MEXICAN " RABBIT" RAREBIT



Mexican

Even Rednecks can appreciate other cultures. This recipe came from my Gourmet Foods class at good ole Western KY U. One of the other "country folk" in the class said (and I quote),"I'd rather have my rabbit fried with gravy and biscuit." The teacher never heard him. I still haven't figured out if he was trying to be funny or he was being serious. Anyway, this could be served with chips if the bread has turned into a penicillin lab. And the best part is, everything you need is probably in your pantry or fridge. All times are estimates, as I never watch the clock.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup rotel tomatoes with jalapeno peppers (see note below)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • NOTE: If you really can't handle the heat of Rotel, just use plain ole tomatoes. You might also toss in a bit of onion or substitute mild salsa for the tomatoes. It's all up to you depending on your heat tolerance. Also, if you're serving this at a party, keep it hot in a fondue pot!
  • Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over direct heat (if you are using raw onion) and sauté until transparent. If not, skip this step.

A classic version of this dish was shared with me years ago. This is is my adaptation to more local ingredients. If you don't like beer, you can replace it with milk and it will still taste great. Serve over toasted bread or English muffins.

FRIJOLES III



Frijoles III image

I searched all the recipes, and none are close to real Mexican beans. The canned type are only a pale imitation of the real beans simmering all day on the stove. Easy and inexpensive, too. Do not soak and drain beans overnight as per American or European bean recipes. Cook the beans in their own liquid. You can use black beans and different chile peppers in this recipe.

CREOLE RABBIT (RAREBIT)

First off, there is no rabbit in this recipe. This is a take-off from the Welsh Rabbit with a New Orleans flavor. I recently moved my mother to a retirement home and this was in her recipe box. It says "For a Lenten main dish, omit the bacon and serve over fluffy rice".

Tips for Making Frijole Rabbit:

  • Use a good-quality canned frijole. La Costena is a popular brand that can be found in most grocery stores.
  • Rinse the frijoles before using. This will help to remove any excess salt or brine.
  • Don't overcook the rabbit. Rabbit is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. Overcooked rabbit will be tough and dry.
  • Use a good-quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will work well in this recipe.
  • Serve the frijole rabbit with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, potatoes, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Frijole rabbit is a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover frijoles. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give frijole rabbit a try. You won't be disappointed.
