Cottontail Bunny Salad Food

BUNNY SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve gelatin in warm water.
• Pour into an 8" x 8" pan and chill until firm: shred with tines of a fork or force through a ricer to resemble grass.
• For each salad, fill a pear half with cottage cheese mixed with mayonnaise and chopped almonds.
• Place a piece of leaf lettuce on a chilled plate and top with gelatin "grass"; place pear half rounded side up on the gelatin.
• Make bunny's ears, mouth and tail from almonds.
• Make eyes by dipping the tip of a knife into paprika then gently into pear where you'd like the eyes to be.
• If you wish to garnish, form a "carrot" from yellow cheese or cheese salad with a sprig of parsley for "carrot greens".
• Serve with mayonnaise.

COTTONTAIL BUNNY SALAD

Steps:

• Place pear half, cut side down, on individual lettuce leaf.
• Making small slits to help hold in place, add red hot for nose, raisin halves for eyes, almonds for ears, and cottage cheese for tail.
• If serving very soon, the marshmallow is a fun substitute for a tail; exposed to air too long, it will become much less appealing!

SOUTHERN ITALIAN RABBIT STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Soak the rabbit in salted water for 24 hours in the refrigerator. This is not necessary for chicken.
• 2. Get the vegetable oil hot over medium-high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
• 3. Pat the rabbit or chicken pieces dry and brown well in the pot.
• 4. Meanwhile, chop half the capers or green peppercorns.
• 5. Get your tap water as hot as it will go and fill a 2 cup measure. Crush the saffron in your palm and sprinkle it into the hot water.
• 6. Once the meat is all browned, remove it to a plate. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until browned.
• 7. Add everything into the pot. Place the rabbit or chicken pieces into the liquid. If the liquid does not come at least halfway up the sides of the hare pieces.
• 8. Cover tightly and place wild rabbit in 300 degree oven for 2.5 hours. Domestic rabbit and chicken should only cook for 1.5 hours. Check the Rabbit after 2 1/2 hours; it should be finished.
• 9. Serve with wild rice, a green salad and a good Cabernet Sauvignon.
