Rabbit benefits
A good, well-fed rabbit carcass is a real find for a skilled housewife. After all, this meat belongs to the category of delicious varieties, dietary, nutritious, with a delicate pleasant taste. It is not for nothing that doctors recommend rabbit meat as a therapeutic food for children and the elderly, as well as patients of different ages with anemia, a weakened body, and gastrointestinal diseases. With low cholesterol, rabbit meat is a product of high energy value. It is believed that this meat is more healthy than poultry, moreover, it is more tender, soft, especially with skillful cooking. For example, a rabbit in sour cream in a slow cooker is surprisingly tasty.
Operating modes
In this device, meat is processed most often in the "Stew" and "Baking" modes. The first gives the dishes the very tenderness, softness, thanks to which they melt right in the mouth. Moreover, even quite tough and sinewy meat becomes such. If, then, it is brought to readiness by turning on “baking,” the product will “acquire” a wonderful crisp. So we will have a rabbit cooked in sour cream, in the slow cooker we will need the first mode.
Carcass cutting
Like any carcass, this one needs to be cut into portions before the meat is cooked. In the rabbit stand out: the front legs along with the breast, the back and legs are back. In length, the carcass is also divided into three parts: in the region of the sacrum - where the hips join; behind the shoulder blades (along the chest); the back may not share. Remove the film from the meat. When everything is ready, you can proceed: a rabbit in sour cream, in a slow cooker, is waiting for you!
Meat with white sauce
The first recipe is quite simple. In addition to the main product, you will need: 300-350 g of sour cream. You can combine 200 g of sour cream and as much cream - the sauce will be more tender. Next, take a little fresh dill, 1 head of onion, 1 carrot and parsley root. Seasonings and spices: allspice and hot peas, bay leaves, coriander, etc. Here you can improvise: a rabbit in sour cream, in a slow cooker, goes well with different mixes of spices. Let's start cooking. Put the cut carcass into the cooking bowl. Add water, but not very much - just enough to cover the meat.
Turn on the "Extinguishing" mode, let it boil. Then remove the lid, salt, put 1 whole carrot and onion,
parsley root, a few peas of allspice and black pepper, a couple of leaves of laurel. Cover and let simmer for another 60 minutes (set a timer). Remove the prepared meat, and on the broth, cook the sauce from sour cream and cream. Add to it finely chopped carrots that were with the rabbit. If desired, squeeze 6-7 cloves of garlic through the garlic, sprinkle them with roast, pour sauce on top and add dill greens. Delicious, aromatic dish is ready! Here is such a wonderful rabbit in a slow cooker, with sour cream and spices, you did it!
Sour cream sauce
Let's say a few words about the sauce. As you understand, it is made on the basis of meat broth, which requires about the same amount as sour cream. Both components pour in a saucepan, about 2 cups each. Salt and let them boil. In a frying pan in oil, lightly fry a few tablespoons of flour, dilute it with another glass of broth and pour into the sauce. Let it boil for about 5 minutes, just stir all the time. Then remove from heat and season meat. Do not forget that the rabbit in sour cream (the photo emphasizes this well) looks especially appetizing if sprinkled with finely chopped parsley (and dill).
Rabbit roast with potatoes
Another amazingly delicious culinary masterpiece is a rabbit with potatoes. To cook it, you will need: a carcass already chopped, a marinade for it, a dozen potatoes. Wash the prepared and prepared pieces of meat in a saucepan or bowl and fill with marinade (take a glass of apple or grape vinegar per liter of water), add spices, and chopped onion rings. Instead of water-vinegar mixture, sour white wine is quite suitable. Thanks to him, your rabbit with
potatoes, stewed in a slow cooker, will turn out to be spicy, with a very special taste. Let the meat marinate for about 2 hours. Then take it out, pat it dry with napkins and put it in the multicooker bowl. First turn on the “Baking” mode, so that the rabbit is slightly browned. Turn the pieces over for even frying. Naturally, this is done in oil or fat. When the crust has covered the barrel, it is the turn of the rest of the ingredients. In order for the rabbit with
potatoes in the slow cooker to stew well, fill the meat with a small amount of water with the addition of sour cream. Put sliced potatoes on top. Turn on the "Stew" mode and cook the meat for about an hour. Check that the potatoes are not hard. Sprinkle with herbs and ground pepper before serving. Vegetable (cabbage) salad will be perfectly combined with the dish.
Rabbit with vegetables
And another original recipe for making a rabbit in a slow cooker is with vegetables. It requires: a pound of meat fillet, several carrots, 2-3 onions, 4-5 potatoes, oil (vegetable), salt (to taste), spices and hot pepper (ground). Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, chop the onions and fry them together, setting the multicooker to the “baking” mode (about 40 minutes). Cut the meat into small pieces. When 15 minutes have passed from the bookmark of vegetables, add the rabbit and leave to cook until the timer signal. Then put potatoes cut into slices in a bowl, salt and pepper to taste, pour in a little water (so that it slightly covers the contents of the bowl) and set the “Stew” program. In an hour and a half, a wonderful roast is ready!
