Growing up, rabbit was a regular on our family table where it was a very tough chew. This recipe tenderizes while adding tremendous flavor. I doubled the liquid as suggested by some, but, for me, it became boiled rabbit. Next time, I’ll follow the original recipe first.

We doubled everything and simplified it a lot. The rabbit, as others had mentioned, didn't need to cook nearly as long as indicated!

Great recipe but next time will double the liquid and increase other quantities accordingly - the sauce is wonderful but there was not nearly enough. May also be a matter of reducing the cooking time as others have suggested.
