Recipe - Wabbit Wecipe

DRY MIX
1 cup Crushed and powdered corn
flakes
One half cup Whole or white wheat flour
2 teaspoon Season salt
One half teaspoon Chile powder; (or 2 or 3??)
One half teaspoon Lemon pepper
One half teaspoon Black pepper
One half teaspoon Finely crushed tarragon or
sub. coriander

Mix all together, roll rabbit in mix to coat, brown in deep skillet or
dutch oven in olive oil.

Remove rabbit pieces and set aside.

Add regular flour to cracklings and olive oil (about 1:1 ratio), need about
One half cup flour or so for gravy sauce.

Heat oil/flour/cracklings, stirring, until light odor of bread starts to
appear.(Gets thick and pastey)

Let cool 5 minutes, stir in 6+ cups milk to make gravy. Bring to a boil,
stirring to prevent sticking. Gravy should thicken and lumps dissolve after
a little boiling. Stir in enough half&half to cover rabbit pieces. Add more
chile powder and salt to gravy if desired.

Place rabbit in pot, bones sticking up for handles. Cover all meat if
possible.

Bake, covered, 1 One half hours at 275300 degrees F.

Serve gravy over wild rice, with buttered yeast rolls, tossed salad on the
side.

I learned to cook this from my mother, who is an excellent wild game cook.
(I did add chile powder, she doesn't use very much.) She often served
rabbit with corn bread, sweeter than usual, with whole kernel corn and
chopped peppers added. MMMmmmm.
