This Slow Cooker Rabbit Stew recipe is great for wild or domestic rabbit meat. This rabbit stew is cooked in a slow cooker so the meat is guaranteed to turn out tender.
I boned out the rabbit, and cut the meat into cubes, but you can you use whole rabbit pieces if you would like to shorten the prep time, but it was nice not having to deal with the bones after it was cooked.
If you have wild or domestic rabbit meat on hand give this one a try; it’s delicious.
I served the rabbit stew with homemade buttermilk biscuits – recipe here.
