This Roast Rabbit in Wine Sauce Recipe is another great recipe for wild or domestic rabbit meat. I prepared this recipe with domestic rabbit meat, but if you use wild rabbit, you will probably have to cook the rabbit meat a little longer.
This recipe calls for port wine but I used a homemade blueberry wine I had on hand. The end result was a delicious and tender rabbit dish.
If you have rabbit meat available give this Roast Rabbit in Wine Sauce Recipe a try; it’s really good. Enjoy
