Place the rabbit pieces in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the rabbit, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Marinating in buttermilk tenderizes the rabbit and adds a subtle tang. - 2
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, paprika, and an additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the flour mixture is well combined for even coating. - 3
Remove rabbit pieces from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to ensure a good coating.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Don't overcrowd the flour; coat pieces one by one for best results. - 4
Heat about 2-3 cm of vegetable oil or lard in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a piece of rabbit is added, but not smoking. - 5
Carefully place the floured rabbit pieces into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the rabbit cooks through. - 6
Remove the fried rabbit pieces from the skillet and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt immediately after frying.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Draining on a wire rack keeps the coating crispy. - 7
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs well with Belgian fries, a simple green salad, or mashed potatoes.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Consider serving with a side of aioli or a mustard-based sauce.
💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓If you can't find buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- ✓Ensure the rabbit is at room temperature before frying for more even cooking.
- ✓For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip the rabbit pieces: first in flour, then in a beaten egg (optional), and then back into the flour.
