Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound lean rabbit meat
1 1/4 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut away and discard all traces of membrane, gristle or bone from the rabbit meat. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes. Put the cubes into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend until finely ground. Put the meat into a mixing bowl and add 3/4 cup of the bread crumbs and the nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Scatter the remaining bread crumbs on a flat surface. Shape the meat into four flat rounds, each about 3/4 inch thick. Coat the rounds all over, bottom, top and sides with bread crumbs. Pat with the fingers to make the crumbs adhere.
  • Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold rounds in one layer. Cook about 5 minutes until nicely browned on one side. Turn and cook the rounds about 7 minutes longer. Transfer the pieces to a warm serving dish. Pour off the fat from the skillet and wipe the skillet with paper toweling. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and when it is hot but not browned add the lemon juice. Pour this over the rounds. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
