Where the skys are so blue!
Threw this together just now and it was finger-lickin'. Told my dad earlier that I'd shot a rabbit while deer scouting and he facetiously stated all I needed now was some taters, precious (LOTR reference for the non-nerds). So I gave it a stab with what was on hand.

Took one young wild cottontail, quartered him, sprinkled him with Tony's, and sautéed him in the instant pot with some olive oil. Pulled the quarters out and deglazed with a shot of white wine vinegar making sure to scrape up all the crusty goodness. Added a cup of water and the quarters back in the pot and cooked on high pressure for 10 minutes.

Took a handful of small potatoes I was gifted from some farmin' friends and sliced them. Cooked them up in the cast iron skillet with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Fried 'em up til they were browned with just a bit of black on the thin slices. Tossed the rabbit quarters in there with'em.

Took the juices from the instant pot and whisked in a pack of instant gravy. Sautéed it until it thickened up nice. Poured it in the skilled with the taters and rabbit and let it all sit for a bit while I washed up the instant pot, fed the dog, and whistled up the woman.

Son...it was fine. Said woman is usually not a small game enthusiast but cleaned her plate and gnawed the bones.
 
This looks freaking delicious.similar to how cook my bunny, but I add carrots. Man, I can't wait to see one run across my yard in the next few weeks!
 
I love those lil bunnies with baby onions, taters and red wine cooked all day in the crockpot.
 
Rabbit is one of my absolute favorites Cook it many ways but just quartered and fried is just hard to beat.Also love it on the grill and covered in barbecue sauce Sure helps to justify that pen full of rabbit dogs i keep Nothing more fun than a good rabbit hunt over good dogs.
 
Oof I know it’s good, I haven’t ate or hunted rabbits in at least a decade, I got so burnt out on rabbits as a kid, rabbit was our beef growing up and hunting them with beagles was religion. Best thing was farmers would let their fields grow up then put word out they’re plowing then and a bunch of us would go wait in rows for rabbits to run out while plowing, wasn’t nothing to get over 100 in a day.
