Rabbit Liver in Sour Cream

Make an elegant rabbit-liver dish — it's tasty and good for you! We always kept rabbits at our country place. When their numbers had to be thinned out for the winter, the question always came up of what to do with the giblets. Over the years I've built up a whole collection of delicious recipes, and this is one I want to share. In sour cream the liver turns out incredibly tender, taking on a gentle creamy flavor. It's made from the simplest ingredients, yet comes out unbelievably good.

  • Start by soaking the liver in cold water. How long you soak it depends on the age of the rabbit and can range from 20 to 90 minutes. If the liver has an off smell, add a splash of vinegar to the soaking water. Pat the soaked liver dry and cut it into medium pieces. Peel the onion, carrot, and garlic. Slice the onion into half-rings, cut the carrot into thin sticks, and slice the garlic thin. Set a deep, high-sided skillet over the heat, pour in the vegetable oil, and add the garlic. As soon as the oil is hot and bubbling around the garlic, add the onion, and a few minutes later the carrot. Sauté the vegetables, stirring, for 4–6 minutes, then add the cut liver. Sauté everything together for another 5 minutes, then pour in the boiling water and cook over high heat, covered, for a few more minutes. Now season with salt and pepper, add your favorite spices if you like, stir in the sour cream, mix well, and reduce the heat. Braise the liver and vegetables over medium heat, covered, for another 12–17 minutes, depending on how large you cut the liver. Sprinkle the finished rabbit liver with chopped dill and serve hot with boiled potatoes, buckwheat, or another side. Enjoy!
