilian but his Vienna lager gave us XX. I hope to enjoy Kent's cooking one day.

Hi Kent! Here in Spain we put a good pan fry on the liver and then we grind it in a mortar with garlic and a toast to make an amazing rabbit stew.

My grandpa was an avid rabbit hunter. He learned how as a kid during the Depression. He had a nail on one of the posts of the carport where he would stick his rabbits to skin them. He would always leave one rabbit foot attached to the body. He had been doing that since he was a kid to let people know it was a rabbit and not a cat he was preparing. Like in case he wanted to trade a rabbit for something.

Loved the video, I grew up eating a lot of small game. My mom would fry that rabbit then take and make a roux and stew it all down and serve over rice. Another version that’s always been my favorite is to sear the seasonings and rabbit in Dutch oven and have clear broth and white wine cover it and cook til tender and yep, serve over rice. It’s all good eating! Thanks so much for the video, I hope a lot of the subscribers will try these. Anyone in or near Rogers Ar, there’s a rabbit processor there and they sell cleaned, ready to cook rabbits there.For those that hunt, all the better.

Takes me back to when I was very young. My dad used to fry up rabbit the same way he pan-fried chicken. It was delicious.

Gonna have to try the hasenpheffer. Back before my rabbit beagle retired to a tasting beagle, I always had plenty of wild rabbits and I raised rabbits for meat too. Always had to make it into a little more familiar so everyone would eat it. Rabbits substitute well in lots of recipes. The work well in fajitas, white chili, dumplings, stir fry, curries, as well as fried and stewed. Great to see more game recipes !!!

When deep frying meat, instead of double-dipping, I prefer to season the meat, dust with corn starch, then dip & coat with flour. I don't like to use anything but salt in the flour, spices tend to lose flavor in the heat and you have to use a lot of spice ($$) to get distinct flavor. But if the seasoning is on the meat to start with, you get it in every bite.

We raised rabbits and ate a lot of them. If you like chicken liver, you will love rabbit liver. There is a small bladder on them that needs to be pinched off and it has to come off intact. If it bursts, toss it. Otherwise, cook like chicken liver and enjoy.

I like to cook my rabbit down in the pressure cooker, pull the meat off the bone, then make a soup with whatever else you want in it. I usually just add onion, carrots, celery, and whatever seasonings I feel like. I've also added black beans, rice, and taco seasoning and it was good

My son insists that we leave one piece of shot in whatever small wild game we are eating to prove that we didn't buy it in a store. When eating large game he's satisfied with just a picture to prove we shot it.

We never had that shot problem. I only hunted them with a .22 caliber rifle. I was taught to aim at the eye. I got my first .22 when I was 8 years old in 1956 and it was the only .22 I had till it was stolen 38 years later when my home was broken into.

I'm binge-watching gunsmoke all seasons for the hundredth time...lol! Just about every scene where they're cooking something over a fire, its rabbit!!

Thank you Kent for these recipes! I've never had Hasenpfeffer but will certainly try this recipe. And thank you for always remembering Us Veterans. It was our pleasure to serve this country and kep our people safe and sound. God Bless you Kent!

Carving that rabbit up like Oklahoma Jaques Pepin....delicious!

Hi Kent and Shan. These recipes look yummy awesome. I have never had hasenpfeffer before, but it looks very good. I have had my share of fried rabbit, but it has been a while. Thank you for sharing. You, Shan, and the pups have a very blessed week. Stay safe and stay well. Love ya.
