5. sprinkle a generous amount of paprika on the pieces in the pan...do not be shy on the paprika!
6. reduce heat and cover tightly. Cook over low heat until tender about 20-25 minutes, turning pieces once half way through
7. When you turn the pieces in the pan, reapply another generous sprinkly of Paprika! Do not be shy!
8. After 20-25 minutes, remove pan cover and cook another 5 minutes
9. Remove pieces and place on paper towell to dry
10. For gravey, blend in 3 tbsp's of flour into the pan grease and add the broth (be sure to remove any large crisps from the rabbit that may be in the grease) and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Add salt, pepper and brown bouquet in the sauce/gravey to taste
11. Serve the rabbit, with gravey...we like it over rice with lots of gravey!!! Add biscuits and veggies and you are set.
