OKAY OKAY!! Listen. Do I peel potatoes like an absolute fruitcake? Yes. Yes I do. Old habits die hard you guys. The comments roasting me on how I peel potatoes have me rolling though 😆 Also, since posting this video I have had a lot of people comment about how canola oil and vegetable oils are really bad for health. I would like to thank all of those that posted about this, because I actually had no idea. Shortly after making this video, we completely switched to deep-frying using lard, bacon grease, or beef tallow. And I gotta admit - things taste much better fried in animal fats. I also get less acne now! It's been great. Anyway, hope you enjoyed that video. Thanks for the comments :)

[@faeleaf174]

That's awesome that you made the switch! "Seed oils," as they've been called nowadays, are one of the worst foods you can put into your body. Literally! Tallow is our go-to for deep-frying, but we also recommend duck fat if you can get it! And for high-heat cooking, avocado oil is a good option too for a non-animal option. Otherwise, stick to the good, hearty animal fats! Also, your recipe looks amazing. We did fried rabbit once before, and the meat ended up pretty dry--but we raise our rabbits to be a bit older, so that could've been why. Still, watching this definitely inspired me to give it a go again! We really love to do rabbit confit with ours, as well as soups/stews.

How is the taste compared to wild rabbits?

[@faeleaf174]

@@jasonbrown4819I'm not sure if you were replying to me because I mentioned older rabbits that taste great, but I can't compare to wild rabbits. I, unfortunately, have not had the pleasure of eating wild rabbit. However, I would be confident that our rabbits taste closer to wild rabbits than most farm-raised because we feed them an extremely varied diet of greens, fruits, grasses, weeds, flowers, herbs, etc. and also let them get older for more flavor. I imagine wild rabbits are still going to be a bit stronger-tasting though simply because they use their muscles far more in the wild (sprinting and moving far distances, fighting, etc.) compared to any rabbits raised in captivity. Most rabbit farmers boast about how their rabbit tastes just like chicken and could trick anyone that didn't know. We don't aspire to be like that at all. We're proud that are rabbit meat does NOT taste like chicken and can clearly be distinguished between other meats as its own unique flavor. It's definitely still a milder white meat that could probably be close to chicken in any recipe, but eaten more plainly, you would never think you're eating chicken. And we love it that way.

[@larrys-qr6zr]

@@jasonbrown4819 it's a little gamier, but still taste like rabbit.

[@MsSmellybob]

After watching a few of your videos I wanted to point out the amazing benefits of rabbit poop. My wife and I used to have a flock of chickens, throughout the year I would collect the poop and mix it with straw, or other organic matter and allow it to sit for days to a week before stirring it, I would do this for an entire 7-9 months, I did this because chicken poop will destroy your crops if it isn't broken down. Rabbit poop on the other hand does not need these extra steps, you could collect it immediately, and toss it in your raised beds. Rabbit poop has incredible nutritional value for your soil and plants. In my opinion, it is better than chicken or cow and very convenient, but also the manure that for some reason is generally overlooked.

[@rusticcloverhomestead4656]

[@TealStoneHomestead]

[@markdavis6923]

we raised rabbit for about 10 years and we did exactly what you shown to everyone. hard meal to beat

[@maritzarodriguez2960]

Me and my dad love resting them in saltwater too!!

[@perfectweather]

I let them rest for 7-10 days in a fridge. I do a salt water or vinegar brine for a few hours before I start cooking

[@johnthonig1692]

Brining is the key

[@onemanjam_music]

Here's the recipe since it's not in the description 1) Procure a rabbit, and s o a k in saltwater 2) get rabbit out of the fridge and let it rest for 30 minutes 3) If you don't have kids, you may peel a couple Idaho potatoes. if you do have kids, you can still peel them, it'll just be more difficult. Cube the potatoes and boil for 15 minutes, then strain in colander 4) put the taters in a bowl with butter (or in the kitchenaid) along with salt and half and half, and then m a s h. taste your potatoes, and make a face as the secrets of the universe are revealed to you 5) melt butter in a pan, add little bits of flour at a time to make a roux, and then add broth a little bit at a time and stir, add salt, pepper, and other seasonings 6) Now for the good part, grab a fat bottom pot, and fill it with o i l. 7) in a bowl, add 1 cup of of flour, 2 tsp of paprika, 2 tsp white pepper, 2 tsp garlic salt, 2 tsp celery salt, 2 tsp celery seed, 1 tsp ground turmeric powder, 1 tsp thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp ground cayenne, 1tsp ground mustard, 2 tsp onion powder, and black pepper. Colonel Sanders got nothing on you babyyyyyy. s i f t 8) crack 3 eggs in a bowl, break and and stir with vigor 9) coat the bunny in flour, then in e g g, then in more flour 10) when the oil is at 375-400 F, gently lower the rabbit morsels into the pot, one at a time 11) set a timer, or wait for rabbit to stop bubbling and sizzling. turn the rabbit a couple times to make certain of thorough cooking. It's done when the rabbit is 165 F internally at least 12) look at that crunch 13) LOOK at that CROUNCH 14) eat

