Barbecued Rabbit
3 pounds rabbit meat, cut into serving-size pieces Salt and pepper, to taste
Flour 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sauce:
1 cup cider vinegar 2 teaspoons hot red pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 cup tomato juice
1 tablespoon paprika 1/4 cup chili sauce or catsup
1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 chopped onion
Cayenne pepper, to taste
Roll the meat pieces in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet or roaster.
Brown the meat on all sides over moderate heat, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the ingredients
for the sauce in a saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes; pour the sauce over
the meat. Cover the pan and bake at 325o F until the meat is tender (about 45 minutes). Uncover the
pan and place it under the broiler. Broil 15 minutes or until the meat is brown. Serves 6.
Note: The sauce, when made without the vegetable oil, makes a good overnight marinade. This recipe
makes about 11/2 cups of sauce.
