Rabbit meat is not very popular for everyday dishes. But on the other hand, it has a very high nutritional value and sometimes, as a variety of the main menu, it can be prepared for your family.

If your rabbit is no longer young or large enough, then before cooking, the meat must be soaked for 12 hours. It is most convenient to do this by leaving it overnight.

Milk, cream, white wine or water with the addition of a small amount of vinegar (2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar per 1 liter of water) is suitable for soaking. After soaking, the carcass must be dried and you can mash it with your hands a little. This will make the meat softer.