The best part of this meal is it can be all home grown. Well done on this delicious meal. We portioned and pressure canned all of ours (sausage and pieces in Mason jars). ~Kate

[@TealStoneHomestead]

So true! I always get so giddy when the meal came entirely from our homestead ❤️

Mmm, I've never heard of rabbit sausage! I bet it's delicious! 🥰

[@beachhousefibers1216]

Hi, thank you for posting this video. I am fairly new to raising rabbits; I only have English Angoras. We wanted a dual-purpose small animal for our small homestead to support my hobby as well as food. My family is not accustomed to eating rabbit because the meat is tough however, I am looking forward to trying your recipe. I love your channel, you are a great role model for anyone wanting to get into rabbits or for people to understand the balance needed to breed and care for the herd. To me, you show others that you can love and care (cuddle, play with, enjoy) and still take responsibility for controlling the size of your herd (selective). You are a blessing. Thank you, and please keep posting these great videos. I pray for many blessings and prosperity in your life.

[@TealStoneHomestead]

Thank you so much! 🧡

[@kyerstenkerr5074]

Happy meat is healthy meat! This looks delicious!! I made 2 rabbits the other day for my family of 7, first time my 5 young kids ate it in pieces, I've 'hid' it by grinding. They do butcher with me and tan the hides with me, but harvesting makes them sad.... They devoured 2 whole rabbits, over 5 lbs each older roasters! This recipe looks like a hit! Next batch of fryers I know what I'm making 😋🥰

Fantastic! Talk about take me back home. WooHoo. Absolutely loved it. I grew up on the farm from the mid 50's through the 60's and I was the slaughter kid for our family. Rabbits, ducks, chickens, pigeons, goats, swine and bovine, Dad taught me and then turned me loose with it. Mom was the chef and she had many ways to prepare meats and vegetables. Once, I was able to hunt we threw in venison as well. Nothing was wasted so I appreciated your rendering down and so on. Yep, made miss my momma and dad! Learned so much from them..... You're doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.

Soaking your meat in milk also pull out the blood and give your meat a nice flavor, the milk will turn red change it for new milk. Also work great with ducks take the gamey flavor out.

You need some cast iron pans! Also, one hack would be to use the extra flour from the breading for your rue since it’s already been exposed to protein and can’t really be stored/reused. Looks wonderful!

pro chef here: I LOVE cooking with rabbit stock. I always get more compliments on my soups and gravies using rabbit instead of chicken. It has a slightly sweeter, richer flavor and the fat has such a velvety mouth feel I can't get enough of. Makes me wish that rabbits were less lean! I raise New Zealands which are the fattest and most heat-tolerant rabbit breed I could find

[@lyledahlberg288]

Very interesting. I haven’t been able to find rabbit to eat for ever. I grew up in the 40s and 50s on a small rabbit farm where we raised, butchered and sold rabbits to supermarkets. We saw the stretched hides to seers. We used to eat some chicken, ducks, pigs beef goat etc. However, we’re mostly ate rabbit. I really miss it.

This looks so delicious! Crisco is another good option for frying foods. Hoping to try making rabbit "nuggets" coated in seasoned sourdough discard but not sure how long to fry for so fingers crossed I don't over cook it! If you ever want to change up your homemade mashed potatoes we like to add garlic powder, sour cream and sliced green onion or parsley. My husband will cook green beans with sliced garlic and pieces of bacon... highly recommend it Thanks for sharing how you make this lovely meal! Have a great day

[@tarabishop8499]

I raised rabbits for 4H when I was growing up and this brought memories flooding back on how we would butcher our rabbits and Mom would fry them up just like you have done. So good, better than chicken (rabbits are leaner, hate chicken fat)! Never had the broth though, that would be delicious. Thank you!

I love to reuse oil for 2 reasons... it gives a certain umami to food and it's economical. Before storing it.... filter it! I noticed you did it prior to cooking and you might have done it after cooking? Really enjoying this video thus far!!!! (10.00 minutes) The overcooked flour and other containments actually foul the oil especially if stored at room temperature. Strain, store and reuse!!! Recipe for the recipe!

My husband and I used to raise rabbits. We used to eat a lot of rabbit meat. We got out of rabbits because I developed back problems. We haven't gotten back into rabbits because the price of feed is high. I miss eating rabbit meat! It's a mild and lean meat. I used to make a lot of dishes with rabbit meat..stir fry, stew, tacos roast, fried, Italian foods, burger patties, etc.. If ever I get into rabbits again, I would get smaller breeds for meat.
