Rabbit: It's whats for dinner.

Confession; I used to be a picky eater.

The idea of having anything besides chicken or beef stressed me out. Seafood was never an option, pork was only acceptable if it was bacon, even my fruit and vegetable choices were pretty minimal. Now a days when I think of fried duck tongues my mouth starts to water, I prefer Pork Rinds over potato chips (especially if they are covered in chocolate), and I have eaten and enjoyed different internal organs of different animals. To say the least, my idea of comfort food has changed over the years.

With that being said, due to having a college student budget, it unfortunately isn't possible for me to be able eat those things everyday. So when I do get the chance to have something else besides ramen or frozen pizza for dinner, It makes those times that I am able to even more enjoyable.

Pictured above is a dish of local rabbit from Aquebogue, NY. It was served with a side of brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and red onion and finished with a sauce made from the rabbits bones. The rabbit was prepared by a very talented chef that I know... and just so happen to be living with. 

He started by spreading a pate of the rabbit's heart and liver on the belly, and then wrapping it around the loin. The whole bundle was then tightly rolled with plastic wrap and carefully poached in hot water. To complete the preparation, the rabbit was seared and basted with butter until it was cooked all the way through.
