Thread Name: BS: rabbit stew
Subject: RE: BS: rabbit stew
The best recipe I ever heard about began: "First you steal a rabbit." It seems, though, that you already have that part covered. There is some great advice above. The thing to bear in mind is that rabbits have very little fat on them, thus the addition of some bacon to cover can be a real plus if you are roasting it.

If I may digress a bit on the topic of rabbit fat for a moment I would like to add that the lack of fat on them is responsible for the term, "rabbit starvation". There are records of people who attempted to live off a steady diet of rabbits, but apparently all did not go well.
