Sweet, lean and similar to chicken in taste, rabbit is extremely versatile. It is lightly flavored and has a nutty aftertaste that is unique to this animal.
It is considered one of the healthiest meats because it is high in protein, very low in cholesterol and has the fewest calories per pound of any meat including beef, pork and chicken meat. Rabbit is usually raised without the use of hormones or steroids.
When cooking, pan sear and finish in the oven with a simple sauce.
