Braised Rabbit with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

Braised Rabbit with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 (3 pound) dressed rabbit, cut up
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups baby carrots
  • 6 potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch chunks
  1. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl, and set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Coat each piece of rabbit with the seasoned flour mixture, and cook in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes per side, until the rabbit pieces are golden brown. Remove the rabbit from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  3. Mix together the mushroom soup, mushrooms, garlic, Italian seasoning, and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Place the browned rabbit pieces in a large roasting pan or Dutch oven with a lid, and cover the rabbit with the carrots and potatoes. Pour the mushroom sauce over the rabbit, carrots, and potatoes, cover, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, until the rabbit and vegetables are tender and the sauce is bubbling.
