Fried rabbit with red beans rice

Oh how much I like rabbit – and this fried rabbit with red beans rice came out soooo good 🙂

I have to admit that I don’t usually fry rabbit at home. It’s a dish that I prefer to eat at a restaurant. I don’t know about you but I never manage to get the same taste and it’s never as crispy. So fried rabbit for me ends up with a trip to Mgarr 🙂

But this time I decided to give it a go and I’m pleasantly surprise with the result. I’m guessing that most restaurants use a deep fryer but I don’t have one. All I have is a chip pan and I prefer to keep the oil clean of any other foods – I keep the oil I use to fry potatoes in a jar so I can use it again, I use it 3 times maximum. Another thing I don’t have is a cast iron frying pan… I really want one but I’m still to find one that I like. Then I remembered my clay dutch oven 🙂 I’m sure it will make a good frying pan for my rabbit… And I wasn’t wrong 🙂

Talking about chips, this time I decided to make a nice red bean rice to go with the fried rabbit… and we really liked the combination…
