RABBIT FRICASSEE WITH DUMPLINGS



Rabbit Fricassee with Dumplings image

This recipe came from my grandmother, via one of my aunts. I'll admit, I use chicken instead of rabbit because I normally can't bring myself to eat rabbit. But my father and his brothers grew up trapping rabbits during the Great Depression, and this dish was something they ate. Feel free to use chicken, as it is a tasty...

Number Of Ingredients 17

RABBIT (OR CHICKEN)
3-4 lb rabbit, cut up (or equivalent chicken pieces)
all purpose flour for dredging
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 c crisco shortening (may substitute butter or margarine)
3-4 c chicken stock
1 large onion, cut in wedges
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c milk
salt and pepper to taste
DUMPLINGS
1 1/2 c self-rising flour
3 Tbsp crisco (or cold butter)
1/2 to 2/3 c milk
1/4 c fresh chopped parsley or thyme

Steps:

  • 1. Use a heavy dutch oven for this dish. Lightly dredge rabbit pieces in flour seasoned with the salt, pepper and paprika. You only want a very light coating, NOT thick as for fried chicken. You can also use the leftover seasoned flour from dredging as part of the 1/4 cup in the gravy, as it will be cooked.
  • 2. Heat shortening in dutch oven and brown the rabbit pieces well on all sides, turning as needed.
  • 3. Add onion and chicken stock (I used 3 1/2 cups) and bring to a boil; lower heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer 30 minutes.
  • 4. Make dumplings: In mixing bowl, cut shortening into self-rising flour with a pastry cutter. Stir in the chopped parsley. Stir in milk just until blended. (Note: I had to add 2 tablespoons more flour to get dumplings to the correct consistency for dropping. They should not be too liquid but should hold their shape, like drop biscuits.)
  • 5. Drop dough by spoonfuls ONTO the rabbit in the pot, but not down into the liquid. (OK, some of my dumplings did get down into the liquid, but they were fine.) Cook dumplings UNCOVERED at a good simmer for 10 minutes, then cover and simmer 10 more minutes. Remove rabbit and dumplings to large serving platter.
  • 6. Make gravy: Stir the flour into the milk until smooth. Gradually stir this into the hot remaining chicken broth until smooth. Season with salt and pepper if necessary (if you use the leftover flour from dredging, you will not need much extra seasoning). Heat to a gentle boil until it thickens.
  • 7. Pour gravy over and around the rabbit and dumplings to serve.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (3 pound) rabbit, cleaned and cut into pieces
2 ½ cups water
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
¼ teaspoon saffron powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give the rabbit plenty of room to brown and cook evenly.
  • Brown the rabbit in batches: If you try to brown all of the rabbit at once, it will steam instead of brown. Browning the rabbit in batches will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the rabbit will not brown evenly. Leave plenty of space between the pieces of rabbit so that they can brown on all sides.
  • Cook the rabbit until it is tender: The rabbit is done cooking when it is fork-tender. This usually takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it may take longer depending on the size of the rabbit.
  • Serve the rabbit fricassee over rice or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Rabbit fricassee is a classic French dish that is easy to make and full of flavor. It is a great way to enjoy rabbit, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give rabbit fricassee a try. You won't be disappointed!
