Cottontail rabbit is lean, mild, and very delicious. Super healthy too, they say. Whenever they start nibbling my plants, I just put them on the dinner plate. A well placed headshot with a .22 air rifle not only makes the job very clean, but is doesnt make the neighbors call the cops either!
Since the meat is very lean is dries out easily, so dont grill it or sear it with high, dry heat. I usually either put them in the over whole at 275 F over a bed of herbs and veggies, or I chop them up and make a nice stew with tomatoes.
