Oh - just the rabbit in your sauce - wonderful! There was a place in Seattle - Cafe Juanita that served rabbit and it was absolutely wonderful. This reminds of that recipe. Thanks for the wonderful post!

I just have to say it... typically, I do everything I can to avoid getting a hare in my food.

I hope you'll forgive me -- it just had to happen; if I don't ever hear from you again, I'll understand.

It really is a delicious looking sauce!

This sounds delicious. Used to love rabbit as a kid, but haven't had it in years and years. Now, I wouldn't know where to get it.

Good dark meat... Will copy the recipe anyway, just in case ;-)
