Rabbit Pilaf in a Cauldron

A popular, much-loved dish — and it's delicious! Rabbit pilaf comes out lean, fragrant, and fluffy. Use a low-starch rice, such as basmati or parboiled. The meat is browned in a skillet first and only then simmered in the cauldron with the vegetables and rice.

  • How do you make rabbit pilaf in a cauldron?
    1. Rinse the rabbit, cut it into pieces, put it in a bowl, season with salt and meat spices, and toss. Then brown it in sunflower oil until golden.
    1. Peel the carrot and onion; dice the onion and cut the carrot into strips. Put the vegetables in the cauldron, add sunflower oil, and cook until soft.
    1. Add the rabbit to the vegetables, pour in hot water, and cook for 10-15 minutes. Then add the rice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add the pilaf seasoning.
    1. Once the rice has absorbed most of the water, nestle a whole head of garlic into the cauldron. Don't peel the garlic fully — just remove the outer papery layer and wash it well.
    1. After 7-10 minutes, turn off the heat, cover the cauldron, and let the pilaf rest for 30 minutes.
  • The aroma fills the whole kitchen!
  • Enjoy!
  • Tip! For rice dishes that turn out great every time, read the article on choosing rice and the secrets to cooking it.
  • If you use a pre-made spice blend, always read the label — these blends often already contain salt, so account for that or you risk over-salting.
  • Keep in mind that how you cut the carrot affects the result: grated carrot melts into a purée during cooking and blends evenly with everything else, while strips or batons hold their shape.
